Federal Defense Overview

Experienced Defense on Complex Federal Charges

Federal criminal prosecutions differ substantially from criminal cases that originate from local arrests. For example, the grand jury processes, the rules of trial procedure and sentencing practices of U.S. District Court are all different from those applied in cases charged and prosecuted under Texas law. Moreover, a defendant facing federal charges must overcome the almost unlimited resources of the federal government.
