Defense Strategies for All Federal Charges

Federal crimes involve many different types of serious crimes, such as:

  • Aggravated assault
  • Aggravated sexual abuse
  • Armed robbery
  • Arson
  • Bank fraud
  • Computer crimes
  • Counterfeiting
  • Credit card fraud
  • Cybercrimes
  • Domestic terrorism
  • Drug trafficking
  • Embezzlement
  • Firearm crimes
  • Human trafficking
  • Mail fraud
  • Money laundering
  • Tax evasion
  • White-collar crimes

For how extensive this list of federal crimes is, it is only a fraction of all the federal crimes on the books. Furthermore, certain criminal offenses that would be considered a misdemeanor or felony under state-level laws can be charged as federal crimes if they occur on U.S. federal property.

You don’t need to spend any more time looking for a law firm that can create a defense against your federal charges, though. Walsh Law and our federal crime defense attorneys are highly experienced and knowledgeable, so you can depend on us, no matter what federal charges you’re facing. 

Call (916) 610-3558 and request a no-cost case evaluation with our federal criminal defense attorneys, representing clients across NorCal.

Preemptive Defense for Federal Criminal Investigations

Typically, before federal charges are officially filed against someone, they are first investigated by a federal agency to see if the charges are justified. What most people don’t know is that you don’t have to wait to be officially charged with a federal crime to start defending yourself. If you have been notified of a federal investigation against you or you suspect that you will be investigated by a federal agency, call (916) 610-3558 immediately. Our Northern California federal criminal defense attorneys can jump into action to begin defending you, collecting evidence, preparing arguments, and communicating with the investigating agency, all with the goal of ending the investigation before charges are ever filed, which would keep your criminal record clear.

If you are being investigated for a potential federal crime, it is likely that the investigating agency is one of the following:

  • Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
  • Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
  • Office of Inspector General (OIG)
  • Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
  • Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
  • Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
  • Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
  • Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)
