Maryland Federal Crime Attorney
If you receive a letter from the U.S. Justice Department, the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency or another federal agency saying that you are under investigation for a federal crime, time is not on your side. You will need an experienced federal criminal defense attorney by your side as soon as possible — before you are charged with a crime if possible.
The sooner you contact me, the sooner I can contact prosecutors and view the government's case against you. My first goal is to persuade prosecutors not to charge you with a federal crime or to charge you with a less serious offense. Once federal prosecutors charge you with a crime, it will be far more difficult to negotiate with them.
The following links offer more information about federal charges:
- Federal drug charges: Federal prosecutors don't take on low-level drug cases. If you are facing drug charges in federal court, you are in a fight for your life.
- Federal child pornography and sex crimes: It is not unusual to see local prosecutors shift child pornography cases to federal court, where the penalties are more serious.
- Federal sentencing guidelines: If you are convicted of a federal crime, it's not a matter of whether you are going to prison, but for how long. Federal sentencing guidelines are Draconian and often leave little leeway to judges.

The federal government has nearly unlimited resources to prepare a case against you. To level the playing field, you will need an experienced federal court lawyer to protect your interests.
