Potential Issues in Federal Criminal Cases

Many issues can arise during a federal criminal defense case that requires the Dallas federal criminal lawyers. The most common ones are:

1. Illegally-Obtained Evidence

When federal agents or prosecutors investigate crimes, they cannot violate suspects’ constitutional rights. If they do, any evidence obtained as a result may be deemed inadmissible in court. However, you’ll need an experienced defense attorney to challenge illegally-obtained evidence since failing to do so could lead to conviction.

2. Conspiracy Allegations

Under the federal conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. § 371, parties to a formal or informal agreement to commit crimes can face imprisonment and substantial fines. Prosecutors argue that defendants were involved in a criminal enterprise by relying on overt acts.

3. Attempt Allegations

Federal law allows the government to charge individuals or organizations for attempt in the absence of evidence of a completed offense. Charges for “attempt” carry the same penalties as charges for the allegedly committed crime, putting defendants at risk of exposure for unsuccessful crimes.

4. Multiple Related and Unrelated Charges

Since various federal statutes impose severe penalties for acts in furtherance of, or conjunction with, specific criminal conduct, it’s not uncommon for defendants in federal cases to face multiple related and unrelated charges. This increases their exposure to substantial fines, prison time or both.

5. Confidential Informant or “Co-Conspirator” Testimony

Prosecutors can obtain a defendant’s testimony from confidential informants or alleged co-conspirators, making it harder to defend against allegations.

6. Sentencing Guidelines

While federal sentencing guidelines are not binding, prosecutors and judges rely on them to determine penalties to seek and impose at trial. Our attorneys work to negotiate a below-guideline plea deal or sentence to minimize your sentence’s impact.

Potential Penalties in Federal Criminal Cases

If convicted for a federal crime, potential penalties include:

– Federal Imprisonment – Defendants with severe crimes risk lengthy terms of imprisonment that could span decades.
– Probation – Less serious cases might warrant probation instead of imprisonment.
– Fines – The aggregate fines imposed for federal offenses can surpass the ability of many defendants to pay.
– Financial Penalties – Convicted defendants may be sentenced to restitution, recoupments, and other financial penalties.
– Statutory Penalties – Defendants may face additional statutory penalties depending on the severity and nature of the offense.
