Federal criminal cases can raise many issues, so you need an experienced Dallas Federal Criminal Lawyer to handle them. Ignoring relevant issues could lead to mistakes that may result in dire consequences such as incarceration and hefty fines. Below are some of the potential issues you might face during a federal criminal case:

gavel
1. Illegally-Obtained Evidence

During investigations, federal agents and prosecutors do not have jurisdiction without limits. Their actions are limited by the protections afforded in the U.S. Constitution, and any evidence obtained by violating suspects’ or defendants’ constitutional rights may be deemed illegally-obtained. Unfortunately, many people who lack experienced defense attorneys are convicted on evidence that should have been deemed inadmissible in court.

gavel
2. Conspiracy Allegations

Under the Federal conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. § 371, it is not necessary to commit a substantive offense to face substantial fines and imprisonment. Various other Federal statutes also contain conspiracy provisions, and due to their broadness, prosecutors have more power during investigations and prosecutions. They can argue that you were party to an agreement (formal or informal) to commit a crime and that any of your co-conspirators executed an “overt act” toward the commission of a federal crime. This could warrant prosecution on a federal level.

gavel
3. Attempt Allegations

Federal law allows prosecutors to charge for attempt in the absence of evidence of a completed criminal offense. Often, the penalties for attempt match those for the allegedly-attempted offense itself. Due to potential attempt accusations, individuals and organizations being targeted for Federal prosecution must be extremely careful to avoid relying on defense strategies that could expose them to prosecution for an “unsuccessful” crime.

gavel
4. Multiple Related and Unrelated Charges

In federal cases, it is not unusual for defendants to face multiple charges for both related and unrelated crimes. Some of the most common accusations are mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, which can encompass almost any criminal conduct. In a healthcare fraud case, providers will often face allegations of multiple healthcare-related offenses; and in securities fraud cases, companies will often face charges for multiple corporate crimes, drawing attention to various other alleged “criminal enterprises” that could trigger multiple Federal accusations.

gavel
5. Confidential Informant or “Co-Conspirator” Testimony

A risk in Federal criminal cases is the risk of a Federal prosecutor obtaining testimony from a confidential informant or an alleged co-conspirator. If somebody else with an interest in the outcome of your case testifies against you, you will need to find ways to overcome this testimony as part of your defense.

gavel
6. Sentencing Guidelines

Most Federal criminal case penalties are outlined in the Federal Sentencing Guidelines (the Guidelines). Though the guidelines are not binding, prosecutors and judges will often rely on them in determining what penalties to seek and impose if a conviction is gained at trial. However, it will often be possible to obtain a below-guideline plea deal or sentence, and Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys at Spodek Law Group, P.C. have significant experience protecting clients against the penalties prescribed by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

Federal criminal cases have severe punishments, so you need the defense attorney to support you. A conviction could mean federal imprisonment for multiple years, probation with significant restrictions or limitations, fines that can bankrupt individuals and businesses, and restitution, recoupments or other financial penalties. With Spodek Law Group, P.C.’s Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys, we will fight for your freedom, defend your legal rights while protecting your reputation and finances.
