Las Vegas Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers
Being accused of a federal crime is very different than being accused of a state crime. The Assistant United States Attorneys (the federal prosecutors) approach cases differently. Procedures are more complex. And penalties can be significantly harsher.
Our Las Vegas criminal defense attorneys are skilled in fighting Nevada federal charges. We always try to plea bargain a favorable resolution so you avoid trial. But if necessary we're ready to take your case to a jury and argue zealously for a "not guilty" verdict.
If we get involved at the investigation stage--before formal federal charges have been files--often we can head off an indictment, and dissuade the federal prosecutors from going forward.
