Federal Crime Defense in Montcalm County

Federal criminal charges require a different level of defense compared to state crimes. At our law firm, we have a strong understanding of federal criminal law, which includes offenses like:

• Drug Trafficking and Distribution: Federal drug charges involve larger quantities of controlled substances and often have much harsher penalties than state-level offenses.
• White Collar Crimes: This includes healthcare fraud, tax fraud, wire fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and other financial crimes that can lead to significant fines and prison sentences.
• Immigration Crimes: Offenses like illegal entry, visa fraud, or deportation proceedings require in-depth knowledge of federal immigration laws.
• Gun Crimes: Weapons offenses, including illegal possession or trafficking of firearms, are treated seriously at the federal level.
• Cyber Crimes: With the increasing prevalence and sophistication of technology, crimes like hacking, identity theft, and online fraud are becoming more common and are heavily prosecuted at the federal level.

Our Montcalm County defense attorneys are familiar with the federal court system, procedures, and investigative methods, which allows us to develop a targeted defense strategy to fight these serious charges.
