Representation for High-Stakes Federal Crimes
Federal charges can be severe. If you are under investigation or have been charged with a federal crime in the Western District of Pennsylvania, it’s important to work with an experienced, trustworthy criminal defense team that is well-versed in federal court procedures, federal laws, and the strategies employed by federal prosecutors.
Federal attorneys have access to many resources, including investigators from agencies, such as the FBI, DEA and IRS. Convictions for federal crimes typically result in severe financial penalties and prison sentences that are much longer than those for state or local charges.
