Federal Criminal Defense
Fight Back Against Federal Criminal Charges
Criminal charges are a serious matter that can have considerable consequences on your future. When these crimes are severe enough or occur in multiple states, the charges escalate into federal charges. Federal charges are much harder to defend against, and you need a legal team that you can trust to stand up to the challenge of a federal criminal defense case.
At The Lugo Law Firm, PLLC, our team has more than 25 years of experience in building cases against federal criminal charges. Our goal is to help you secure the best results possible in your claim, and we work to explore every option available to make that goal a reality. We know what is at stake in these cases, which is why we work to protect your rights and freedom.
A Tactful And Dedicated Defense
Even if the charges are the same, every case is unique to us. We take the time to ensure that we understand the details that make up your unique claim and build a defense around those facts. In the decades that we have represented clients across Texas, we have taken cases concerning federal charges for crimes involving:
- Drugs: Involves the illegal possession, distribution or manufacturing of controlled substances. Federal drug crimes often include trafficking across state lines and large-scale operations, such as moving significant quantities of narcotics like cocaine, heroin or methamphetamines.
- Guns: We can defend you against violations of federal firearms laws, including illegal possession, trafficking and distribution of firearms. Examples include possession of a firearm by a felon, illegal sale of firearms across state borders and trafficking of automatic weapons.
- Violence: Encompasses a range of criminal activities where physical harm is inflicted upon others. Federal charges can be levied in cases of violent crimes committed on federal property or in activities such as terrorism, hate crimes, and cross-state domestic violence or kidnapping.
The line between state and federal charges can be thin. When an undocumented person commits a state-level gun crime, it becomes a felony. If a drug crime involves just a few extra ounces of a drug, it escalates into a felony.
When our attorneys represent you, we will work closely with you so that you know exactly what is happening in your case and what we are doing to help you. We go the extra mile for our clients, including interviewing expert witnesses, reviewing police reports and examining evidence.
