Aggressive Criminal Defense In Federal Cases
Many people think that federal crimes always involve dramatic acts like kidnapping, embezzlement or counterfeiting. However, any arrest made on federal property — including arrests involving alleged DUI, drug possession or domestic violence — can result in federal charges. Defendants in such cases may receive shockingly harsh sentences if convicted.
If you were arrested for drunk driving or another crime on the George Washington Memorial Parkway, at the Pentagon or at Fort Belvoir, or on another federal territory, call an experienced Fairfax federal crimes attorney immediately at B.R. Hicks, PC. He represents defendants in federal cases involving money laundering, extortion, securities fraud, white collar crimes and others, including those mentioned previously.
Don’t wait to contact his office! Federal prosecutors are well-trained and aggressive law enforcement officials, and you need an equally aggressive criminal defense lawyer if there’s a chance you may be facing them in court. Pick up the phone and call him, a Virginia federal crimes lawyer who will leave no legal option untried in fighting for your rights and your freedom.
Helping Clients Defend Themselves In Federal Criminal Cases
In general, rates of federal court convictions are higher than of those in state courts. One reason for this is that federal prosecutors are backed by comprehensive and intensive investigations made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Secret Service, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and other federal agencies.
However, this doesn’t mean that your situation is hopeless if you are facing federal charges. Sometimes there are procedural errors or breaches of civil rights committed by law enforcement officials in the course of an arrest or investigation, and if these are brought to light, they can help get a defendant’s case dismissed. A good federal crimes attorney is in a position to help uncover these and other legal violations to your benefit.

A conviction for a federal crime can have a long-lasting impact on a defendant’s life even after they have met all the terms of their sentence. It can make the defendant virtually unemployable for the rest of their life. In fact, simply being indicted for a federal crime can be enough to permanently derail a person’s career.
