Criminal Defense in Federal Crimes Cases

If you or someone you love has been arrested for a federal crime, there are certain rights that you have which you must exercise and ensure are protected. Primary amongst those is the right to remain silent. Federal investigators from the various agencies are experienced in methods designed to get a defendant to start talking about subjects that will, eventually, get that individual to reveal data of use to a prosecutor. Frequently, information from the defendant is then used to pursue a conviction.

In addition, federal sentencing guidelines allow for the harsh punishments of those convicted of crimes. In most cases, federal penalties are much more severe than would be faced had the charges been filed at the state level. Prosecutors are adept at using the possibility of such severe consequences to putting pressure upon the accused. It is imperative that you are represented by an attorney that is familiar with the federal court, the process and how to craft a strategic defense case.

In many federal criminal cases, the attorneys of Gounaris Abboud, LPA have taken action to successfully prevent charges from being filed, get existing charges reduced or have achieved favorable verdicts for our clients. If you have been accused of a white-collar crimedrug offensegun violationconspiracy or internet sex crime at the federal level, the first action you should take is to exercise your right to remain silent, and refrain from making any statements to authorities.

Nothing positive will be gained by speaking, even if the charges are against you are false. You will be required to identify yourself. Beyond that, you should remain polite and respectful, but insistent upon remaining silent, as is your right, until you have consulted with an experienced Canton federal criminal defense attorney from our firm.
