Are You Under Investigation For A Federal Crime?

Being the target of a federal investigation is a serious matter that jeopardizes your career and your future, not to mention your freedom. You may know in advance that you are under investigation, or you may not know until you are arrested. No matter the stage of your case, criminal defense attorney Clarissa Fernandez Pratt can help. With over a decade of trial court experience, including in federal court, she knows how to manage complex criminal cases with high stakes.

Understanding Federal Charges

Federal crimes may either violate a specific federal law or involve an activity that crosses state borders. Federal law enforcement from different agencies or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigate these offenses. Sometimes federal offenses overlap with Texas statutes, like in drug cases, and the two government entities will decide which one will pursue the charges. In some cases, both can bring their own charges. The federal government will often choose to pursue cases that include high-level offenses, large organizations or actions that cross state lines.

Common Federal Offenses

The list of federal crimes is long and complicated. Some of the more common federal charges that Clarissa Fernandez Pratt, Attorney at Law, represents include:
