Federal Crimes

Facing criminal charges in the Federal system is dramatically different then being charged in State Court.  The manner of prosecution, rules and laws, and the way cases are charged is more complex.  The United States Attorney’s Office has vast resources at their disposal and the time and support of numerous agencies.

Federal cases oftentimes have more severe penalties and defendants are given less discovery and information about the investigation and witnesses involved in their case.  Federal Court can be a frustrating and wearing process.  You need an attorney that is adept at the nuances of Federal Court and has the experience to represent you at every stage of a Federal Court proceeding including trial.  Attorney Brennan is an experienced Federal attorney who has the experience to help you at every stage of the proceedings against you.

Federal Investigations

If you are contacted by a Federal agency such as the FBI, CIA, DEA, you need to be extremely cautious about your interaction with any federal officer.  “Misleading” or “lying” to a federal officer is considered a crime and has serious criminal penalties as a consequence.  Many criminal defendants are contacted by federal officials before actually being charged in an effort to leverage the suspect through such an interview.  If you are contacted by a federal agent and you have concerns you should immediately contact an attorney before having any conversation with an agent.  Attorney Brennan can assist you in learning whether you are a target of an investigation and the reason you are being sought for questioning.  Attorney Brennan can help protect you and your rights if you choose to answer questions from federal authorities or make sure your rights are honored if you decline such an invitation.
