Federal Criminal Defense Practice

Defending Individuals Facing Federal Charges

The consequences of a conviction in the federal system are generally severe. When it comes to homicide, a conviction could result in life in prison or even the death sentence. I have defended people charged with everything from federal misdemeanors to capital murder. As a first chair capital murder qualified criminal defense lawyer, I have fought against the death penalty on my clients' behalf. When charged with any federal crime, it is important to work with an attorney who has the experience and competency to work toward the best possible result under the circumstances. 

For over 30 years I have represented clients facing federal charges throughout Central Texas and all four federal districts. Schedule a free initial consultation with me through e-mail or by calling 254-753-3738.

30 Years of Experience Trying Federal Cases in Front of Juries

The outcome of a federal case may severely impact your life for years. After a conviction, judges are advised to follow the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines when determining your sentence. These guidelines establish certain minimum sentences for particular crimes. I have practiced federal criminal law since a time that predated the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, meaning that I have intimate knowledge on how to handle the guidelines. I will work to minimize their impact in your case. 

I know the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and I have tried numerous federal cases in front of a jury. I offer my clients the aggressive criminal defense representation they need in any type of crime that could be charged in the federal system, such as: 

• Capital murder (death penalty cases)
• Second and third degree homicide
• Manslaughter 
• Arson
• Assault
• Drug offenses
• Gun violations
• Sex offenses
• White collar crimes
