Understanding Federal Crimes
Federal crimes are prosecuted by the U.S. government and often involve investigations by agencies such as the FBI, DEA, IRS, and Homeland Security. These cases carry severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, and permanent damage to your reputation. Common federal crimes include:
- White-Collar Crimes: Fraud, embezzlement, insider trading, money laundering.
- Drug Trafficking: Large-scale drug distribution and manufacturing cases.
- Cyber Crimes: Hacking, identity theft, and online fraud.
- Federal Conspiracy: Allegations of involvement in multi-state or international criminal activities.
- Immigration Offenses: Illegal re-entry, human trafficking, visa fraud.
The Stakes Are Higher in Federal Cases
Unlike state cases, federal charges are pursued with greater resources and tougher penalties. Conviction often means years in federal prison, devastating fines, asset forfeiture, and a lifetime criminal record. That’s why it’s essential to have a defense team experienced in navigating the complexities of the federal system. At LibertyBell Law Group, we are prepared to go head-to-head with federal prosecutors to secure the best possible outcome for your case.
Our Federal Defense Strategies
We take a proactive and innovative approach to defending federal cases, using advanced techniques to challenge evidence and build a strong defense. Our strategies include:
- Early Intervention: We engage with prosecutors before charges are filed to prevent or minimize legal action.
- Challenging Evidence: Scrutinizing wiretaps, surveillance, and digital evidence for legal flaws.
- Negotiating with Federal Prosecutors: Reducing charges or penalties through strategic plea agreements.
- Building a Strong Trial Defense: Preparing compelling arguments and expert testimony to secure acquittals.

Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys
When the federal government begins investigating you, everything changes. You need experienced, strategic legal defense—immediately.
You're Being Watched—Even Before You're Charged
Federal agencies like the FBI, DEA, or IRS often conduct months of surveillance before making an arrest. They review your bank records, monitor communications, and build a case—long before you’re formally notified.
If you've received a subpoena, target letter, or even a phone call from an agent, you may already be under investigation.
The Raid, the Arrest, and the Interrogation
Federal arrests are strategic and sudden. Agents may arrive at your home or workplace with a search warrant. You're taken into custody, often with little explanation. The goal is to shock and disorient you—so that you talk without legal representation.
But remember: you have the right to remain silent. And you have the right to experienced legal defense.
Federal Charges Are Complex and Severe
Being charged in federal court is not the same as state court. The system is faster, stricter, and the penalties are often life-changing. The prosecution has significant resources and a conviction rate above 95%.
We represent clients in cases involving:
- White Collar Crimes: Wire fraud, mail fraud, tax evasion, embezzlement
- Drug Conspiracy & Trafficking
- Firearms & Weapons Violations
- Money Laundering
- Child Exploitation or Internet-Based Offenses
- Bribery, Public Corruption, and Political Crimes
- Grand Jury Subpoenas and Target Letters
Why You Need Federal-Level Legal Counsel
Our team includes attorneys with years of federal trial experience and insight into how prosecutors build cases. We understand the complexity of federal procedures, sentencing guidelines, and how to get ahead of an indictment.
- Over 20+ years of combined federal criminal defense experience
- Rapid response to subpoenas, target letters, and search warrants
- Strategies to avoid indictment or reduce charges
- Reputation for aggressive, discreet, and ethical representation
