Federal Crimes

Federal Crimes

When you are charged with a federal crime, you are facing a merciless and stringent system. The consequences are often worse than in state court because of mandatory minimum punishments and relevant conduct where the unsupported word of one person can be relied upon to max out your sentence. The sentencing guidelines are nearly guaranteed to recommend a harsh sentence if you are convicted. However, the guidelines are not mandatory and a skilled attorney is needed to get you a sentence at the bottom of or below your guidelines.

The Federal Government also spares no expense to prosecute cases meaning each federal investigation is handled expertly with the most advanced technology and techniques. You need an attorney who is on the cutting edge and can stay ahead of the curve.

You will have a fighting chance in federal criminal court if you hire a skilled defense attorney to stand up for you. The Law Office of Preston Jones focuses primarily on criminal law and understands what goes into every federal criminal prosecution. Our detailed knowledge regarding the investigation and indictment procedures helps us see where there are flaws in the evidence that will give you an advantage when we craft your defense.

Every case starts out as a fight for acquittal, but there may be times when it is in your best interest to take a deal. You need a lawyer who can comprehend the complexities of sentencing and can advise you fully at every stage.

Most state criminal defense attorneys do not also practice in federal court which can be very frustrating when your case goes federal and you have to look for, and pay, a new lawyer. Or even worse, your state lawyer might decide your case will be their first in the federal system. This will never be a concern if you hire The Law Office of Preston Jones.

Federal crimes rotate through our office frequently. Cases we handled include:



  • Bank Fraud
  • Wire Fraud
  • Cybercrimes
  • Identity Theft
  • Drug Conspiracies
  • RICO
  • Embezzlement
  • Money Laundering
  • Healthcare Fraud

Many of these crimes are considered especially insidious meaning you will not only have to stand up to the legal aspects of your charges but also the moral ones. We work with you and the prosecutor to cut through the initial moral outrage so you are not convicted on emotion alone. This presents opportunities for plea bargaining or even getting your charges dropped.

You do not want to face these charges with an attorney who is not experienced in federal court. The Law Office of Preston Jones is available and ready to aggressively advocate for you as we navigate through the federal court system to produce the best result under your circumstances.
