Defense Against Federal Charges in Pennsylvania
Federal crimes investigations are extensive and federal court procedures are complex. If you are under criminal investigation and believe that you may be charged with a crime, or if you are already facing federal criminal charges, you need immediate and experienced legal assistance to protect your rights. At Miller, Poole & Lord, LLP, we offer strategic, result-driven advocacy to individuals under investigation or facing federal charges.
Our federal criminal defense practice provides effective and skilled advocacy in confronting federal prosecutions. Contact us today for an immediate consultation.
A factor in all federal offenses is the United States Sentencing Guidelines. It is important that you work with an attorney who understands the complexity of the Sentencing Guidelines in the United States and who can anticipate challenges that emerge when your case is being handled in the federal criminal justice system.
Penalties are usually much more severe in federal cases, but sometimes cooperation with the government can assist you in minimizing your sentence. Our attorneys will protect your rights, strive to minimize charges, and argue for reduced penalties, while assisting you in your cooperation efforts.
Unlike crimes that are charged under state law, federal charges often emanate from a grand jury indictment. Many people are aware that they are suspects because they have discovered that a grand jury is investigating them. By the time the DEA, FBI, or other agencies come in, there is a significant amount of evidence already assembled against these persons. The government also has enormous support resources to use in their investigations. Our attorneys have the experience, tools and resources needed to effectively represent you.
We have experience in defending against federal criminal charges, including:
- Fraud: mail fraud, tax fraud, health care fraud, and bank fraud
- White collar crimes
- Drug distribution
- Protect Act violations
- Immigration crimes

Defense against white-collar federal crimes
White-collar crimes are receiving increasing attention from federal investigators. If you or your corporation is under investigation for a federal crime such as fraud, our attorneys can begin an immediate investigation to protect your rights. In many cases, we can work to minimize or defeat charges that may be brought against you, prior to the issuance of a grand jury indictment.
