KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
If you are being investigated for a crime, DO NOT agree to speak to the police without talking to an attorney first. Even if you think you have a good explanation or are innocent of the allegations, you should never speak with the police without speaking to an attorney first.

FEDERAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE
If you are facing a federal investigation, or find yourself charged with a federal crime, it is imperative that you have good representation.
Federal crimes can include misdemeanors that occur on federal land, such as DUI’s or Domestic Violence on a navy base or tribal land, and they can also be more complex interstate crimes like conspiracies or trafficking in drugs or firearms.
Regardless of the charge, as compared to the State system, the consequences can be much higher if you are convicted of a federal crime. Many charges carry lengthy prison sentences. For this reason, we are strong advocates for the rights of those who are facing criminal allegations from the United States Government.
Federal cases often involve thorough and complex investigations by the FBI, the DEA, and other federal agencies, and these investigations can result in a large volume of evidence that needs to be thoroughly and carefully reviewed by an attorney. You need someone who has the experience and knowledge to view hundreds of hours of surveillance and scour thousands of pages of reports to spot crucial legal issues and build a strong defense.
As with State criminal charges, it is just as important that if you are being investigated for a crime, you do not agree to speak to the police, the FBI, or any other government official without talking to an attorney first. This can make a huge difference on the outcome of your case.
Our Federal Criminal Defense attorneys are licensed in the Federal Court for the Western District of Washington and are available for consultation and representation if you are charged with a crime in the Tacoma or Seattle federal court.
