Federal Crimes

Central Florida, Federal Crimes Defense Attorneys

If you have been charged with a federal crime, the rules of criminal prosecution change completely. Federal crimes are often subject to long prison sentences without the possibility of parole. If you are the target of a federal criminal investigation in the Orlando area, you need to discuss your case with a lawyer at Jaeger & Blankner before you say anything to federal agents. Many people who try to talk their way out of charges end up convicting themselves. Our lawyers have more than 60 years of combined experience dealing with federal charges such as:

If you were not directly involved with the underlying crime you could still face federal conspiracy charges if the prosecutors have wiretap or other evidence that associates you with the person who committed the crime. Federal conspiracy charges are common in drug distribution cases since there are often many people indirectly involved.

Our goal as defense lawyers is to talk to federal prosecutors before they issue a grand jury indictment. The earlier we talk to prosecutors, the better our chances of obtaining a dismissal or reduction of the federal criminal charges against you. If you are charged with a crime, we may be able to influence whether you are charged in state or federal court. Depending on the crime, the sentences may be more lenient in federal or state court, so you need a knowledgeable attorney to advise you about your options and fight for the best resolution.
