Because white collar crimes often involve a violation of federal law, a large number of white collar criminal investigations result in federal charges. Federal criminal charges can often be more even more serious than state charges. If you are facing federal charges, it is important to contact an experienced white collar criminal defense attorney (based in Austin and Houston) familiar with the federal sentencing guidelines, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and other vital components of the federal criminal justice system.
