FEDERAL CRIMES
At The Crowder Law Firm, P.C., we understand that certain offenses are more likely than others are to catch the attention of federal law enforcement agencies and regulatory entities, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). Federal agencies are typically backed by virtually unlimited resources, which means an investigation may be underway for several months or longer before any arrests are ever made.
By the time a suspect is arrested on federal criminal charges, there is often a substantial amount of evidence that has already been collected. As soon as you learn that you are the subject of a federal investigation, the team at The Crowder Law Firm, P.C. can help you start building an aggressive defense. We understand what is at stake, and we will do everything we can to help you avoid a conviction.
CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN
Under Texas law, offenses that are committed against children carry some of the most severe criminal penalties. In addition to lengthy prison sentences and hefty fines, you could also be facing the destruction of your personal and professional reputation. Depending on your occupation, you could even risk losing your entire livelihood. The skilled professionals at The Crowder Law Firm, P.C. have the knowledge and resources to help you defend against charges of crimes against children, no matter how overwhelming the case against you might seem.
TRUSTED COUNSEL FOR CRIMINAL DEFENDANTS IN NORTH TEXAS
At The Crowder Law Firm, P.C., we believe firmly that every criminal suspect is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. We also know that doing so can often be extremely challenging for prosecutors. Our team begins each case with a full investigation in our client’s arrest and the circumstances that led to it. We work hard to find any and all information that could be used to demonstrate weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
