If you or a loved one has been charged with a federal offense, you should immediately consult with an attorney who has federal trial experience.

Some common federal offenses include:
- Drug possession

- Conspiracy to import/posses drugs
- Bringing in or harboring aliens (undocumented)
- Illegal Re-Entry
- Wire Fraud

- Firearms offenses
