Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer
If you have been charged with a federal crime, you need an attorney who knows the system and knows how to help. Not every criminal defense attorney accepts cases involving federal crimes and knows how the federal sentencing guidelines apply to your case.
I do. I am Scott. C. Brown, a Wheeling, West Virginia, criminal defense lawyer who represents people from West Virginia and Ohio who are facing criminal charges in federal court.
I represent clients charged with federal crimes, including:
- Drug crimes
- Conspiracy
- Drug trafficking
- Possession of illegal weapons
- Felon in possession of a firearm
- Immigration issues
- Fraud
- Embezzlement
- White collar crime
- Internet crime
Serious Consequences for Federal Crimes
Clients are frequently shocked at the draconian nature of federal sentences. If you are charged in state court for selling less than an ounce of crack cocaine, for example, you may get off with just probation. In the federal system, the same act could result in a prison sentence of six to seven years.
Long periods of investigation are often involved in federal cases. Authorities may spend months building a case against you, speaking with confidential informants or videotaping your actions.
Don't Wait for Them To Come to the Door With a Search Warrant
Have your associates been contacted by a federal agent? Have you received a letter stating that you are a target of a federal investigation of any kind? Don't delay. It is imperative to contact a federal criminal defense attorney immediately. The earlier that you seek representation, the more options will be available to you.
I will work diligently to protect your constitutional rights and to minimize the potential negative consequences. To discuss your case, please contact me today.
