Federal Crimes

Experienced Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys in San Francisco

Not all criminal defense lawyers have the experience and knowledge to defend against federal charges. Federal prosecutors often do not prosecute a case until they are fairly certain that they have the necessary evidence to get a conviction.

There are serious consequences including lengthy prison sentences for convictions for federal crimes. To schedule a free initial consultation to work with one of our highly experienced criminal attorneys, please contact Garcia, Schnayerson & Thompson.

Our attorneys routinely work with people who have been charged with, accused of, or indicted for federal crimes:

  • Federal drug crimes, including conspiracy to import or distribute drugs
  • Federal white collar crimes
  • Criminal copyright violations
  • Software pirating
  • Money laundering
  • Structuring (i.e. trying to get around the bank transaction reporting rules)
  • Insider trading / Securities fraud
  • Identity theft
  • Real estate fraud such as equity stripping and foreclosure help scams
  • RICO (racketeering)
  • Child pornography
  • Environmental crimes
  • Federal benefits fraud
  • Bank robbery

The federal sentencing guidelines impose strict penalties in federal crimes. If you are part of a large drug case or other types of crimes with multiple defendants there may be opportunities for a reduction in your sentence if you are willing to give over evidence to the prosecutor or act as a government informant.

We have over 60 years of combined legal experience and focus solely on criminal defense matters. We know that building a defense against federal criminal charges is difficult but we have the knowledge and experience that has been gained from helping people over many decades.

If you are being accused of or think you might be under investigation for a federal crime, please contact our law firm now to find out how we may be able to help you.
