Federal White Collar Crimes
The state and federal government employ a large staff of attorneys, experts and investigators to go after anyone they believe deserves to be prosecuted. This may seem to be an unfair advantage for the government. However, at the law office of Peter Barrett in Dallas, Texas, we regularly tip the scales back in favor of our clients.
Our lawyers defend clients charged with all types of federal and white collar crimes, including:
- Securities and investment fraud
- Bank fraud, including falsified loan applications
- Medicare/Medicaid fraud, involving false claims for heath care services or prescription drugs.
- Home mortgage fraud, including deceptive and fraudulent sales tactics and abusive lending
- Internet child pornography
- Federal drugs and weapons charges
- Tampering
- Embezzlement
- Credit card theft
- Identity theft
- Bribery and official misconduct
- Forgery
- Writing bad checks
- Conspiracy charges
- Money laundering
- Mail and wire fraud
Many types of drug crimes and white collar crimes can be charged at the state or federal level. Usually more serious offenses — for example, drug distribution or trafficking charges involving larger quantities of drugs — are charged in federal court. In cases such as mortgage fraud and child pornography, the federal government has made prosecution of these types of crimes a priority.
The proceedings and the rules governing federal sentencing and procedure are highly specialized. Since federal criminal charges are subject to mandatory minimum prison sentences, it is important to hire a lawyer who has many years of experience with the federal system.
