Fighting or Avoiding Federal Charges in Phoenix, AZ

Although each case is unique, we approach every case with the same goal — to protect our clients as quickly and comprehensively as possible. We explore all possible grounds for dismissal prior to trial in federal court, including:

• Forestall Charges. Our Firm’s primary goal is to avoid criminal charges; one of the ways we do this is by rapidly implementing sophisticated responses to the government’s allegations. Indeed, for some of our clients, we have been able to successfully lessen their sentences, we have made otherwise criminal cases into civil ones, and in federal investigations, we have forestalled criminal charges.
• Obtained Bond. Bond considerations in federal cases are very different from bonds in state law matters. For most of our clients, we routinely obtain a bond in federal criminal cases.
• Defenses. Criminal offenses may be countered by a number of accepted defenses. Also, criminal offenses require evidence of intent. Our firm has defended clients in federal investigations, for example, by proving that alleged misconduct did not occur, did not occur intentionally, or did occur but was justified by a recognized defense.
• Federal Offenses Handled. Our Phoenix federal criminal defense lawyers have defended clients against most types of federal offenses and criminal conspiracies. These include, but are not limited to,18 U.S.C. 1347 healthcare fraud (Medicare fraud, False Claims Act, Medicaid fraud, violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute or the Controlled Substances Act),18 U.S.C. 924 (possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense, marijuana),18 U.S.C. 1341 mail and 18 U.S.C. 1343 (wire fraud, public corruption, bribery, tax fraud, tax evasion, securities fraud, insider trading, Ponzi schemes, fraud, mortgage fraud), and 21 U.S.C. 841 (distribution and possession with intent to distribute).

If you are facing a federal criminal charge or any other type of government action, call our Phoenix federal lawyers to discuss your case in confidence. The former federal government attorneys at our firm know first-hand how the government builds a case and how to respond with your best interests in mind.

The Crucial Component to Success: We Are Trial Lawyers

Oberheiden, P.C. believes that an assertive trial practice wins the day. As such, we don’t recommend that clients take bad plea deals. Our Phoenix federal criminal attorneys diligently analyze all elements of the case while aggressively negotiating with the government. In all cases, we approach the government with the idea of taking the case to court. We do not allow our clients to be easy prey for the government.
