Federal cases are not the same as a DUI or shoplifting offense. Nothing is scarier than facing the Department of Justice and the FBI trying to prosecute you. In federal cases, you simply can’t wait to hire a lawyer; you can’t experiment and start off with the wrong lawyer. By the time you realize that you hired a clueless lawyer, you may already be charged. Nick is not a DUI defense attorney and he is the wrong lawyer to call for shoplifting. However, when the United States government, the Department of Justice, the Little Rock U.S. Attorney’s Office, the FBI, the IRS, the DEA, or the OIG-HHS agents are after you, you may consider Nick’s federal experience to avoid jail or to get the case dismissed.
- (1) Arkansas FBI, OIG, DEA, IRS Investigations. Nick has represented hundreds of people and businesses facing healthcare fraud, tax fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, opioid fraud, computer fraud, or other federal felony charges. The reason that the vast majority of Nick’s clients have not been charged is because of Nick’s unique approach to defending his clients. Ever heard of offense is the best defense? Exactly! Rather than sitting back and waiting for an event to happen to then defend his clients, Dr. Nick Oberheiden pursues an intense proactive approach challenging prosecutors and agents and confronting government decision-makers with exculpatory evidence, reasonable explanations, and factual and legal defenses BEFORE they are committed to bringing charges. 501-267-9880 and find out how he can help you today!
- (2) Little Rock Grand Jury Investigations. Clients from across the United States hire Nick to assist them with his experience in federal grand jury investigations. Nick has represented dozens and dozens of individuals and companies in some of the country’s best-known high-profile investigations as well as business owners just trying to save their license, livelihood and their liberty. If you think that just producing requested records to the grand jury is the appropriate response to a grand jury subpoena, you are wrong. Dead wrong! Call 501-267-9880 to speak to Nick immediately and directly and obtain the advice needed to stay out of trouble.
- (3) Case Dismissals & Probation. Few lawyers (feel encouraged to ask!) can represent to you that they have obtained dismissals in federal cases involving the United States or obtained probation in cases, where the sentencing guidelines suggested years of incarceration. Nick is that kind of lawyer! Most recently, Nick convinced a federal judge to grant his request for probation in a severe computer crime case. Similarly, Nick’s vivid court presentation persuaded a federal judge to grant Nick’s request for probation in a federal healthcare fraud case despite the government’s articulate opposition and a suggested sentencing of years in prison.

What Is a Federal Conspiracy?
Many federal cases in Arkansas are brought as so-called federal conspiracies. A federal conspiracy allows the government to connect different defendants into one single case, even though the defendants may have never worked together or may not even know each other.

- Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Identity Theft (18 U.S.C. 1028A; 18 U.S.C. 371)
- Conspiracy to Make False Statements Relating to Healthcare Matters (18 U.S.C. 1035; 18 U.S.C. 371)
- Conspiracy to Distribute Controlled Substances (21 U.S.C. 841; 21 U.S.C. 846)
