A Federal White-Collar Defense Firm
Many criminal cases are handled at the state level in Wyoming, with local attorneys and state judges presiding over the matters. These cases are settled by state laws interpreted by state appellate courts.
However, federal white-collar crimes are slightly different, involving unique laws and procedures. All these offenses are prosecuted by federal attorneys with years of experience working on these types of cases. With that in mind, it is crucial to have knowledgeable attorneys who understand the nuances of federal law procedures to handle these cases.
Defending against federal white-collar crimes can also be more challenging because of the resources of the prosecution. Often, you will have to fight against the largest law enforcement agencies in the world, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Internal Revenue Service. Some cases may even involve multiple agencies gathering evidence against you during the investigation stage. The federal government does not like to lose cases. When going against the full resources of the United States government, you will want to have an experienced white-collar law firm on your side.
Additionally, the consequences of a conviction for a federal offense can be significantly more severe than those found at the state level. When facing the possibility of spending time in prison, it is crucial to find attorneys who will avoid making mistakes due to unfamiliarity with the federal system.
It is also important to note that federal offenses are defined by the United States Code, not by state legislation. Any attorney who regularly practices in state court may be unable to adapt to these slightly different laws and procedures. However, attorneys with experience in federal court have no trouble navigating the federal legal system.
A Legal Team With Extensive Experience
At Oberheiden P.C., we pride ourselves on having unmatched experience in the field of federal white-collar defense. Our attorneys have spent years defending against these offenses or prosecuting them at the federal level. With that legal knowledge, our attorneys will bring valuable insight to your white-collar case.
In addition to our attorneys, we also have a staff of investigators who will work diligently to gather information about your case and determine the truth of what happened. Our team never builds a defense strategy based on the word of the federal investigators and prosecutors. Instead, we will discover the actual facts of your case. Our investigators are retired federal law enforcement members who will provide your attorneys with the invaluable knowledge you need to build a strong defense.
Senior-Level Attorneys, Investigators, and Trial Consultants
While other firms may have lawyers with experience in federal defense cases, you might not have direct access to them. In many situations, these clients may only speak with a senior lawyer on the eve of the trial. Most of their concerns and legal work are usually addressed by junior associates and paralegals working to gain experience handling these cases.
At Oberheiden P.C., we take a different approach. When you hire us for legal assistance, you have direct access to the senior lawyer on your case. If you need to contact us, your email or call goes straight to a senior lawyer who can address your needs and concerns. Every client deserves personalized attention throughout these legal proceedings.

Frequently Asked Questions: What You Need to Know about White-Collar Crimes
Should I Worry About Being Under Federal Investigation?

- Hire an experienced white-collar criminal defense attorney to represent you.
- Do not speak to any law enforcement agents until talking to a white-collar defense attorney.

What Can Trigger a White-Collar Investigation?
There are various ways that white-collar investigations can start. For example, whistleblowers, such as former employees or clients, may bring evidence of potentially criminal or fraudulent activity to law enforcement agencies. In turn, that can lead to further investigation. In other cases, information in public filings or tax returns can raise suspicion and start an investigation. If you believe you may be under a potential investigation, you must take steps to protect yourself and your business.
Why Should I Not Talk to Federal Investigators?
It is not a good idea to handle a white-collar crime investigation on your own, even if you believe you have done nothing wrong. You do not want to discuss your case with a federal prosecutor before speaking to an attorney for several reasons.
Unless you thoroughly understand the complex laws of white-collar crimes, you may not realize that your actions could violate the law. You will want to let a skilled attorney handle these matters to avoid inadvertently incriminating yourself.
Federal investigators typically keep their cards close to their vest. During an investigation, they want to avoid compromising the case. They usually need more evidence to obtain an indictment if they reach out to you. By speaking with them, you could provide the information they need to build or strengthen a case against you.
Instead of trying to handle the situation by yourself, contact a reputable white-collar criminal defense attorney at Oberheiden P.C. We will discuss the matter and develop a plan of action for your case. Our attorneys are experienced in handling these complex federal cases. We will work tirelessly to protect your rights and interests throughout the process.
What Potential Penalties Could I Face?
The penalties for a conviction on white-collar crime charges depend on the specific violation of the law. Professional sanctions may include the revocation of certifications or licenses required for a person to work in their field. Financial penalties for white-collar crime convictions can be severe and may include fines and restitution. Finally, many white-collar crimes carry the potential for prison time. These offenses are typically felonies, with the possibility of spending more than one year in prison.
