Why You Need Experienced Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys for Prosecutions in Austin

Austin is part of the Western District of Texas. This District is one of the largest federal districts in the country and encompasses several branches of the FBI and the Department of Justice in Austin, San Antonio, Del Rio, Alpine, El Paso, Waco, and Midland. With more than 4,000 new federal cases opened each year, the Western District of Texas has the third-highest number of federal prosecutions of all the 90+ federal districts in the United States. This high number is all the more a concern since the Justice Department recently instructed all federal prosecutors to intensify their efforts to secure maximum convictions in federal criminal cases. Austin is no exception to this announcement, and it is likely to see the number of federal investigations climb even more in the Austin area. Among the federal offenses most heavily enforced in Austin are:

Healthcare Fraud

• 18 U.S.C. 1349 Conspiracy to Commit Healthcare Fraud
• 18 U.S.C. 1347 Healthcare Fraud
