At Oberheiden, P.C., we are Texas-based trial lawyers with significant experience in representing federal matters. With a team that includes experienced criminal defense lawyers and seasoned former U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors, we handle cases from investigation through all levels of the trial and appellate process in federal courts.
If you are facing a federal criminal investigation, what do you need to know? First and foremost, you are entitled to legal representation, and it is critical that you put an experienced legal team on your side to defend you against state and federal prosecutors. You could be very well facing off against a team of experienced agents and attorneys from multiple law enforcement agencies. If you do not take adequate measures to protect yourself, they will do what it takes to convict you.
Second, the fact that you are under investigation does not necessarily mean that you will be charged with a criminal offense. The fact that you have not yet been charged may be that prosecutors don’t believe they have enough evidence to convict you – yet. By intervening in the investigative process, our Beaumont, TX lawyers can seek to persuade the prosecutors that they will not be able to build a case, and that further pursuit of the investigation would amount to a waste of everyone’s time and resources.
Meet Our Federal Criminal Defense Team
Our federal criminal defense team brings notable experience and legal specialization to representing clients in federal cases in Beaumont, including 70 collective years of experience within the U.S. Department of Justice. Our team approach means that you will benefit from all of this experience during your federal case. Unlike other firms, at our law office we do not ask you to put your trust in a single attorney or a legion of inexperienced junior associates.
How We Defend Clients in Federal Matters
1. Aggressive Intervention in Federal Investigations
We have successfully helped our clients close their investigations without facing criminal charges. By intervening in the government’s investigation as early as possible, we have the greatest chance to challenge their allegations and assumptions. We can also present convincing arguments that lead to non-prosecution for federal crimes.
2. Comprehensive Defense Strategies
From constitutional protections to challenging the government’s evidence of intent, we take an exhaustive approach to defense. We focus on identifying all grounds to challenge the government’s case. The more issues we raise, the more likely prosecutors think that it’s not worth taking your case to trial in federal court.
3. Obtaining Bond
Obtaining bond in federal cases is a very different matter than bond in state cases. We have extensive experience in federal bond matters. In cases where we have sought to secure bond for our clients, we have maintained a success rate of close to 100%.
4. Seeking Dismissal Following Indictment
Many defense attorneys think an indictment reduces their ability to negotiate a plea deal. We know this isn’t the case. We have convinced federal prosecutors and judges to dismiss charges following indictment.
5. Fighting for Justice at Trial
Our team has the experience of hundreds of jury and bench trials. We are more than comfortable taking our clients’ cases to court. If your best option is a jury trial, we will work to convince the jurors or judge that guilt beyond a reasonable doubt cannot be proven.

Q&A with the Federal Criminal Defense Team at Oberheiden, P.C.
Q: Should I talk with federal investigators?
This is one of the few questions in criminal law that has an absolute answer. That answer is a resounding no. You should never speak with any federal law enforcement officer, including those from the FBI, DEA, or OIG, without consulting a Beaumont, Texas federal criminal defense attorney. You have the right to have an attorney present when speaking with any law enforcement officer. Remember, speaking without your lawyer present only increases the chances of you saying something that can be later used against you. Even if you are involved in no wrongdoing, you wouldn’t be the first person accused of a crime based on statements taken out of context.
Q: How important is prosecutorial experience when defending against federal charges?
We believe that prosecutorial experience is critical. Especially so when fighting to avoid unjust fallout resulting from federal investigations and charges. The more you know about the government’s approach, the better off you will be.
Q: How early in my investigation should I seek legal representation?
If you are under investigation, it’s time to hire legal representation. You need a team that can intervene right away and collect critical information about the government’s case. Then, you must begin to mount an effective defense.
