Denton and Collin Counties have experienced an uptick in federal activities, FBI arrests, search warrant executions, and grand jury proceedings.

With headquarters at the federal courthouses in Tyler, Beaumont, Sherman, Marshall, and Lufkin, the district is known for its strict enforcement of federal laws.

FAQs: Important Questions Regarding FBI, OIG, and DEA Investigations in Frisco
What Are the Penalties in Federal Criminal Cases?
Penalties in federal cases can be harsh and require effective legal advice. In general, most federal crimes matters are felonies. They carry sentences ranging up to 10 years (healthcare fraud) or 20 years (mail fraud, wire fraud). Key in a federal investigation is having experienced attorneys intervene as early as possible. A competent lawyer can quickly open a dialogue with the agents or prosecutors leading the case. Acting with alacrity makes it more likely for the client to escape the investigation unharmed.
