West Virginia Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer Dr. Nick Oberheiden

While all federal agencies have jurisdiction to investigate federal charges in West Virginia, most investigations involve the FBI, DEA, OIG, and IRS. Depending on the nature of the allegations, one single agency may be involved or an investigation may involve multiple agencies and task forces – such as the Medicare Fraud Strike Force and the Opioid Fraud and Abuse Detection Unit. Federal investigations will also typically involve prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Charleston, WV, or Wheeling, WV.

While some people have a pretty good idea of why they are being targeted by federal authorities (although you should never make assumptions about the nature of a federal investigation), many are surprised to learn that they are at risk for federal prosecution. Increasingly, federal agents and prosecutors in West Virginia are targeting individuals for crimes involving opioids, Medicare and Tricare abuse, and various forms of federal fraud.
