Federal Criminal Defense

The Miami federal criminal defense lawyers at DMT have significant experience defending cases in federal court. Federal crimes are serious offenses that are prosecuted by U.S. Attorney's Office. Unlike state crimes, federal law enforcement authorities such as the FBI, DEA, ATF or Secret Service are responsible for investigating federal crimes. Because these law enforcement agencies have unlimited resources, investigations can last years before an arrest is made. If you find yourself the subject of a federal investigation, immediately contact the criminal defense firm of  DMT so we can defend and protect your rights.

Federal authorities spend much more time investigating cases than state law enforcement authorities. This can work to your advantage. The law firm of DMT is very successful in getting involved in federal cases prior to the indictment. The opportunity to engage in negotiations with federal authorities and prosecutors can result in the lessening of charges or even preventing the filing of an indictment. If you are being investigated by the FBI, DEA, ATF or secret service, contact DMT immediately, so we may contact the authorities in an attempt to resolve your case early on in the investigation. Do not contact the authorities yourself or you will find that you are putting a nail in your own coffin. 

Individuals are charged in federal court for violating federal law or committing crimes on federal property. Federal criminal defense cases are prosecuted more quickly than in state court. Thus, it is imperative to hire DMT as soon as possible, so there is ample time to participate in the discovery phase of your federal case and give the legal team at DMT adequate time to properly prepare and defend your federal criminal case, and if necessary go to trial. In federal court, the federal sentencing guidelines will apply to your case. In many cases, the guidelines are more severe than the sentencing guidelines in state court depending on the offense.  Our firm has represented clients in the following federal crimes cases:
