Federal Crime Defense Attorney
Texas Federal Courts | The Southern District of Texas
Experienced Defense in Federal Court
Federal criminal cases are fundamentally different from state cases. They are investigated by powerful federal agencies including the FBI, DEA, IRS Criminal Investigation, and Homeland Security. Federal prosecutors are among the best-resourced in the country, and federal sentencing guidelines often result in much harsher punishments than state court.
If you are under federal investigation - even before charges are filed - you need an experienced federal criminal defense attorney immediately. The moment you learn you are a subject or target of a federal investigation, every statement you make can be used against you. Attorney Canlas can intervene at the earliest stage to protect your rights and potentially prevent charges from being filed.
Attorney Canlas is admitted to practice in the Southern District of Texas federal court and brings 26+ years of criminal defense expertise to bear on even the most complex federal cases.
