Pensacola Federal Crimes Attorney

Aggressively Combatting Charges In Federal Courts

If you have been charged with a federal crime, you face an all-out battle to protect your future; with the federal government involved, you are at a huge disadvantage when mounting your defense. When facing such an uphill battle that may result in severe consequences, it is important to begin planning your defense with an aggressive and experienced attorney as quickly as possible after you have been notified of a pending investigation or have been arrested for a federal offense.

At the law firm of Michael J. Griffith, P.A., we offer aggressive and insightful defense against a wide range of federal offense. With more than 40 years of experience, our Escambia County federal crimes lawyers have the knowledge and skills needed to help you mount a strong defense against charges relating to:

  • White collar crimes
  • Mortgage fraud
  • Money laundering
  • Insurance fraud
  • Corruption or conspiracy
  • Drug trafficking
  • Securities fraud

We believe that there is no substitute for experience and aggression when you have been charged with a federal offense. With that philosophy in mind, we will not rest until we have explored every last defense option available to you. On your behalf, we will consult experienced experts, including private investigators and forensic examiners who will assist in reviewing your case. Any evidence gained during our review, including inconsistencies in evidence, deviations from police procedure or infringements upon your rights, will then be used to draft your defense.

Do Not Wait To Begin Planning Your Defense

A conviction of a federal offense can lead to severe penalties, most notably incarceration in a federal penitentiary. If you have learned that you have become the focus of a federal crimes investigation, or have already been arrested on federal charges, it is important to contact our office immediately. By getting us involved early, you can begin planning your defense while the prosecution is still gathering evidence against you. This aggressive approach greatly improves your chances of limiting the harm caused by a conviction.

Our staff is available to discuss your case 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will happily accept the collect charges should you need to talk to us about your charges from jail. Contact us online or call (850) 495-7977 to learn more about our federal crimes defense and how we can help you protect your future.
