Aggressive Representation for All Types of Federal Charges

In the United States, most crimes are charged at the local and state level rather than the federal level. This is because criminal codes and statutes can vary dramatically from state to state. Additionally, the majority of criminal charges involve minor crimes and violations and do not cross state boundaries.

By the time a federal agent knocks on your door, it’s very likely that the government has been building a case against you for months – or even years. Because federal agencies enjoy extensive resources that state and local officials do not, it is difficult to stand up and fight when a prosecutor or federal agent is attempting to deprive you of your rights.

Not all attorneys are equally equipped to represent your interests if you have been accused of a federal crime. Since 1983, our firm has developed a reputation for tough client advocacy and committed counsel. With over 100 years of experience between our team members, we have helped many clients face down federal charges.

At Caplan & Tamburino Law Firm, P.A., we have successfully represented clients charged with various federal crimes, including:

Your Rights in a Federal Criminal Case

As a defendant facing federal criminal charges, it is essential that you understand your constitutional rights. The Constitution provides several important protections for individuals accused of federal crimes.

  • The Fourth Amendment guarantees your right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. This means that law enforcement must obtain a warrant before searching your property or seizing evidence.
  • The Fifth Amendment provides several crucial protections, including the right to remain silent and the right to due process. You also have the right to a grand jury indictment, which means that a group of citizens must determine if there is enough evidence to bring charges against you.
  • Under the Sixth Amendment, you have the right to an attorney. This right ensures that you have legal representation throughout the criminal justice process, from the initial investigation to trial and beyond. You also have the right to a speedy and public trial, and the right to confront witnesses and evidence presented against you.

It is important to work with an experienced federal criminal defense attorney who understands your rights and will fight to protect them. Your attorney can help ensure that your constitutional rights are not violated, and can work to build a strong defense on your behalf.

What Should I Do If I’VE BEEN ARRESTED?

  • 1. Don’t Talk to the Police!

    It’s crucial to know that while you should remain respectful with authorities, you have the right to remain silent. This a right protected by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which makes it clear individuals are protected from being compelled to be a witness against him / herself in criminal matters.

    It’s important to note that:

    • Talking will not help you avoid an arrest. If law enforcement has probable cause to arrest you, then they will arrest you.
    • By speaking, you risk making a confession or providing information that can be used to indict you, even unknowingly.
    • Even if you feel that information being discussed is “harmless,” it is still in your best interest to invoke your Fifth Amendment right.
  • 2. Ask for a Lawyer!
    As soon as you can you should elect your right to have a defense attorney present. A Minnesota criminal defense lawyer or public defender can ensure the police do not violate your rights and help you avoid saying anything incriminating during questioning. Caplan & Tamburino Law Firm is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so that we can be by your side whenever you need us. Call now!
