Riverside County Federal Crimes Defense Attorneys

The skilled Riverside County federal crime defense attorneys at Wallin & Klarich have been successfully helping individuals charged with various federal crimes for almost three decades. If you are accused of an offense that essentially violates the U.S. criminal code or have committed an offense relating to U.S. government property, then you may be charged with what is known as a "federal crime." Most crimes are state crimes and for a crime to be charged federally, it must involve a violation of the U.S. Constitution or federal statutes.

The U.S. government is increasingly prosecuting criminal conduct before federal courts that was traditionally charged and litigated as a state crime. What this often means for defendants is lengthier prison terms and a longer period of incarceration before release. The federal government is also making it increasingly difficult for law abiding citizens to follow the law as many businesses and commercial activities are being heavily regulated under complex and often extremely confusing laws.

Some of the most common federal crimes you may be charged with include:

• Accounting fraud
• Antitrust
• Tax fraud
• Tax evasion
• Drug crimes
• Internet crimes/fraud
• Mail fraud
• Drug manufacturing/smuggling
• Bank fraud
• Securities fraud
• Social Security fraud
• Medicare fraud
• Import/export crimes
• Possession of child pornography

If you suspect that you are being investigated by federal authorities or if you have been indicted, it is a serious matter and you should immediately contact an experienced Riverside County federal crime defense attorney who is fully equipped to represent you in any type of serious federal crime case.

Each and every case - whether it's a misdemeanor or a felony - is important to us. Every case affects someone's life and we understand that very well.

Federal investigations are normally complicated and take considerable time. It is important for defendants to be represented by a skilled federal crime defense lawyer during a federal criminal investigation because they can often minimize their criminal exposure or avoid certain charges all together. Another significant difference with federal prosecutions is that sentencing is done only by federal judges, who are guided by the United States Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which although now advisory, can result in lengthy prison sentencing.
