Dallas Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers

When federal agents knock on your door, your freedom hangs in the balance. Federal crimes fall under the jurisdiction of agencies like the FBI, which enforces more than 200 categories of federal laws, and carry severe penalties that can destroy your life.

Cogdell Law Firm, founded in 1988 with more than 40 years of combined experience, stands ready to defend clients throughout Texas from our Houston office, including the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area and East Texas regions.

What Federal Crimes Does Cogdell Law Firm Defend Against?

Federal crimes are violations of federal law that fall under the jurisdiction of federal agencies, distinct from state-level offenses. Multiple federal agencies investigate these serious charges, including the FBI, the DEA for drug enforcement, and the ATF for firearms violations. We aggressively defend clients facing:

• White collar crimes
• Fraud charges such as bank fraud, wire fraud and mortgage fraud
• Federal drug charges
• Embezzlement
• Money laundering
• Health care fraud

White collar crimes can destroy companies, wipe out life savings, cost investors billions of dollars and erode public trust. Our trial attorneys understand the complex federal system. We'll fight tooth and nail against these life-changing accusations.
