Federal Crimes

Kent-Seattle, Washington Federal Crimes Attorneys

Federal investigators have a number of investigative resources available to them when investigating federal crimes. Depending on the charges involved, wiretaps, surveillance, monitoring of computer and banking activity, and informants may be used. As a result, federal investigations involve months if not years and seldom involve mistakes or sloppy work.

Additionally, federal prosecutors almost always introduce a charge of conspiracy in order to gain greater investigative prerogative into the alleged criminal misdeeds of a criminal organization. Once a charge of conspiracy is introduced, the hearsay rules that prevent out of court statements from being introduced at trial are subject to the co-conspirator exception that allows such statements to be used. Others making plea bargains with federal prosecutors may claim you are guilty of crimes you did not commit or are only partially responsible for, based on hearsay and a self-interested motive to avoid a stiff sentence. At the Law Offices of James Newton, PLLC, our lawyers intervene immediately on our client's behalf in discussions with federal prosecutors, ensuring an investigation doesn't simply end with hearsay allegations.

Consider the legal options available to you while working with a team of attorneys who can pre-empt investigations that assume you are guilty without gathering all the facts.
