Federal Charges Providing the Defense You Need

Federal Defense Lawyers in Midland, TX

Federal charges are crimes that violate U.S. federal laws or any statutes issued by federal governing bodies. These criminal offenses are frequently more serious than state-level offenses and carry more severe legal penalties. Furthermore, because it is a federal case, the prosecution typically has more resources at its disposal to use against alleged offenders than state attorneys. To make matters worse, federal courts typically have different rules and procedures than state courts. 

This legal situation can make fighting federal charges seem like an impossible task. However, Wolf, Stallings & Mayo is here to tell you that it is not. The potential penalties and long-term consequences are far too serious to accept all charges or to rely on ineffective counsel. At Wolf, Stallings & Mayo, we believe that everyone should have access to quality legal services to ensure that their rights are protected, no matter what charges they’re facing. Our attorneys know firsthand what it takes to litigate and fight federal charges, and we’ll strive to provide you with effective legal representation all throughout the legal process. 

If you’ve been accused of violating federal law, we invite you to contact our office to schedule a free consultation with our Midland federal defense attorneys.
