Federal Offenses

Texas Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer

At the Law Office of Kerrisa Chelkowski, I understand that an effective defense of a federal criminal charge requires a different approach than for a state charge. From my office in San Antonio, Texas, I prepare intelligent, creative defenses for people charged with federal crimes, including federal drug charges, white collar crimes, bank fraud, and other federal criminal charges.

Contact the Law Office of Kerrisa Chelkowski in San Antonio, Texas, today for federal criminal defense representation you can count on.

Defense strategies for federal offenses must take into account the higher level of procedural requirements and case preparation. Federal prosecutors have resources not often found at the state prosecutor level. The federal charges against you may have been filed after months of extensive investigation, giving the prosecutor time to develop a strong case. If you think you are being investigated by the federal government, you should contact an experienced federal crimes lawyer immediately. The sooner you retain an attorney, the more likely it will be to reduce the charges and penalties against you. Cases can be won pretrial.

If you or a family member has been charged or under investigation for a federal offense, contact my office today. When we meet to discuss the charges against you, I will explain the federal court process, how the law applies to your circumstances, and the strategies that will be best for your future.

Federal appeals

Just because you have been convicted at trial does not mean your case is over. I have reversed cases to the Fifth Circuit on briefs and oral argument. If you have been convicted of a federal offense, you have the right to an appeal. If you were originally represented by an inexperienced defense attorney, you may have a legitimate reason to appeal your conviction or sentence. The federal appeals process requires smart, creative approaches by an attorney committed to you and your case. I can provide this level of representation to you.

Pre-sentence investigation

If you have pled guilty or have been convicted of a federal offense in court, there will be a pre-sentence investigation (PSI) into your case. A PSI will include an interview with you, a full review of your past record, and a review of the facts leading to your conviction. The Probation Department will prepare a full report the judge can use in making a decision about your sentence. It is very important to have dedicated legal representation to ensure that the judge has a complete understanding of your particular circumstances and background prior to sentencing. I offer full representation and legal advice for pre-sentencing investigations and at sentencing hearings. I know the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Your future and your freedom are too important to leave to chance. The Law Office of Kerrisa Chelkowski can help.
