At Murphy & Price LLP, we know that facing charges in federal court is a vastly different experience from navigating the state system. Federal jurisdiction often arises when crimes involve federal property, such as military bases like Fort Carson, or cross state lines. Because these cases are investigated by agencies with immense resources, it is critical to understand the nuances of federal criminal defense immediately.

The Power of Federal Agencies

When you are under investigation by the FBI, DEA, or other federal bodies, you are up against a system designed to secure convictions. These agencies spend months or even years building a case before an arrest is ever made. We understand the tactics they use and how to counter them effectively to protect your rights from the very start of an investigation.

Mandatory Minimum Sentencing

One of the most daunting aspects of the federal system is the prevalence of mandatory minimum sentences. Federal sentencing guidelines are rigid and often result in significantly harsher penalties than similar state charges. Our team of experienced federal lawyers works tirelessly to challenge the prosecution’s narrative, aiming to mitigate these potential consequences through strategic plea negotiations or aggressive trial defense.

The Necessity of Specialized Defense

Because the rules of procedure and evidence in federal court are unique, a general criminal defense attorney may not be equipped to handle these high-stakes cases. You need counsel intimately familiar with the local federal magistrates and district judges. At Murphy & Price LLP, we bring that specific expertise to every case we handle to ensure your side of the story is heard.

Protecting Your Future

A federal conviction can have life-altering consequences, affecting your freedom, career, and reputation. We believe that every client deserves a robust defense, regardless of the charges against them. We delve deep into the evidence to find weaknesses in the government’s case, ensuring that our federal lawyers leave no stone unturned.
