At Kirby Law, we specialize in federal criminal defense, focusing on a range of serious offenses including conspiracy under 18 USC § 371, firearms violations under 18 USC § 924(c), drug trafficking under 21 USC § 841, mail and wire fraud under 18 USC §§ 1341 and 1343, and money laundering under 18 USC § 1956. As a former federal prosecutor, I understand the intricacies of these statutes from both sides of the courtroom. Prosecutors often employ aggressive tactics when building cases against individuals or organizations suspected of such crimes, which can lead to severe consequences if not properly defended. Our approach at Kirby Law is strategic and thorough, designed to challenge the evidence and uncover any procedural irregularities that could impact your case.
The federal government employs several agencies like the FBI, DEA, ATF, IRS-CI, DHS HSI, and U.S. Attorney's Office to investigate these cases. These entities have vast resources at their disposal, from sophisticated surveillance techniques to complex financial analysis tools. It is crucial for defendants to have a legal team well-versed in federal procedures and capable of countering the prosecution’s extensive evidence collection methods. At Kirby Law, our experience allows us to anticipate potential weaknesses in the government's case, whether they lie in search warrant legality, chain-of-custody issues, or inconsistencies within witness testimonies.
One common issue we address is the overreach by law enforcement agencies in gathering evidence through wiretaps and other invasive measures. In such cases, it’s imperative to challenge not only the admissibility of the seized evidence but also the methods used to obtain it. This can sometimes lead to a reduction or dismissal of charges based on Fourth Amendment violations. We meticulously analyze every detail of your case, from initial arrest procedures through trial preparation and negotiation phases.
