Abilene Federal Crimes Lawyer
Elite Defense Backed by Proven Federal Experience in West Texas
Federal criminal cases are among the most serious legal challenges you can face. Whether you’re under investigation, have received a grand jury subpoena, or have been arrested by agencies like the FBI, DEA, or ATF, you need a defense team with unparalleled experience and insight into the federal system.
At Keith & Lorfing, our team includes former federal prosecutors, a retired federal judge, and an FBI investigator, offering you a level of expertise and dedication unmatched in West Texas.
Federal Criminal Cases in West Texas
Our firm provides competent legal representation to individuals and businesses facing federal investigations, federal criminal charges, and grand jury subpoenas involving any crime violating federal law. Any crime that violates the laws passed by the U.S. government, that is committed on federal land, or involves federal officers falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Thousands of federal crimes exist for which you can be prosecuted.
Federal Criminal Defense Services We Offer
We handle a wide range of federal criminal cases, including but not limited to:
- Drug Offenses: Possession, distribution, trafficking, and manufacturing.
- White Collar Crimes: Fraud (bank, mail, wire, healthcare, securities), money laundering, embezzlement, bribery, and identity theft.
- Firearms Offenses: Unlawful possession, trafficking, and related charges.
- Sex Crimes: Child exploitation, possession and distribution of child pornography, and sexual assault.
- Immigration Violations: Illegal entry, overstays, and related offenses.
- Human Trafficking: Recruitment, transportation, and exploitation.

When facing a federal criminal matter, a conviction will involve penalties based on federal law instead of state law. Depending on the nature of the crime and the circumstances surrounding it, those penalties can be severe and may be explicitly defined under federal sentencing guidelines. If you are convicted, your future will be compromised by a permanent criminal record that can make obtaining future employment, housing, financial aid, and more difficult.
