Experienced San Jose Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers

Established Santa Clara County Federal Criminal Defense Law Firm

The criminal defense attorneys at Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel are licensed to practice in both state and federal courts.

We are experienced at handling all Federal criminal cases. Criminal defense attorney Richard P. Pointer was formerly a Revenue Agent for the Internal Revenue Service and is a Certified Criminal Specialist (State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization).

We have been practicing criminal defense in federal courts in San Jose for more than twenty-five years. In that time we have become the largest criminal defense law firm in Santa Clara County.

When it comes to federal criminal defense, experience does matter.

Individuals charged with federal crimes including tax fraud generally face greater jeopardy than those in state court. When possible we work to keep cases in state court. However, when a criminal charge falls under a federal criminal statute, our attorneys are prepared to defend our clients, regardless of which federal jurisdiction the case is brought in.

Among other federal criminal charges we have successfully defended are:

• Murder
• White collar crime
• Drug cases and racketeering
• Postal fraud
• Internet fraud
• Identity theft
• Sex cases including the possession and dissemination of pornography
• Illegal alien prosecution

Often federal cases can be settled through negotiation with federal prosecutors before the client actually appears in court. When that is not possible our federal criminal defense attorneys will aggressively pursue your case in court. If you have been contacted by government investigators, FBI, Homeland Security or ICE, call us before you talk to the agents.

If you have been or are about to be charged with a crime in federal court, contact Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel. Don't let federal criminal prosecution ruin the rest of your life.
