    Federal Charges Defense

    In the event that you are facing charges in the United States Federal Court system, the team at The Law Office of Matthew D. Sharp, is prepared to handle your defense. Our Houston federal attorneys have extensive experience defending cases at both the state and federal level and are dedicated to protecting your Constitutional rights as well as your freedom and reputation.

    Defense of federal charges requires specialized qualifications that unseasoned state attorneys with no federal experience often don’t posses. Federal rules and regulations are different than other courts and the punishments are often much more severe. State and federal cases also differ in terms of how they are investigated and charged. On the state level, the accused is typically arrested and a more extensive investigation is conducted to follow-up. With the federal system, an exhaustive investigation is completed before charges are ever filed.
