Experienced Federal Crimes Lawyer
The Law Offices of Johnny P. Papantonakis provide diligent legal representation to clients facing federal criminal charges. Practicing in state and federal courts since 2001, I know the unique rules and procedures of the federal criminal justice system. I recognize what is at stake for clients facing charges for federal crimes — minimum mandatory prison time, no opportunity for parole, limited opportunity for probation, and other consequences. I provide clients with realistic expectations, and am dedicated to protecting and defending their interests, skillfully and aggressively.
I provide federal criminal defense representation at any stage within the criminal justice process, including during federal investigations, grand jury hearings, preliminary hearings, pre-trial motions, pre-trial hearings, pre-trial negotiations, trial, sentencing, and appeals. I defend clients facing federal charges involving:
- Federal drug crimes, including drug trafficking or distribution
- Fraud, including mortgage fraud, bank fraud, mail or wire fraud, health care fraud, or other fraud charges
- Money laundering, including money laundering charges in connection with other federal crimes, such as drug trafficking, mortgage fraud, or illegal alien smuggling
- Conspiracy, including controlled substance conspiracy (drug conspiracy), alien smuggling, and RICO violations
- Federal weapons, including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, interstate transportation of weapons, and weapons possession in connection with commission of a felony
- Alien smuggling, including illegally entering the U.S. or helping others illegally enter the U.S., trafficking young illegal immigrants into the U.S. and conspiring to sell them for services, immigration conspiracy and other immigration law violations
Being listed as a person of interest in a federal investigation should not be taken lightly. Even if law enforcement questions you about a federal case in which you are not listed as a defendant, do not be mislead by their deceptive tactics — statements you give law enforcement could provide the information they were looking for to turn the case on you or include you in a federal conspiracy case.
For experienced, diligent federal criminal defense representation from an attorney dedicated to your interests, contact the Law Offices of Johnny P. Papantonakis and schedule your initial consultation with a federal crime lawyer. Initial consultations are free of charge.
