How Our Firm Can Help You

A broad range of crimes fall under federal jurisdiction. These range from various white collar crimes, such as tax evasion or identity theft, to kidnapping, child pornography, drug trafficking, and much more. The exact nature and details of your case will determine the penalties you may be facing; however, all federal crimes are typically punished very harshly and, if convicted, you face serious consequences.

Federal crimes are prosecuted differently than state offenses. Because of this, it’s important that you seek representation from a federal criminal defense attorney, such as Derek Emmons, who understands the process and has experience representing clients in federal court.

At our firm, we offer our clients:

  • Hands-on, one-on-one legal services: You will work directly with Attorney Derek Emmons throughout the entire process.
  • Honest and direct legal guidance: We will provide you with straightforward legal counsel tailored to your specific situation.
  • Over two decades of legal experience: Attorney Derek Emmons has more than 20 years in practice; he knows how to build a solid defense on your behalf.
  • Free consultations and payment plans: We understand the cost of legal representation can be prohibitive for some people; we strive to ease your stress by providing cost-effective solutions.
  • Peace of mind: We are available when you need us; Attorney Derek Emmons is available after-hours to take your call and we provide same-day appointments as needed.

If you have been arrested for a federal crime, you can’t afford to delay. Law enforcement and the prosecution are likely already gathering evidence to mount their case against you. You need a San Antonio federal criminal defense attorney who can mount an equally powerful defense for you.
