Generally speaking, offenses prosecuted by state law enforcement are charged as federal offenses when they take place on federal property. Federal crimes include offenses which involve interstate commerce and activity taking place in more than one state. Law enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) and the United States Marshalls Service investigate federal offences.

We've Successfully Handled 5,000+ Cases
In many instances, even though you have been arrested and charged with a crime, upon a thorough review of police reports, witness statements, public records (including law enforcement radio logs), and close scrutiny of the evidence, it may become clear that the State will not be able to prove the charge in court. In other cases, it can be demonstrated that the alleged victim has targeted you and has a motive (financial, child custody, or just spite) to make a false accusation. There are many proven strategies which may be employed in your case.
Mr. Shepard has handled thousands of criminal cases and, as a former prosecutor, is able to exploit errors made in the investigation, in the collection of evidence, or in the prosecution of the alleged offense.

“My wife and I found out on a Monday that we needed a Defense Attorney on Tuesday for a family situation. I called the office and Megan quickly contacted Rusty and he reassured us that he would be at court on Tuesday and he would take care of everything. Those words were the most comforting we've heard as this came up not long after Hurricane Michael. Rusty and his office has no idea how much he helped us and how much we appreciate their quick response. Thank you will never cover how much you guys mean to us.”- Craig E.
