Federal Criminal Defense

If you have been charged with a federal crime in Florida, it is important to consult with a federal defense attorney who has experience defending clients against federal criminal charges. The federal criminal justice system is a world apart from the state system. The rules and procedures are different. The prosecutors have more resources at their disposal. The sentencing is less flexible. The stakes are much higher.

At PRKR LAW, we have extensive experience in the federal criminal defense. We are led by Richard B. Parker, a Florida Bar Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer with more than a decade of experience defending clients against drug trafficking charges, firearms offenses, racketeering (RICO), white collar crimes, and other federal offenses.

A Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer Knows How to Navigate the Federal Criminal Justice System

An ordinary criminal defense lawyer could have a successful practice for decades without ever having to step inside a federal courtroom. However, when your freedom and future are on the line, you need an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer who understands the nuances of the federal criminal justice system.

One of the key differences between state and federal criminal law is the sentencing guidelines of the federal system. Federal sentencing is determined by a firm set of guidelines, and federal judges have far less discretion when imposing sentences. Your federal criminal defense attorney must have knowledge of these guidelines to provide you with the most effective federal criminal defense representation.

A Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer Who Will Stand Up to the Federal Government

The federal government has virtually limitless law enforcement resources at their disposal. The FBI, DEA, and the IRS are only a few examples. In many cases, a federal criminal arrest is made only after a lengthy investigation that could have taken these agencies months or even years to complete. In the state system, an arrest more often marks the beginning of the investigation.

While the federal system is formidable, you still have Constitutional Rights. You are still innocent until proven guilty. Mr. Parker is a seasoned federal criminal defense attorney with years of experience defending clients against federal criminal charges. Mr. Parker's dedication to his clients knows no bounds.

Mr. Parker has traveled as far as Billings, Montana (2,300 miles) to defend a client in Montana Federal District Court. He will serve as your trusted adviser and advocate throughout this critical process.
