Federal Criminal Defense Since 1993
If you have been asked to testify before a grand jury, you need an experienced federal criminal defense attorney. Nearly all federal cases are charged via a grand jury indictment. An assistant U.S. attorney feeds information to a grand jury over time and, when there is enough incriminating evidence, a charge is filed.
If you wait until an indictment is filed, it may be too late.
Attorney Jeffrey DeRoberts handled his first federal case in 1993. At DeRoberts Law Firm, you will be in the hands of an attorney who is effective in federal court and has a thorough understanding of federal laws and the federal sentencing guidelines. Our clients include those charged with drug trafficking, drug conspiracy and white collar crimes.

Federal Grand Jury Defense
If you are arrested by New York law enforcement, it is typically an "on-the-spot" arrest. In a federal case, an agency will spend time building a case against you. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) or the FBI, or other agency, will work very hard to build an airtight case before you are indicted.
An experienced federal crimes defense attorney can help you during the grand jury investigation in the following ways:
- Advise you on whether or not to cooperate with the investigation, and if so, how much?
- Negotiate on the discovery process (prevent a home or office raid).
- Determine whether you are a target or a person of interest.
- Conduct a separate independent investigation.
- Advise you prior to your grand jury appearance.
- Work with the prosecution for the best case outcome, given the facts of your case.
If you are indicted, we will provide the most aggressive criminal defense that we can.
New York Felony Drug Charges Defense Lawyer
Drug conspiracy and drug trafficking are the sources of many federal indictments. The DEA and the FBI have significant resources available to them that allow them to build a strong case. A federal judge has sentencing guidelines that are rather strict, so the punishment may be more severe if you are convicted of a federal crime.
