Federal Crimes Defense and Complex Investigations

Federal prosecutions involve vast government resources, specialized investigative task forces, and rigorous federal sentencing guidelines. When federal agencies such as the FBI, DEA, or IRS target an individual, it is essential to find a lawyer who is admitted to practice before federal district courts and appellate tribunals. Aulbaugh Law Firm defends clients against high-stakes federal charges, including white collar fraud, wire fraud, healthcare fraud, conspiracy, money laundering, and federal narcotics distribution. By leveraging his background with an MBA in Finance alongside his law degree, James Aulbaugh conducts detailed evidentiary audits, attacks illegal searches, and negotiates assertively with Assistant United States Attorneys to mitigate exposure before formal indictments are returned.

DWI Defense and Driver License Protection in North Texas

Driving while intoxicated allegations carry severe statutory penalties under Texas law, including mandatory license revocations, heavy fines, and potential incarceration. If you need an attorney urgently after a traffic stop, Aulbaugh Law Firm intervenes immediately to demand an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing and protect your driving privileges. The firm scrutinizes every technical detail of the arrest, challenging the validity of the initial stop, questioning the administration of standardized field sobriety tests, and evaluating blood draw search warrants and laboratory gas chromatography results. From first-time misdemeanor charges to multiple DWIs, felony intoxication assault, and intoxication manslaughter, the practice prepares comprehensive defenses that withstand courtroom scrutiny.
