Formidable Federal Criminal Defense Representation

Federal criminal prosecutions move swiftly and carry severe mandatory minimum penalties. Unlike county-level charges, federal investigations typically involve extensive surveillance and multi-agency task forces. Serving as an experienced federal criminal defense counsel on the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) panel for the Northern District of Texas, attorney Canez knows how to counter federal indictments. Practice areas include:

• Federal drug trafficking conspiracies, manufacturing, and distribution of controlled substances.
• White collar crimes including bank fraud, wire fraud, healthcare fraud, and identity theft.
• Firearms offenses, weapons violations, and federal felon-in-possession charges.
• Representation during grand jury investigations, detention hearings, and federal appeals.

If you discover that you are the target of a federal investigation, it is imperative to hire an attorney immediately to protect your constitutional rights and safeguard your defense.
