If you or a loved one is facing a federal criminal investigation or formal accusation, you need an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer who understands the federal process, laws and sentencing guidelines. Federal prosecutions and potential sentences are vastly different than most state court prosecutions and potential sentences. Some types of federal charges can affect the ability of an accused to obtain bond. Separate federal districts have different procedures and timing issues. Camille is an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer who has practiced in federal district courts in Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin for over 20 years and understands how these differences in federal laws and federal districts can impact an investigation or federal charges.

Likewise, having practiced extensively in federal district courts in Texas, Camille is familiar with the pace of proceedings in those districts and the prosecutors and agents who are involved in those cases. Camille is also a longtime Spanish speaker, having studied the language from grade school through college.

Experience and expertise matters when hiring a federal criminal defense lawyer. Camille has experience, expertise in most types of federal matters, and the ability to communicate effectively bilingually.

First-Class Representation. I don't know what I would have done without Camille. She was incredibly helpful in keeping me from a dire situation, over an incident that had gotten long out of control. All of my associates who have met her have commented to me on how sharp she is, and how lucky I was...
