Colorado Federal Defense Lawyers

If you are being investigated by federal agents or have already been indicted, you need a Colorado federal criminal defense lawyer with the experience, resources, and courtroom skill to fight back. Federal criminal charges are not like state cases—they are more complex, carry heavier penalties, and are prosecuted by powerful agencies such as the FBI, DEA, IRS, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. At Baker Law Group, PLLC, we provide strategic, aggressive defense for individuals and businesses facing federal charges throughout Colorado. From the moment we’re retained, we take immediate action to protect your freedom, your future, and your reputation.

Why You Need a Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer Colorado

Federal cases often begin with a lengthy investigation—sometimes before you even know you’re a target. Once the government moves forward with charges, the penalties are steep and the process moves quickly. These cases follow a different set of rules than state court, from discovery to sentencing. If you’re under federal investigation, have received a target letter or subpoena, or have been indicted, you need a Colorado federal criminal defense lawyer who understands how to navigate the federal system, challenge complex evidence, and anticipate the prosecution’s strategy. At Baker Law Group, we help clients at every stage: pre-indictment, indictment, trial, plea negotiation, sentencing, and appeals. Our team is trusted by professionals, business owners, healthcare providers, and others facing life-changing allegations in U.S. District Court.

Federal Charges We Defend Across Colorado

White-Collar Crime

We represent clients charged with financial white collar crimes such as tax fraud, tax fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud, embezzlement, identity theft, and public corruption. These cases often involve document-heavy investigations, forensic accounting, and extensive electronic evidence. We work quickly to challenge intent, expose flaws in the government’s case, and negotiate favorable outcomes when possible.

Federal Drug Offenses

We defend clients accused of drug conspiracy, trafficking, manufacturing, and distribution across state lines. Federal prosecutors often use confidential informants, wiretaps, and surveillance to build their cases. Our defense strategies focus on unlawful searches, weak links in the alleged conspiracy, and mitigating sentencing exposure under federal guidelines.

Healthcare Fraud

We defend doctors, pharmacists, and healthcare professionals accused of Medicare or Medicaid fraud, illegal kickbacks, upcoding, false billing, and violations of the False Claims Act. These cases can trigger both civil and criminal exposure, and often involve federal agencies such as HHS and the DOJ.

Securities and Investment Fraud

We represent clients investigated by the SEC and DOJ for insider trading, securities fraud, Ponzi schemes, and investment fraud. These cases often involve parallel regulatory and criminal investigations. We defend clients early in the process to minimize public exposure and seek resolution before indictment.

Cybercrime and Internet Offenses

We handle federal charges involving computer crimes, including hacking, online fraud, data theft, identity fraud, and cryptocurrency-related offenses. These cases are often highly technical and rely on forensic evidence that we know how to evaluate and challenge.

RICO and Racketeering

We defend individuals accused under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. These complex cases often involve allegations of enterprise activity, conspiracy, and predicate crimes such as drug trafficking, fraud, or violent acts. We challenge the structure of the government’s case and work to isolate individual conduct from group charges.

Public Corruption and Bribery

We represent elected officials, government employees, and contractors facing charges related to misuse of public office, bribery, election violations, and procurement fraud. Our team handles these cases with discretion and precision to minimize reputational damage and legal risk.

Federal Firearms Offenses

We defend against charges related to unlawful possession of firearms, weapons trafficking, and violations of the National Firearms Act. Many of these cases involve alleged connections to other crimes or prior convictions. We investigate the legality of the arrest, search, and charging decisions.
