About Federal Criminal Cases

Kansas Domestic Federal Crime and Criminal Defense Lawyer James L. Spies

A criminal charge in federal court brings with it the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence and other serious consequences.

To improve your chances of receiving the best possible outcome in your case, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney capable of confidently and aggressively representing your interests. I can provide you with that high-quality representation.

In addition to my vast experience as a federal trial lawyer, I have a thorough knowledge of the federal sentencing guidelines and recent federal criminal case law. My experience in federal court includes handling criminal cases involving drug charges, gun/firearm possession, bank robbery, extortion, identity theft, and other financial crimes.

I understand the challenges you face when charged with a federal crime. Federal prosecutors build strong cases and are much more prepared than their state counterparts, and the federal court system is weighed against the defendant.

As your attorney, I will candidly present your options to you and explain the benefits and detriments of each choice, from litigation to plea bargaining. I will also explain the prosecution's case and the potential sentence you will serve if convicted.

My knowledge of current case law and experience trying these cases make it easier for me to determine the potential outcome of your case. While defending a client in federal court is a challenge, it is a challenge I am ready to face on your behalf. After all, it is my job to balance things out to ensure your rights are protected.
