Houston Federal Crimes Attorney

The Law Offices of Matt Horak

A federal crime is a criminal act that is committed on federal property or that is illegal according to federal law.   Once a person has been charged with a federal crime, he or she will face prosecution from a federal attorney, which is an entirely different scenario than being prosecuted by a state or district attorney as federal lawyers are much more aggressive and eager for convictions.  Additionally, most federal crimes result in serious criminal penalties if people are convicted.  People who are convicted of federal crimes may end up in jail, paying fines, paying restitution or, in some cases, having their assets seized by the federal government.

Asset Forfeiture
When a person has been charged with a federal crime that involves drug charges or white collar offenses, the government may attempt to seize his or her assets.  This practice is known as asset forfeiture.  If a government agency wishes to seize the person’s assets, they must first tell the person or give some form of notification.  The person will then have to respond to the notice in order to avoid having the government seize personal assets such as homes, cars, land and bank accounts.
