Federal Criminal Defense

New York Capital District Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer

Federal criminal charges can be much more serious than state charges, largely because of the impact of the federal sentencing guidelines upon conviction. It is essential to work with an attorney who knows federal criminal law and has experience in federal court.

Federal criminal defense attorney Mark J. Sacco is experienced in state, federal and military courts. A former JAG officer, he understands federal criminal law and is talented, persuasive and creative at trial. Whether negotiating with prosecutors or before a judge or jury, he will take every possible step to get you the best possible resolution in your situation.

Our clients come to us from Albany, Schenectady, Troy, throughout the state, and beyond. Contact us now for a free consultation.

We know that the outcome of your case could have a catastrophic impact on your life. We are on your side. Our federal criminal law practice includes:

  • Drug crimes including narcotics trafficking or importation, drug conspiracy charges, large-scale cultivation or manufacturing, racketeering, and forfeiture cases
  • White collar crimes including embezzlement, forgery, bribery, corruption, money laundering, fraud (including IRS tax fraud), conspiracy, and charges related to terrorism
  • Firearms and weapons charges, including illegal gun possession, felon in possession of a gun, possession of explosives, and others

We also represent people who are targets of federal investigations or who suspect they may be under investigation, people who are being interviewed as witnesses, and people who have been named persons of interest in federal criminal or administrative law cases.

Beginning with a law enforcement or grand jury investigation, an arrest, a criminal complaint filed by a federal agency, a federal grand jury indictment, or at any stage of your federal criminal case, we are on your side, protecting your rights. At your detention hearing, preliminary hearing, or bail and bond hearing, we will fight to minimize the impact of the criminal prosecution on your reputation and your life.

We Investigate Every Detail of Cases Prosecuted under Federal Criminal Law

We do not take any criminal accusation at face value. As soon as you notify us of the government’s potential interest in you, we will immediately begin a thorough investigation of all of the facts and the case against you. We will interview any witnesses, closely examine any witness statements to law enforcement, and perform a careful examination of every material fact, including financial statements, documents, e-mails, surveillance, and other evidence. We will determine how the evidence was gathered and, if the government obtained evidence illegally, we will expose it.
