FEDERAL CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT DEFENSE attorney green clark law firm

Federal Criminal & Enforcement Defense Attorney Dallas, TX

For GreenClark, this is Personal.

A federal crime occurs when an individual violates federal law or commits a crime on federal property, while state criminal cases deal with individuals who violate state laws. Federal crimes are likely to carry more serious consequences then state violations.

A federal criminal investigation is much different than an investigation and cases handled before state courts. For example, law enforcement agencies that investigate federal crimes have highly skilled investigators and agents responsible for conducting federal investigations. These investigations can last for months and even longer before criminal charges are even filed.

Since the federal government and federal prosecutors who are conducting federal criminal trials have practically unlimited resources to pursue a case, hiring a federal defense lawyer is necessary for creating a defense strategy focused on protecting your rights and overcoming the allegations.

A federal criminal defense lawyer will be able to advise you what to do and not to do in order to have the best chance at avoiding hefty federal criminal penalties. Quick intervention by a legal professional can be vital to your freedom.

GreenClark represents clients across Texas who have been accused by the federal government of committing a crime. If you are under investigation, have been served with a grand jury subpoena, or are facing federal charges, you can schedule a free and confidential consultation below.

FEDERAL CRIMINAL & ENFORCEMENT DEFENSE

A federal criminal case can be complex. While each case has its own unique twists and turns, the information below should give you a general idea of the federal criminal case process.

Investigation: The case begins with a federal law enforcement agency conducting an investigation into an alleged violation of federal law.

Indictment: If the investigation finds sufficient evidence, a grand jury may issue an indictment, which is a formal charge against the defendant.

Arrest and Initial Appearance: If the defendant is not already in custody, they will be arrested and brought before a federal magistrate judge for an initial appearance.

Arraignment: The defendant is then arraigned, where they enter a plea of guilty or not guilty.

Discovery: Both the prosecution and the defense exchange information and evidence through the discovery process.

Pretrial Motions: The parties may file pretrial motions, such as motions to suppress evidence or dismiss the case.

Trial: If the case is not resolved through a plea bargain, it will proceed to trial. A jury will hear evidence and determine the defendant’s guilt or innocence.

Sentencing: If the defendant is convicted, a judge will determine their sentence based on the federal sentencing guidelines and other factors.

Appeal: Either the defendant or the government may appeal the verdict or sentence to a higher court.

Each part of a case has its own unique considerations. GreenClark is here to zealously defend your rights at each turn.

Jeff Clark was fantastic to work with. Although we couldn’t proceed due to a conflict of interest, his insight was invaluable. He went above and beyond to ensure that my associates and I were well taken care of. His expertise and approach were top-notch, and I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking legal assistance.
Stephen green is the best lawyer Ive ever experienced with, he is a true professional, and excellent on what he does, and what i need help for. I could not be more happier with someone that i call a friend and my lawyer. The guy is a genius!!
Although the incident was a very unfortunate both jeff and his partner where very helpful. and im glad I met them both. They are very good at their job.
Attorneys were very helpful and we were satisfied with the results in the end.
My family Was referred to the GreenClark Law firm after my two sons were racially profiled while shopping as young black men at the H-E-B in Allen. They were never seen shoplifting, however, upon leaving the store they were met with many Police officers and a helicopter after purchasing their items. HEB unfairly and unjustly let the criminal trespassing warning stay on their record with the Allen police department. The GreenClark Law firm took the time to meet with our family and explain in detail what they could do for us to help make wright the wrongs against my children. They were patient, sympathetic and understanding to all of our concerns. Working with the GreenClark law firm we were able to get the criminal trespassing warnings against both of my sons removed. We are grateful for their time and their help. I am Most grateful that my children were not harmed in the incident that I mentioned. I am also grateful for the help that we received from this law firm. Thank you!
Fate put Jeff and Steven in my orbit. And fate could not have been more on point. This is not your typical law firm or lawyers. No phone call or email ever goes unreturned. Their knowledge and understanding of the law is beyond reproach. Professional, personable, competent and caring. I felt protected and shielded just having them on my side. Big or small issue they are there for the client.
I’m an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer. Gaby wrote a complex federal brief for me that was so good that I was embarrassed to sign my name to it. She has an incredible background and great experience in federal law. She was a pleasure working with and I will not hesitate to work with her in the future! Great job Gaby!
Represented a family member professionally and aggressive, we were very pleased!!
Mr. Green goes above and beyond for his clients. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Mr. Green!
Let me start my saying. Mr Stephan Green…….is truly an amazing attorney! No words can express how he handled my son case not only once but twice. He is an amazing attorney. Everyone that has been involved in my son’s case has really been amazing. I know how it truly feels to be in a situation but having him as an attorney makes it just so much easier to deal with. Mr. Green is responsive to all my calls and messages. Like l said words can’t describe the care and work he puts in his cases.
Mr. Green was a court appointed lawyer for my brother, and when I tell you he worked a miracle he was facing up too 20 years federal time and only ending up getting 9. I was In communications with Mr.Green the entire time, I think he may have gotten tired of me lol. But no matter how much i got on his nerves he was always nice and responded to me. He recommended things we should do to help get my brother's sentences lowered. Whenever my brother had questions he answered in timely manner. He was always available if he wasn't in court or and if he was busy he would get back to me as soon as he could. At one point my brother had me ask him if we paid him could he get a different outcome. His response was no matter if you pay me or not I'm going to do the same work. At that moment I knew he was what my brother needed, because most people have the belief that court appointed lawyers want work hard for there client but Mr.Green is not one of those. Even my brothers old lawyer William Cox told me that he was a great lawyer and he was in good hands. So if your in trouble and you need a good/great lawyer Mr.Green is definitely your guy.
Attorney Green has been a huge help to our family.Highly recommend this law firm.
It has been my experience that the Lawyers at GreenClark Law Firm are exceptional. In addition to being great attorneys they are relentless in their defense of their clients. Does your attorney have compassion? Mine does.I'm a very satisfied client!Jeff Richie
Un excelente abogado, me ayudó mucho en mi caso federal, en menos de un año resolvió mi caso, y me ayudó a obtener mi libertad, cuando mi condena era de 11 años, menos las deducciones 7 años,el me consiguió una sentencia de tiempo servido, hice menos del tiempo que me querían sentenciar, realmente se los recomiendo, ya que es un excelente defensor.
Stephen Green absolutely saved my life!! I was facing the possibility of a federal indictment, which felt absolutely surreal. Terrified, I spoke to four other extremely well respected, highly rated federal criminal defense attorneys about my case, yet Stephen is the only one who actually listened and caught the significance of something all others have missed, which he ultimately was able to use to achieve the desired outcome in my case. It was Stephen’s exceptional attention to detail and genuine compassion that truly stood out. He is extremely knowledgeable, respectful, non-judgmental, and really cares about his clients. During this very stressful and daunting process, Stephen was always there for me along the way. He genuinely cared about me as a person and often checked in on how I was doing, I never felt judged and right away I knew in my gut that I could trust him 100%. Any questions or concern I had along the way, he always very thoughtfully responded right away as soon as he could, always the same day. My end outcome was the absolute best possible, so I could not be happier!!Stephen is an extraordinary attorney, but more than that, he’s an amazing human being. He listens, pays attention, doesn’t judge, has so much compassion, and genuinely does everything in his power to fight for you. I know in my heart that if I had gone with another attorney, my life would have most likely been irreparably ruined forever. It was Stephen’s patience, attention to detail, and compassion that ultimately made the biggest difference in my case and got the best possible outcome.The federal system is a beast of its own and most people have such limited knowledge of how it all really works. It’s terrifying and can feel so de-humanizing and overwhelming. I feel so lucky and beyond grateful to have had Stephen’s help. He was very transparent from the very start and extremely honest with me always without any sugar-coating and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. Now having gone through it all, I cannot stress enough the importance of having an attorney who’s attentive and understanding and makes you feel heard and at ease. I had so many questions and at times needed some reassurance, yet I never felt like a nuisance or an afterthought. Stephen always went above and beyond and he’s truly a miracle worker!!Thank you again for everything, Stephen! I will be forever and always grateful for your help
Mr.green did an outstanding job representing my mother. He took her case on very short notice and was able to reduce her sentence by many years. Very professional
Mr Green is a very nice and is able to listen to a person. He is a good lawyer and is able to argue for the defendant and to listen to his clients wishes and family. I am definitely recommending him.

Stephen Green was everything I wanted and more. Honest, professional and attentive every step of the way. He asked questions, and asked me to ask questions. Anything I needed. Always in touch.

I am forever appreciative and grateful.

I cannot say enough great things about Attorney Jeffrey Clark. He is incredibly knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to help his clients. Not only is he a brilliant legal mind, but he also has a genuine passion for helping people. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney. His work is immaculate and he practices law for all the right reasons.
I was facing federal charges and I was under a lot of stress not because of the indictment but because I was not able to find a law a firm whom I can trust.The pressure was building up and Stephen and Jeff came into the picture and took control. For me, they are my mentors and a team of super heroes. They have a very strong background and solid work experience. They are super organized, tech savvy, immaculate, eloquent and empathetic. They have a high stress job but they are mentally and physically fit to take on any challenge for their client. They maintained a balance of defense and offense strategy and helped me obtain a favorable solution for my case.I’m blessed to have them in my life. They motivate me to lead a better life and I’m very thankful to them for their services.
Mr Green represented my son in Dallas and the outcome was beyond our expectations. I highly recommend Mr Green as your personal Attorney!
"I am incredibly grateful for Mr. Stephen Green's exceptional legal representation. His expertise, communication, and dedication were truly outstanding.

Hola a todos que esté buscando un buen abogado este señor Stepen es buenísimo ayudo ami hijo estuvo al pendiente de él se mantuvo en comunicación y sobre todo ayudo a que le redujeran la condena de cómo 20 y luego a 10 y asta que 3 años desde la primera audiencia se miro lo que sabe aser es inteligente y honesto Súper recomendado .
What Stephen did for my brother and the outcome he received in his case felt like it was out of a movie. It is a testament to whom Stephen is. There are no words to express what Stephen did for my brother but a few words come to mind.CARING - From the day I met Stephen and throughout all our meetings, I never once felt like he didn't care for my brother's well-being and the case. He truly wanted what was best for my brother and was going to do whatever it takes to get the best possible outcome with the evidence he had. He did that and MORE! To note, we initially got a consultation with a previous lawyer and he represented my brother during a meeting with law enforcement and was complete trash. I never felt like he cared and didn't take notes during that meeting (Stephen asked). I'm so glad Stephen was recommended by a friend.KNOWLEDABLE - Stephen knows his stuff. He knows the federal guidelines, point system, etc... and how that would apply to my brother's case. Every case is different depending on the evidence but he was on point where my brother would fall under. Stephen's research and knowledge of previous court cases, the criminal history of other defendants, and the ability to combine that with my brother's work/no criminal history in a report to my brother's benefit was an awesome read. I'm leaving out a lot but there was no doubt in our minds that Stephen knew what he was doing. When Stephen gives you suggestions on what you can do outside the case to help, YOU SHOULD DO IT!PROFESSIONAL - If my brother and I had any questions, Stephen was available - text or phone call. He does not sugar-coat anything or tell you what you want to hear.There are more words to describe Stephen and I can go on and on but there's nothing but appreciation and gratitude for the work he did. It was a blessing to have him as our lawyer. As for the results and outcome my brother received, I'm just speechless. During my brother's sentencing, it wasn't only his case that was being seen by the judge but other defendants with their lawyers were there to get their outcomes also. The other defendants' and lawyer's statement to the judge was NIGHT and DAY compared to Stephen and my brothers. Stephen had my brother prepared! The statement from Stephen to the judge was short of amazing. Combining my brother and Stephen's statements, Stephen's report, and my brother following through on Stephen's suggestion outside the case to show he has learned his lesson and giving back to the community, gave him a miracle outcome. My brother in my opinion should have gotten jail time and per the judge "giving you a second chance". According to Stephen, where he fell on the federal sentencing guidelines/prosecutors recommendation and he got probation is UNHEARD of. My brother truly got a second chance thanks to Stephen! Highly recommend him!
I would like to thank the firm for everything you guys have done.. u guys r so amazing .. thank you so much for helping my husband .. u guys went over and beyond what you guys can do ... Thank u for all the hard work.. god bless you guys always..
Stephen was an angel for our family, my brother in law was involved in a federal case that it was looking really bad we knew he was innocent from all the charges, we were looking for a lawyer from the day he got in jail after a weak we meet Stephen he believed in us and at the first meeting we had with him we knew he was the right person to work on the case not only because we felt that really believed in us but because we felt that he cares about his clients, within 24 hours that he started working on the case my brother in law was released free. Thanks for everything Stephen.
Great lawyer who cares about his clients as well as go the extra mile for them. I would love to have him represent me again if I were to get in trouble again, but I'm not. Lol! I would recommend him to anyone who I know was in trouble.
I recommend this lawyer he’s the best he has changed my ways and really did fight for me ! , I’m glad I met him and he was on my case.
As a mother I feel so blessed that Mr. Green was my son's attorney. From the very first phone conversation, I knew that my son was going to be in good hands. He worked very hard and was very honest. Would recommend him to anyone.
From the moment I first spoke to Mr. Green I instantly knew in my gut he was the right choice. I was in a very tough situation where honestly my entire life could have been ruined. For me communication is a HUGE thing and that is something you will NEVER have to worry about from his end he truly cares about his clients he literally works day and night for them. If you want someone who will fight for you the entire way this is the lawyer for you. He is Very knowledgeable and good at what he does I mean his accomplishments and resume speaks for itself. I couldn’t recommend a better guy for the job then Mr. Green. I seriously can not thank you enough. From the bottom of my heart thank you for legit saving my life I’m truly blessed to have had you on my side. I can now move on, pursue my dreams, and live a life with my daughter.
