Federal Crimes

Federal Criminal Defense – District Of Connecticut

If you have been contacted by a federal agent, whether from the FBI, DEA, ATF, IRS or any other federal investigative agency, do not speak until you have consulted with an experienced Connecticut federal criminal defense attorney.

The Maddox Law Firm knows from nearly 40 years of collected experience that federal agents have a way of starting a conversation that people have a very hard time avoiding or stopping.

When you are approached by a federal agent, it can feel very intimidating. You may feel that you have to speak with them. Maybe you think that you can just have a conversation and work things out. In fact, you may even be in a panic; worried about your freedom, your family, your job and your reputation.

So, you may think that you can talk your way out of it.

You couldn’t be more wrong.

You have a right to remain silent. You have a right to counsel. And until you do consult with an experienced Connecticut federal criminal defense law firm, you won’t know the many considerations and strategies that you must follow.

Federal investigations and prosecutions can take many months and even years to conclude. The extraordinary power and resources of the federal government can produce rooms full of supposed evidence.

You need a law firm with the resources to comb through that evidence and never stand down while defending your Connecticut federal criminal charge.

Connecticut federal criminal charges may include the following:

Wire fraud
Bank fraud
Identity theft
Kidnapping
RICO violation
Conspiracy
Drug distribution, including distribution of cocaine, heroin and other schedule 1 substances

The Maddox Law Firm has been defending these charges for nearly three decades. We are at ease in Connecticut federal courts and just as at ease pushing back against Connecticut federal prosecutions.

  I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Excellent Law Firm—they are always first in mind for basically any legal service you can think of, but most importantly is the high level of professionalism and communication. I recently had a potential legal issue and called on a late weekend afternoon. Immediately one of their attorneys (Jessica) called me back and talked me through everything, and gave me excellent advice. She continued to follow up with me throughout the entire situation and couldn’t have been more pleasant. I highly recommend seeking their advice or counsel…there is a reason their reviews are so high! It is also a huge bonus they have offices across CT, so they really have  great grasp on the laws here and know and understand their community.

  I was referred to The Maddox Law Firm on the Saturday Night of July 4th holiday weekend with a pressing personal family issue.  Matthew Maddox immediately accepted my call and provided me with exceptional advice.  He followed up with me on Sunday AND Monday to make sure my family was protected.  His empathy, guidance and follow up was truly remarkable.  I unequivocally recommend Matthew and his firm to anyone who is looking for a premier family lawyer.

  Matthew went above and beyond! His honesty and focus on my son’s best interest is what did it for me. He spoke to my son in a direct manner and for that I’m grateful. It’s not about the business aspect for him. He cares! From the bottom of my heart… thank you.

  A really good friend recommended The Maddox Law Firm, Inc.  I was very pleased with their compassion and understanding from the moment I stepped in to their offices.  They listened to every word expressed by me and provided such great advice without pushing you to make decisions right away.   I received follow up calls, just to check in on me.  Not once, but a few times.  I highly recommend The Maddox Law Firm if you're looking for a team that's going to go all out for you!
