Federal and State Criminal Defense Representation in Midland

Protecting Your Rights Against Serious Charges

If you need defense against federal or state criminal charges in Midland, understanding the difference between prosecution systems matters. Federal cases involve agencies like the FBI, DEA, and ATF, with investigations that span months and cross state lines. State charges move through Texas district courts with different rules, sentencing structures, and procedural standards.

Setra Law Firm, PC handles both systems, providing defense for misdemeanors, felonies, drug offenses, white-collar crimes, and violent crime allegations. Pre-indictment strategy focuses on intervening before charges are formally filed, while trial preparation ensures you're ready to challenge the prosecution's evidence in court.

Early Intervention and Trial Readiness

Federal prosecutors in West Texas pursue cases involving drug distribution, conspiracy, firearms violations, and financial crimes with significant resources and multi-agency coordination. These investigations often begin long before an arrest, making early legal representation critical. Challenging subpoenas, negotiating with federal agents, and analyzing electronic evidence can prevent indictment or lead to reduced charges.

State charges in Midland require equally aggressive defense. From DWI and assault to theft and drug possession, each case depends on the legality of the stop, the reliability of evidence, and the credibility of witnesses. The firm examines police reports, body camera footage, and forensic testing procedures to identify violations of your constitutional rights.

For those facing criminal allegations in Midland, taking immediate action to secure representation ensures your defense begins before the prosecution's case hardens. Get in touch to discuss your situation and explore your options.
