When dealing with criminal charges in Odessa, the defense strategy you choose determines the outcome. Setra Law Firm, PC brings comprehensive experience handling Texas state misdemeanors and felonies, as well as federal cases involving FBI and DEA investigations. Pre-indictment intervention often prevents formal charges from being filed, while trial preparation ensures you're protected at every stage.

West Texas prosecutions move quickly, and law enforcement agencies coordinate across jurisdictions. Whether facing state-level offenses or federal investigations, you need representation that understands both systems and can identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case before evidence solidifies.

Pre-Indictment Strategy and Complex Litigation

Federal charges carry mandatory minimums and enhanced sentencing guidelines that differ significantly from state court. The firm handles cases involving drug trafficking, firearms offenses, white-collar crimes, and conspiracy charges where multiple agencies build cases over months or years. Early intervention during the investigative phase can result in charges being dropped or reduced before indictment.

State charges in Odessa range from assault and theft to more serious felonies. Each case requires examining arrest procedures, witness statements, and physical evidence for constitutional violations or procedural errors. Trial preparation includes depositions, expert witnesses, and motion practice designed to exclude unreliable evidence.
