Nationwide Federal Criminal Defense

Facing federal criminal charges is one of the most serious legal challenges anyone can encounter. The resources of the U.S. government are vast — and the consequences of a conviction are severe. At The Bonderud Law Firm, we represent clients nationwide who are being investigated, indicted, or prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, or other federal agencies. Our goal is simple: to protect your rights, your liberty, and your future.

Our Approach to Federal Cases

Federal cases are unlike anything in state court. The rules are different. The prosecutors are often more experienced. The penalties are often more severe. That’s why we treat every federal case with the seriousness it deserves:

• Early intervention: We work to engage before indictment when possible — pushing back against investigative overreach and seeking to prevent formal charges.
• Trial readiness: We build each case as if it will go to trial, uncovering weaknesses in the government’s case and leveraging that strength during plea negotiations.
• Collaboration with experts: From forensic accountants to cybersecurity analysts, we bring in professionals who help us build the strongest defense.
• Close client communication: You are never in the dark. We keep you informed, involved, and empowered.
