Oklahoma Federal Defense FAQ

What clients facing U.S. charges often ask.

  • Where are federal charges prosecuted in Oklahoma?

    Oklahoma has three U.S. District Courts—Western (Oklahoma City), Northern (Tulsa), and Eastern (Muskogee). Your case will be filed based on where the offense occurred. We regularly represent clients across all districts and understand the differences between each venue’s policies and procedures.

  • What does it mean to get a target letter or subpoena?

    It usually means you’re part of a federal investigation and may be charged later. A target letter means the government believes you committed a crime. A subpoena may require testimony or documents. We advise clients on how to respond, protect their rights, and avoid further legal exposure.

  • Are sentencing guidelines in federal court mandatory?

    No—but they’re highly influential. Federal judges consider the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines in most cases, especially for fraud, drug, and conspiracy charges. We work to reduce potential penalties through negotiations, legal motions, and detailed mitigation presentations.

  • Can you represent clients from smaller towns or rural areas?

    Absolutely. Many federal cases originate in smaller counties but are prosecuted in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, or Muskogee. We help clients from all over Oklahoma, including Norman, Stillwater, Enid, and Shawnee. We manage travel, court logistics, and filing requirements from start to finish.

  • What should I do if I’m under investigation but haven’t been charged?

    Do not speak with investigators or agents without legal counsel. Anything you say could be used later to build a case against you. We can step in immediately to protect your rights, evaluate the facts, and start preparing a strong legal response. Early legal action often improves the outcome.
