Serious Criminal Defense throughout the State of Texas

Federal Criminal Lawyer John T. Floyd III is an experienced criminal defense attorney dedicated to defending individuals and businesses accused of committing serious crimes in all Federal Criminal Courts in Houston, the State of Texas and the United States.

John T. Floyd is an experienced and dedicated Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer who adamantly believes in the rights of all individuals to have equality and justice under the law and vigorously fights to assure these most valuable rights are protected.

John Floyd’s entire career has been dedicated exclusively to criminal defense work. He has never been a prosecutor, has never worked for the government and has never put any one in prison.

Although the John T. Floyd Law Firm’s principal office is on the 70th floor of the JPMorgan Chase Tower in Houston, Texas, Mr. Floyd proudly represents clients charged with serious federal criminal offenses before Federal Criminal Courts in Houston, Galveston, Beaumont, Victoria, Austin, San Antonio, Waco, Dallas, Ft. Worth, El Paso, Brownsville, Mc Allen, Midland / Odessa, Tyler, Lufkin, Marshall, Texarkana, Sherman, Paris, Wichita Falls, Del Rio, Pecos, Corpus Christi, Abilene, San Angelo, Lubbock, Amarillo, Laredo, and all federal courts throughout the United States of America.

The Federal Government is increasingly prosecuting criminal conduct before federal courts that was traditionally charged and litigated as state crime. This often means increased terms of imprisonment and a longer time incarceration before release. In addition, the federal government has made it increasingly difficult for well intentioned and law abiding individuals to follow the law as many businesses and activities are heavily regulated under complex and often confusing laws.

To exacerbate this situation, some federal law enforcement officials have hidden agendas and prejudices that do not necessarily involve truth or justice.

The Federal Government and its law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, DEA, ATF, Secret Service, Postal Inspectors, IRS, Customs, ICE., US Marshals and many others, have broad prosecutorial and investigatory powers. If a suspect is investigated, arrested or taken into federal custody by one of these agencies, the likelihood is that the case will be handled in a federal court before a federal judge.

Federal investigations are normally complicated and take considerable time, therefore suspects often know they are under investigation by federal law enforcement officials. It is important for suspects to be represented by counsel during a federal criminal investigation because they can often minimize their criminal exposure or avoid certain charges all together.

Another significant difference with federal prosecutions is that Sentencing is done exclusively by federal judges, who are guided by the United States Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which although now advisory, can be very tough with much less real opportunity for probation or parole, if ultimately sentenced.

Under the existing Federal Criminal Code, the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the federal criminal legal process has become very complex with penalties that are extremely harsh and unforgiving. Starting immediately with the initial investigation and continuing through trial and appeal, an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer can guide the accused through this potentially dangerous process, while forcing the federal government to follow the law. Each step along the federal criminal process requires an experienced federal criminal lawyer to develop a specifically designed plan to avoid the pitfalls into which criminal defense lawyers inexperienced in federal court might fall.

Therefore, if you suspect that you are being investigated by federal authorities, it is a serious matter and you should contact an experienced federal criminal lawyer immediately. Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer John T. Floyd, his staff and associates are fully equipped and experienced to represent you in any type of serious federal criminal case.

Federal Criminal Lawyer John T. Floyd will be there with you, guiding you along each and every step. Mr. Floyd personally handles each and every client and never delegates a client or critical hearing to an associate lawyer or paralegal.

Mr. Floyd recognizes that successful legal representation for those accused of a federal criminal offense also includes a lawyer's role as a counselor and adviser, especially when a client has had no previous experience with the legal system and is facing the most stressful battle of a lifetime.

Floyd is dedicated to providing aggressive, thorough and ethical representation which demands everything legally possible is done to defend his client.
