Experienced Federal Criminal Defense

Federal criminal convictions come with harsh penalties and very serious consequences. If you have been charged with a federal crime, don’t take a chance with a public defender. You need an experienced Tupelo felony criminal defense attorney representing you.

Decades Of Experience On Your Side

I, Robert W. Davis, Jr., have more than 25 years of experience defending individuals who have been charged with federal crimes. I have appeared before the Mississippi Court of Appeals, where I litigated a successful appeal of a manslaughter conviction. I also have successfully litigated criminal law cases in both federal and state courts, making me particularly qualified to handle an array of federal criminal cases, including:

  • Drug offenses: I have handled cases involving drug trafficking, possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy charges, helping ensure my clients receive a strong defense against aggressive federal prosecutors.
  • Internet crimes: With the rise of digital crime, I have defended clients accused of offenses such as identity theft, hacking, cyberstalking and online fraud.
  • Sex crimes: Federal sex crime cases carry severe consequences, and I provide aggressive defense strategies for those facing charges such as child pornography, sex trafficking and other related offenses.
  • Embezzlement: I have successfully defended clients against federal embezzlement charges, analyzing complex financial records to challenge the prosecution’s claims.
  • Murder: Defending against federal murder charges requires an in-depth understanding of forensic evidence and federal criminal procedure, both of which I leverage to protect my clients’ rights.
  • Kidnapping: I provide a vigorous defense for those accused of federal kidnapping offenses, challenging the prosecution’s evidence at every turn.
  • Fraud: I defend clients charged with wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud and securities fraud, developing tailored defense strategies based on thorough investigations.
  • Tax evasion: Federal tax crimes require a deep understanding of financial laws, and I work closely with forensic accountants and tax professionals to develop robust defense strategies.
  • Firearm crimes: I represent clients facing federal firearms charges, including illegal possession, trafficking and violations of federal gun laws.
  • Assault: I meticulously analyze the evidence to build a strong defense to reduce or dismiss charges.

I understand the high stakes involved and work diligently to build strong, strategic defenses tailored to the unique circumstances of each case.

Federal Criminal Defense FAQs

Penalties for federal crimes vary widely based on the nature of the charge, prior convictions and sentencing guidelines.

They can range from fines and probation to lengthy prison sentences. Some offenses carry mandatory minimum sentences, while others allow for judicial discretion.

A plea bargain is an agreement between the defendant and the prosecution where the defendant pleads guilty to a lesser charge or receives a reduced sentence in exchange for avoiding trial.

A Track Record Of Success

If you have been charged with a federal crime, you probably have questions about the length of sentence you may receive or whether you have a defense against the charges. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all scenario in federal court. I will tailor my legal strategies to your unique situation, and thoroughly examine all of the evidence and the details of your arrest to determine if your rights were violated or if there are any weaknesses in the case against you.
