Best Federal Criminal Defense Attorney in California

Facing federal criminal charges is one of the most serious legal challenges anyone can experience. Federal cases often involve extensive investigations, complex laws, and aggressive prosecution by agencies such as the FBI, IRS, ATF, ICE, or the Secret Service. If you are accused of violating U.S. federal laws, the stakes are high—prison time, steep fines, and a permanent criminal record are all on the line.

At Kareem Law APC, our Federal Criminal Defense lawyers provide aggressive representation from the moment you learn you are under investigation. Early intervention is critical to protect your rights, challenge unlawful investigative tactics, and build a strong defense before formal charges are even filed.

Why Hire an Experienced Federal Criminal Defense Attorney?

Federal cases are not the same as state criminal cases. They often involve years of investigative work, massive amounts of evidence, and prosecutors with significant resources. Not every lawyer is admitted to practice in federal court, and even fewer have extensive trial experience at the federal level.

Kareem A. Ramadan is admitted to all four United States District Courts in California—Northern, Eastern, Central, and Southern. As an accomplished Federal Criminal Defense Attorney, he has handled complex and high-profile cases with skill, discretion, and a deep understanding of federal law.

Whether your charges involve white-collar crimes, drug trafficking, cybercrimes, or violent federal offenses, we are prepared to defend you at every stage of the process.

Dual Sovereignty and Double Jeopardy

Many defendants mistakenly believe they cannot be prosecuted twice for the same offense. However, under the legal principle of dual sovereignty, both state and federal governments can prosecute the same act separately. This means you could face two trials and potentially back-to-back sentences.

If your case has the potential to move from state court to federal court, securing a skilled Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer immediately is essential to minimize risk and prepare for all possible outcomes.

Common Federal Charges We Defend

Our Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys handle cases in Riverside, San Bernardino, and across California, including:

  1. Bank robbery

  2. Wire fraud & mail fraud

  3. Money laundering

  4. Organized crime & racketeering (RICO)

  5. Terrorism & national security cases

  6. Espionage

  7. Cybercrimes

  8. Human trafficking

  9. Child pornography charges

  10. Hate crimes

  11. Federal property crimes

  12. Major theft cases, including art & jewelry theft

We also defend clients in complex white-collar investigations and charges that cross state or national borders.

Building a Strong Federal Criminal Defense

Federal prosecutions are methodical and evidence-driven, which means your defense must be equally strategic. Our process includes:

  1. Immediate legal intervention to protect your rights.

  2. Thorough review of all evidence to identify weaknesses in the government’s case.

  3. Development of a tailored defense strategy based on your circumstances.

  4. Negotiation with prosecutors when beneficial, or aggressive trial representation when needed.

California Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer

Federal judges are frequently more stringent than state-level judges, issuing harsh sentences without the possibility of parole. Therefore, it is prudent to retain federal defense attorneys who are willing to fight for a favorable outcome, even if it means enduring a lengthy trial.

 We defend clients facing grand jury investigations and serious felony charges associated with white-collar crimes, complex crimes, capital murder cases, drug trafficking, DUI/DWI cases on federal land, sex crimes crossing state borders, and securities fraud. Our attorneys practice criminal trial and appellate law in every state and federal court in California and across the nation.

What Is a Federal Crime?

Some state crimes, such as sexual assault and murder, become federal crimes when they are committed on federal land or when the perpetrator crosses state lines in relation to the crime. Other crimes, such as drug trafficking involving large quantities of controlled substances, are classified as federal crimes based on the severity of the allegations.

 The attorneys at Kareem Law APC are committed to resolving your matters with a thorough, client-centered approach, whereas the majority of attorneys seek to resolve cases as quickly as possible. We will devote the necessary time and resources to obtaining a “not guilty” verdict.

 Certain types of criminal activity, such as international money laundering and immigration-related crimes, are always federal in nature. The FBI listed federal crimes they investigate, including but not limited to the following:

Questions To Ask When Choosing Your Criminal Defense Attorney

There are three main ways in which a federal criminal case can be resolved: the charges can be dismissed, the prosecution and defense can negotiate a plea bargain, or the case can proceed to trial.

Winning a case against federal prosecutors is challenging, and it can be tough to build a strong case in your defense. However, with help from an experienced criminal defense lawyer, beating a federal drug conspiracy charge is possible.

Bank robbery, illegal immigration, drug trafficking, embezzlement, and the assassination of executive officials are all examples of federal crimes.

I was faced with a case that never in my life I’d imagine to be dealing with that could’ve had detrimental effects on my life and career ending. Kareem was the best defense I had to get my life back together. From start to finish Kareem was very attentive, informative and determined to help get this fixed and he did! The case was never filed! Thank you!

I was arrested and was facing 2 felonies in October and spent some time sitting in county jail. After calling tens of lawyers to help I immediately knew Kareem would provide the help I was looking for. He walked me through the entire court process and was very reassuring that I had nothing to worry about. It is a great feeling when you have a confident lawyer behind you. Kareem managed to get my case dismissed and I have no charges on my record now. I don’t think I would have this result if it weren’t for his help. I would recommend him to anyone. He knows what he’s doing and he is the man for the job.

Before hiring Kareem Law I made the mistake of listening to some ads for personal injury attorneys on the radio. I did not know what to expect since this was my first time needing to hire an attorney. The first office never returned my calls and never connected me with an attorney. I thought attorneys wanted to help their clients not treat them like dirt. I found Kareem's office after a family member told me of an attorney who did excellent work on his personal injury case.
From the first call with Kareem he created a strong relationship with me where I felt appreciated and heard. Mr. Ramadan was always available when I needed answers and did a fabulous job settling my case.

I was very fortunate to have had Kareem as my attorney. From our very first conversation, I could tell he was very knowledgeable and experienced. His empathy and care for my situation, were encouraging and made me feel safe. Kareem was very personable, reachable, and communicated clearly. Kareem put a lot of effort to get the case dismissed and achieve a complete resolution without the additional stress of a trial. I am beyond grateful to him!

Never in my life, did I think I would need a criminal defense attorney. A close family member committed a federal crime and suddenly I was searching for a criminal defense attorney. I submitted an inquiry to all lawyers in the Upland area and I am so thankful that Attorney Kareem was quick to reply on a Sunday afternoon!

The next day, he was already doing a jail visit with my family member. The following day, we were meeting and discussing the case in his office. Right from the beginning,
Kareem expressed his care and compassion for us and my incarcerated family member. He also made us feel very comfortable telling us a personal story of his that made him appreciate nurses, which my mom and I are! This life journey of his, made us feel that he knows the value of life and our family member would be in excellent hands.

Kareem was always available to answer all our questions. If you call him or text him, he will always respond right away or within a few hours. This was an extremely difficult time in our lives and Kareem was always there to ease our minds. When trying to find an attorney who is going to save your life or a close family members, you have to fully trust your lawyer and Kareem is that man. He strongly advocated for my family member and got him released from jail with a mental health diversion. This was the goal from the beginning and we could not be more thankful to Attorney Kareem for the outcome.
