When the federal government brings a case against you, they have already spent months—or years—building an investigation using the unlimited resources of the FBI, DEA, and IRS. At Guest & Gray Law Firm, we don’t just react to indictments; we launch a counter-offensive.
Our federal division is anchored by Jeremy Gordon, a nationally recognized authority on federal criminal law and sentencing. While state court is about facts, federal court is about Guidelines, Totals, and Policy.
Why Federal Cases are “Different” in 2026:
● The Sentencing Guideline Mastery: In 2026, the US Sentencing Commission has implemented major shifts in how “Economic Crimes” and “Drug Purity” are calculated. We utilize these amendments to seek downward departuresand variances that Dallas firms often overlook.
● Pre-Indictment Intervention: Our goal is to close the investigation before it reaches a Grand Jury. If you have received a “Target Letter,” we intervene immediately to negotiate with the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
● The Northern District Edge: We frequently practice in the Dallas and Fort Worth divisions of the NDTX. We know the specific “local-local” rules of federal judges in these divisions, which is critical for successful Motion to Suppress hearings.
Our Federal Practice Areas-
● Drug Conspiracy (21 U.S.C. §§ 841 & 846): Defending against massive methamphetamine and fentanyl “purity” enhancements.
● White Collar & Wire Fraud: Navigating complex 2026 fraud statutes involving digital assets and corporate transparency.
● Federal Firearm Offenses: Challenging “Felon in Possession” charges and § 924(c) consecutive sentencing.
● Post-Conviction & Appeals: Leveraging Jeremy Gordon’s expertise in 2255 motions and Fifth Circuit appeals to fix errors made by previous counsel.
● How Federal Sentencing Works—and Why Families Need Experienced Legal Counsel Jeremy Gordon breaks down the “Point System” of federal prison time and how to fight for a lower sentence.
● The HALT Fentanyl Act: New 2026 Federal Drug Enhancements Understanding the permanent scheduling of fentanyl-related substances and the new mandatory minimums facing North Texans.
● Target Letters and Proffer Meetings: The “Danger Zone” of Federal Investigations Why you should never speak to a federal agent without Guest & Gray present, and how a “Proffer” can either save or sink your case.
