Federal Defense Lawyer in Chesterton, IN
Defending Against Federal Crime Charges in Indiana
Federal investigations tend to be lengthy, as federal law enforcement may gather evidence for a long period of time before a suspect is charged. Facing charges in the federal court system is extremely intimidating. You need a Chesterton federal defense attorney with experience defending clients charged with federal crimes in Porter County. The Law Office of Adam Tavitas represents clients in Chesterton, IN and surrounding areas in state and federal court throughout the state of Indiana.

Understanding The Federal Justice System
The federal government may choose to prosecute a case in federal court, rather than state court for a variety of reasons. This decision is often influenced by a variety of factors, such as large criminal enterprises, the type of criminal activity, and criminal activity that crossed state lines.
Charges are often filed in federal court for:
- Embezzlement
- Fraud
- RICO
- Drug manufacturing and trafficking
- Firearms offenses and ATF violations
- Child pornography
The stakes could be higher when facing charges in federal court compared to state court. Due to the sentencing guidelines there can be less room for negotiation. Because the system differs from state courts, it is important to hire an experienced federal crimes lawyer in Porter County when you are facing charges in federal court.
Know What to Expect
The federal system can be complex, and facing federal charges can be overwhelming and frightening. As a Chesterton federal defense attorney with more than 20 years of experience, I work to help clients avoid charges or have the charges reduced or dropped.

"He got the charges reduced, great communication, and cares about the case he is taking on."He got the charges reduced, great communication, and cares about the case he is taking on. Never had to talk to a receptionist and wait on a call back since he gave his personal work phone number (being able to text/call) and got back as soon as he was able to. Very happy we came across him, not many compassionate lawyers out here that cares like he does. Will definitely recommend and hire again if needed!- Heather H.

"Very Impressed!"We recently hired Mr Tavitas to represent our son for a marijuana citation in Porter County. From our first phone call, it was clearly evident that he genuinely cared about our sons case. He was very upfront about the prospects of the case, the steps he would take and the approximate cost to us, which was very fair and reasonable. Mr Tavitas is incredibly accessible. If he misses your call, you will be getting a return call in a very short time. Being kept informed of everything going on in our case was very important to us and he delivered! Highly recommend Mr Adam Tavitas!- Carol D.
