Federal White Collar Crimes Lawyers in Savannah
Facing Federal Charges in Chatham County? Time Matters.
A federal white-collar crime investigation can upend your life before you're ever formally charged. Agents may already be building a case against you, and by the time you receive a target letter, subpoena, or indictment, prosecutors have often spent months preparing.
If you're facing a federal investigation or charges, the decisions you make right now can shape the outcome of your case. Johnson Kraeuter & Sanders LLC helps clients throughout Coastal Georgia respond quickly and strategically when the federal government comes calling.
Consult a Savannah federal white collar crime attorney about your investigation, arrest, or charges by contacting us online or at (912) 421-2900.
How Our Firm Handles Your Federal Case
Federal cases move differently from state charges, with their own courts, procedures, and sentencing guidelines. Our team includes Attorney Frank Pennington, a former federal prosecutor who has seen how the government builds these cases from the inside.
We walk you through every stage:
- Investigation response. If you've been contacted by federal agents or received a subpoena, we step in immediately to protect your rights and manage communication on your behalf.
- Case evaluation. We review the evidence, identify weaknesses in the government's case, and develop a defense strategy tailored to your situation.
- Negotiation. In many cases, we work directly with federal prosecutors to seek reduced charges, favorable plea terms, or pretrial diversion.
- Trial defense. When a fair resolution isn't on the table, our trial-tested attorneys are prepared to take your case in front of a federal judge and jury.
- Sentencing advocacy. If a conviction or plea occurs, we advocate for the most favorable outcome possible under federal sentencing guidelines.

Why You Need a Lawyer in Federal Cases
Federal prosecutors have significant resources, including FBI agents, forensic accountants, and federal sentencing guidelines designed to secure lengthy prison terms.
Unlike many state cases, federal charges rarely get dismissed once formally filed, which makes the investigation phase one of the most critical times in your entire case. Without an attorney who understands federal court procedure, you risk making statements or decisions that strengthen the government's case against you.
Having Attorney Frank Pennington's prosecutorial background on your defense team means our firm understands how federal prosecutors evaluate cases, build evidence, and approach negotiations.
That insight allows us to anticipate the government's strategy and respond accordingly, rather than simply reacting to it.
