Advocating Fearlessly For
Clients In Criminal Law

An Experienced San Antonio Federal Criminal Lawyer

When federal authorities, like the FBI, investigate suspected criminal activity, you can be sure they leave no stone unturned. Getting caught up in an investigation or facing scrutiny – or worse, facing criminal charges – by a federal agency can be terrifying.

My name is Amanda Hernandez, and I am a federal criminal lawyer. As the founding attorney of Amanda Hernandez Law, PLLC in San Antonio, I have dedicated my legal career and practice solely to criminal law. Since 2016, I have been fighting courageously on behalf of my clients, offering compassionate and nonjudgmental legal support. I understand the seriousness of a federal conviction, and I am committed to standing by your side throughout this difficult time.

The Severity Of Federal Charges

Federal criminal charges are incredibly serious and can carry severe consequences. A felony conviction at the federal level can lead to lengthy prison sentences and significant reputational damage that can affect your entire life. As an experienced criminal defense attorney, I defend those facing allegations of the following federal crimes:

  • Drug crimes: Federal drug crimes include offenses like drug trafficking, distribution and manufacturing of controlled substances.
  • Financial and white collar crimes: Examples of federal financial crimes include money laundering, identity theft, securities fraud and embezzlement.
  • Cyber crimes: Federal cyber crimes include hacking, internet fraud, cyberstalking and distributing malicious software.
  • Weapons offenses: Federal weapons charges include illegal possession of firearms, trafficking of firearms and using a weapon during the commission of a federal crime.
  • Federal sex crimes: Federal sex crimes include child pornography, sexual exploitation of minors and human trafficking for sexual purposes.
  • Human trafficking: This includes harboring, transporting, or enticing individuals into forced labor or sexual exploitation.

Federal courts operate under different procedures and rules than Texas state courts. It is crucial to have a federal criminal lawyer with experience in federal criminal defense to navigate these complexities and provide you with the best possible defense.

Federal Allegations Of Sex Crimes

Federal sex crime charges differ significantly from state crimes. The allegations alone can affect your reputation in the community and your future opportunities. Convictions for any sex crime, but especially federal sex offenses, often come with harsher penalties and can have long-lasting impacts on your future. Working with an experienced attorney is essential when you have so much on the line. As a federal defense lawyer, I understand the complexities of these cases, and I have compassion for my clients who are facing these sorts of allegations. I will work tirelessly and courageously to protect your reputation, your rights and your future to the best of my ability.
