Tempe’s proximity to Arizona State University and its growing technology sector make it a focus area for federal investigations involving cybercrime, intellectual property theft, drug distribution, student loan fraud and financial crimes. The FBI, Secret Service and Department of Commerce all conduct active investigations targeting Tempe residents and businesses.

ASU students and faculty face unique risks. Federal charges for drug distribution near a university carry enhanced penalties. Computer fraud charges can arise from activities that seem harmless. Research misconduct can trigger federal prosecution. These cases require a defense attorney who understands both the federal system and the devastating impact these charges have on academic careers.

Tempe’s tech corridor has also attracted federal enforcement attention for trade secret theft, export control violations and cryptocurrency-related offenses. If you work in technology and you’re facing federal scrutiny, you need someone who can protect both your freedom and your professional future. That’s exactly what I do.
