# Criminal Defense & Government Investigations
Halbach|Szwarc Law Firm
## Experienced Criminal Defense When the Stakes Are High
Being accused of a crime can change your life quickly. You may have questions about what happens next, what your options are, or what a charge could mean for your job, your family, or your future.
You deserve an attorney who will give you clear answers, take your situation seriously, and build a strategy around you.
The criminal defense attorneys at Halbach|Szwarc Law Firm represent people facing everything from traffic citations and misdemeanor charges to serious felony and federal cases. We also represent clients in government investigations and other proceedings connected to the criminal justice system.
### Criminal Defense Built Around Your Case
No two criminal cases are exactly alike, and we don’t believe the defense should be either.
Our attorneys take the time to understand what happened, review the evidence, explain your options, and determine the right strategy for your circumstances. Sometimes that means working toward a resolution. Other times, it means preparing to take a case to trial.

## State & Federal Criminal Defense
A criminal case can look very different depending on where it is filed and which agencies are involved.
Halbach|Szwarc Law Firm represents clients in both state and federal criminal matters. Our attorneys have experience navigating cases from the earliest stages of an investigation through negotiation, hearings, trial, and other proceedings.
Whatever the circumstances, our job is to help you understand where things stand, what comes next, and the options available to you.
## Government Investigations
Sometimes you need an attorney before charges are ever filed.
If law enforcement or a government agency has contacted you, you have received a subpoena, or you believe you may be part of an investigation, our attorneys can help you understand your rights and determine how to respond.
Getting an attorney involved early can also give you someone in your corner as the situation develops, rather than waiting to see what happens next.
## Criminal Defense Attorneys
At Halbach|Szwarc Law Firm, we understand that facing criminal charges can be a daunting and life-altering experience. Our dedicated criminal defense team is committed to providing comprehensive legal representation to individuals accused of various offenses, ensuring that your rights are protected throughout the legal process.
