Aggressive, Experienced Defense in High-Stakes Federal Cases.

If you’ve been charged with a federal crime—or are under investigation by a federal agency—you need more than a lawyer. You need a legal team with experience navigating the complexity, pressure, and high stakes of the federal court system.

At Colbath & Sperlich, we provide strong, strategic defense for clients in U.S. District Court, protecting your rights, your freedom, and your future when the consequences are most serious.

When the Stakes Are High, So Is Our Commitment

The federal system doesn’t give second chances easily. That’s why your first step—choosing experienced legal counsel—matters most. Let our law firm protect your rights and fight for the outcome you deserve.

What to Expect in a Federal Criminal Case

Federal criminal cases follow strict rules, long investigations, and higher penalties than state cases. If you’ve been indicted or received notice of a grand jury investigation, the federal government has likely been building a case for months. Don’t wait. You need legal counsel immediately to preserve your rights and control the narrative.

Federal cases involve agencies like the FBI, DEA, ATF, or IRS, and often relate to alleged activity that crosses state lines or violates federal statutes. At Colbath & Sperlich Attorneys at Law, we know how the U.S. District Court in South Dakota operates. We know the prosecutors. We know the system. And we build powerful defenses that start with strategy, not reaction.
