Alaska Defense Lawyers · Drug Crimes, White Collar Crimes, Violent Crimes
When the stakes are high, you want the most experience on your side that you can obtain. Attorney D. Scott Dattan has protected the rights of people in Alaska since 1984. We take a mature, responsible and fair-minded approach and use our strong reputation in the courts in Alaska to help clients get favorable results.
Because of our track record in state and federal criminal cases, attorney D. Scott Dattan is frequently appointed to take over cases that have become problematic for other federal criminal defense attorneys. He was also selected to give a presentation about domestic violence to a statewide judicial conference and was invited to participate in an advisory panel for criminal defenders.
Defending Clients in Federal Court
Many of the crimes charged in federal court in Alaska are drug trafficking cases. In Alaska, the possession with intent to sell marijuana, powder or crack cocaine, heroin and prescription drugs can often involve crossing an international border. When the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is involved, you can be certain that the case will be thoroughly investigated. Federal prosecutors have greater resources at their disposal than state prosecutors, and then it is even more important that you have experience on your side.
The types of federal crimes with which we have significant experience include:
- White collar crimes, including mortgage or welfare fraud charges, embezzlement, money laundering, wire fraud and other crimes
- Drug trafficking and drug conspiracy charges
- Federal weapons charges
