Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys in Rhode Island
When the U.S. government comes after you, the fight is different — and so is the defense you need.
Facing Federal Charges? Start Here.
If you've been indicted or believe you're under federal investigation, the clock is already ticking.
Federal agencies like the FBI, DEA, ATF, and IRS don't file weak cases. By the time charges appear, they've already built a mountain of evidence. And the U.S. Attorney's Office is preparing to use it.
At Manosh Payette Criminal Defense Attorneys, we represent people across Rhode Island in serious federal criminal cases. This is not a job for just any lawyer — it requires courtroom experience, deep knowledge of federal procedure, and nerves of steel.
What Makes Federal Cases Different?

Longer prison sentences
-
Aggressive federal agents and prosecutors

Strict sentencing guidelines
