Federal Crimes Attorney Joseph J. Colarusso
Former Prosecutor with Over 25 years of Experience

Although more and more activities are being criminalized, and although the Government is granting itself greater power to investigate crime in secrecy in the guise of protecting national security, seldom if ever is there any connection between these activities and the “war on terrorism.” For example, in recent headlines, the Federal Government has attempted to grant itself special powers to enforce laws against methamphetamine under the USA Patriot Act.

In the current political climate, it seems that almost any measure could be passed to “protect Americans” from anything that threatens them. What many changes in federal law have truly done, however, has been to allow the federal government to increase penalties for ordinary crimes that have nothing to do with terrorism.

In such times, you need the best defense possible to ensure that federal law enforcement and federal prosecutors don’t violate your rights.

If you are under arrest on a federal drug charge, attorney Joseph Colarusso is available to take your case immediately. A live operator is on duty day and night to take your call at our 24-hour emergency phone: 203.325.2200. Attorney Colarusso will return your call right away.
