Understanding the Legal Landscape in Washington, D.C.
Facing federal charges in Washington, D.C., requires more than legal knowledge. It demands a deep understanding of how the city’s legal, political, and professional systems intersect. We’re not just familiar with federal court procedures; we know how investigations unfold in this uniquely high-stakes environment.
Our team is experienced in defending cases in both the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. We also work with clients responding to investigations initiated by local field offices of agencies like the Department of Justice, FBI, Office of Inspector General (OIG), Secret Service, and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). In DC, it’s not unusual for cases to involve multiple agencies or overlapping jurisdiction, especially when the allegations involve misuse of public funds, corruption, or federal contracts.
Our clients often include:
- Congressional staffers or federal agency employees accused of ethics violations, data misuse, or financial misconduct
- Federal contractors or subcontractors under investigation for procurement fraud, overbilling, or violations of the False Claims Act
- IT professionals and executives entangled in computer crime allegations or federal audits
- Government-affiliated consultants and local business owners facing scrutiny after whistleblower tips or internal compliance reviews
In Washington, D.C., where security clearances, political credibility, and agency reputations are constantly under the microscope, even the hint of criminal wrongdoing can trigger job suspensions, revoked access to government systems, or blacklisting from future government work.
At Guy L. Womack & Associates, P.C., we understand these unique pressures. We help clients respond quickly, protect their professional reputation, and build a strong, forward-thinking defense. This may involve challenging the case during the investigation phase or proceeding to trial if necessary. We’re not only fighting charges. We’re fighting to preserve your place in a city where your name is everything.

Womack & Associates, P.C., we take a strategic, client-focused approach from the very beginning, starting with a comprehensive review of the evidence and procedural background behind each charge.

- Early intervention to engage with investigators and prosecutors before charges are filed
