PRACTICE AREAS

Federal Criminal Defense

Federal investigations move quickly and carry serious consequences. We represent individuals and organizations facing federal investigations and charges across the United States, including matters involving fraud, public corruption, drug conspiracies, and regulatory offenses. We understand how federal investigations begin, how they develop, and how they end.

Texas Criminal Defense

We defend clients in felony and misdemeanor cases in Texas state courts, with a primary focus on Travis County, Hays County, Williamson County, and surrounding jurisdictions. Whether you are under investigation, have been arrested, or have already been charged, we provide experienced and strategic defense.

Administrative & Regulatory Enforcement

Not every government investigation begins with criminal charges. We represent individuals and organizations responding to enforcement actions brought by regulatory agencies, such as OSHA, U.S. EPA, and DEA Diversion, under each agency's respective authority.

Internal Investigations

Organizations sometimes need independent counsel to examine allegations of misconduct or compliance failures. We conduct internal investigations involving regulatory issues, workplace misconduct, employee complaints, and potential compliance violations, providing clear findings, practical guidance, and employee training.

Whistleblower Representation

We represent whistleblowers reporting misconduct and organizations responding to whistleblower allegations. These matters often arise under federal statutes such as Section 11(c) of the OSH Act, the Surface Transportation Assistance Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and other programs designed to encourage the reporting of fraud or regulatory violations.

We are ready to help you.

About Collins Lamm PLLC

Choosing the Right Lawyer

What are the most important criteria for choosing a lawyer to help you? If it were me, I would want a lawyer who:


  • is available when I call
  • listens and understands my concerns
  • takes the time to explain legal concepts
  • has real experience in the areas where I need help


That’s it. Really.


On many law firm websites, lawyers talk about where they went to school, the awards they’ve won, and the professional groups they belong to. All of that may be true and impressive, but most people looking for a lawyer do not know what those organizations mean—and frankly, they don’t care. Those lists are mostly written for other lawyers.


Speaking Directly to You

So let me speak directly to you—the person who needs legal help.


  • You will be able to reach me when you need me. You will have my personal cell phone number.
  • I will listen to you and your family when you explain what you are worried about.
  • I will take the time to explain the legal issues and your options clearly.
  • I am a former federal prosecutor who has handled serious cases in many different areas of the law.


The Consultation

If you would like to speak with me, use the consultation feature on this website to schedule an appointment. The consultation is not free. You will pay a fee for that meeting. During that time, we will talk about the facts, the key legal issues, and the possible paths forward in your case. After an hour together, you will know whether I am the right lawyer to help you.


That is the best way to choose a lawyer.


For over two decades, I have been handling serious federal investigations and prosecutions. If you are ready to talk, then schedule a consultation.
