Federal criminal defense, built on a career of high-stakes representation.

Tamara Crepet represents individuals, executives, and organizations facing federal criminal investigation and prosecution. Her white collar practice includes wire fraud, securities fraud, customs fraud, healthcare fraud, tax offenses, and money laundering. She also represents clients facing drug offenses, firearms charges, and the full range of federal criminal matters.

With nearly two decades of experience in the most demanding corners of criminal law — including death penalty defense, wrongful conviction litigation, and federal criminal defense — Ms. Crepet has represented hundreds of individuals in federal criminal matters. She has obtained dismissals through both motions and pre-indictment negotiations, secured diversion agreements, and achieved acquittals at both the state and federal levels.

Now in private practice, Ms. Crepet was formerly an Assistant Federal Public Defender in the Northern District of California. She represented individuals wrongfully convicted of serious felonies at the Northern California Innocence Project, and served as counsel of record in capital cases at the Fair Trial Initiative in North Carolina and at the Habeas Corpus Resource Center in San Francisco.

Ms. Crepet has built her practice on securing major acquittals, resisting extradition, and advancing novel legal defenses on behalf of her clients. She clerked for the Honorable John T. Noonan, Jr. on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
