Federal Prosecutions
|
Defending against prosecution in federal court requires a unique skill set. The federal government typically prosecutes only the most serious offenses, and does so with what can seem to be a crushing investigation and avalanche of evidence. Their resources are vast, and mounting a defense can often feel daunting. Our familiarity with the federal system allows us to maximize resources, focusing on defense strategies aimed at obtaining results.
Where possible, our advocacy begins before indictment. We have been successful in helping clients avoid prosecution or negotiate lesser charges. We litigate motions to dismiss or to suppress evidence and counsel clients as they evaluate whether it is time to make a deal or time to fight. When a decision is made to fight, we bring superior trial skills to the battle. In cases where the decision is made to plead guilty, we help our clients avoid mandatory and/or lengthy sentences and conduct our own thorough pre-sentence investigations utilizing experts, if necessary, to prepare our own sentencing memorandum. We have considerable success in convincing judges to depart from guideline sentences and show leniency to our clients. Although facing the federal government without a skillful attorney is daunting, our experience and knowledge levels the playing field. |
