Your Justice Is Our Priority

Federal prosecutions are different from state prosecutions in many ways. Federal court has its own procedures and rules of evidence. Some federal charges trigger mandatory minimum penalties. Many of those charges cannot be pled down to lesser offenses and that often influences the defense strategy. Perhaps most importantly, federal prosecutors and law enforcement officers are very deliberate in gathering evidence. Before seeking an indictment from a grand jury, the government may spend months building its case. By the time an indictment is handed down, the defendant may have very few reasonable options.

A Proactive Defense Is Critical When Facing Federal Allegations

Whenever possible, you should hire a lawyer before an indictment. In fact, as soon as you know you are under investigation, you should hire an attorney. Before a grand jury hands down an indictment, we might be able to show the government why it should not bring charges. Our legal team has relationships with people at all levels of the federal justice system, from DEA agents and federal prosecutors to judges and probation officers. We will work to make sure that you know what to expect so you are not blindsided. We will go on the offensive to get out in front of the charges and, if possible, we will try to get the charges altered. That aggressive approach could impact your outcome.

Even if the government decides to proceed, by hiring our law firm early in the process, we will be better prepared to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your case at the beginning. Therefore, we can explore all possible defenses and give you every possible advantage.
