The government has many resources at its disposal and many determined prosecutors seeking convictions. It is imperative that you position yourself appropriately to meet the challenge. We welcome the opportunity to vigorously defend our clients in the face of federal crimes.
Aggressive, Experienced Defense in Federal Drug Cases
We are also dedicated to the defense of federal prosecutions involving narcotics and marijuana. We push back against prosecution efforts to convict clients of conspiracy, distribution, manufacture and delivery, possession or trafficking in drugs that violate federal law.
Are you facing accusations concerning the importation or sale of powder cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin or Ecstasy? Was an asset forfeiture or illegal search and seizure carried out against you, during or after your arrest? What are the motives behind the accusations levied by government “cooperators?” What are the challenges to their assertions and credibility? As with all criminal defense matters, a comprehensive investigation of the evidence against you is of paramount importance. Probing the prosecution's case for impropriety and violations of your rights, we will begin the process of formulating creative strategies and aggressive legal defenses.
Federal Sentencing Advocacy
Not every federal criminal case results in a jury trial. We have a responsibility under the Sixth Amendment to ensure that you know the risks of adverse trial verdict and the potentially complex range of outcomes in a federal sentencing proceeding. This duty to fully inform the client requires frank discussions of the strength of the government's evidence and probable outcomes of a trial.
We will fully explain the now-advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines and the favorable vistas pronounced by the United States Supreme Court's decision in Gall v. Kimbrough and related cases.
We ensure that in the appropriate case, all relevant sentencing factors are presented to the court pursuant to USC§ 3553(e) to advocate for the appropriate “sufficient but not greater than necessary sentence.”
