How We Defend You

Our approach to federal criminal defense covers every stage of your case from 

investigation through trial and appeal.

Federal Criminal Defense

We defend individuals accused of federal crimes including fraud, drug trafficking, white-collar offenses, money laundering and immigration violations. We investigate the facts, develop defense strategies, negotiate with federal prosecutors and represent clients at trial.

Compliance & Regulatory Matters

We assist clients in navigating federal laws and regulations to ensure compliance with complex legal requirements. We provide guidance on regulatory matters, assist with investigations and advise on legal obligations in areas such as securities, tax and antitrust.

Negotiations & Plea Bargaining

We engage in negotiations with federal prosecutors to seek favorable outcomes. This may involve negotiating plea bargains where an agreement is reached for reduced charges or sentencing in exchange for a guilty plea when it serves our client's best interests.

Appeals & Post-Conviction

If you have been convicted in federal court, we can evaluate your case for potential appeal or post-conviction relief. We identify legal errors, constitutional violations and sentencing issues that may warrant a new trial or reduced sentence.
