Being investigated or charged with any Federal offense can be shocking. You may feel angry, upset, or scared. All of these reactions are normal. I have represented over 300 clients in Federal Court. I understand what you are going through. I know how important your freedom and career are to you and your family. With so much at stake, you want a lawyer who understands what you are going through.

That is what I do in every case. I work hard to get the best possible outcome for my client and their family.
All Federal crimes are serious. Federal law enforcement authorities have vast resources at their disposal to investigate and prosecute. Federal sentencing is often harsh. There is no parole in the Federal system. Those sentenced to Federal prison sentences must serve most of their sentence before being released. Federal probation is very difficult to obtain. People under investigation or charged with any Federal offense must fight to protect their liberty.

If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both
I have tried and won different federal conspiracy cases. One defense that works shows no relationship between my client and the other alleged co-conspirators. More precisely, the defense is that my client may have known the alleged conspirators, but he or she never engaged in any agreement with them to break the law. One can know someone without conspiring with them to break the law. One can be around someone conspiring to break the law without joining in the conspiracy. Under the law, Mere Presence is not enough to make someone guilty of participating in a federal conspiracy.
Here are some examples of winning defenses:
I used a flip chart to chronicle their life of lies. I call it the “List of Lies.” My colleagues like the technique. For years, I have been invited to teach other defense lawyers how to effectively cross-examine snitches, Government informants, and cooperating defendants.
