Frequently Asked Questions

Question

What makes federal court different?

Federal courts have stricter rules, more resources for prosecution, mandatory sentencing guidelines, and no parole. Federal experience is essential.

Question

What if I'm under federal investigation?

Contact an attorney immediately. Federal investigations can last years before charges. Early intervention can sometimes prevent indictment entirely.

Question

Can I get a federal sentence reduced?

Cooperation with the government (5K1 motions) and compassionate release are options. We explore every avenue to minimize your sentence.
