A Lawyer Who Understands the Federal System

There are many differences between state and federal criminal cases, including:
​

  • Differences in jury selection;

  • Differences in bond;

  • Differences in jurisdiction;

  • Differences in penalties; and

  • Use of Federal Sentencing Guidelines

I have extensive experience handling cases at the federal level and navigating the complicated Federal Sentencing Guidelines. If you are facing federal charges, I will put my full knowledge and experience into building your defense.
