Being the subject of a federal investigation is a frightening experience. The formality of the federal system differs vastly than that of the state court system, and the immense resources available to federal agencies require that federal cases be handed very differently than those pending in State Courts. There are tremendous advantages available to those who — early on in the process, as soon as one becomes aware of a potential issue — retain a seasoned defense attorney who is familiar with the federal law, procedures, and agencies who may ultimately decide when and how someone is charged.
Getting early access to a knowledgable federal practitioner, who can guide you through the process and protect you, is essential to obtaining the least restrictive result. And because of the draconian sentencing policies in play in Federal Court, anyone who is the subject of a federal investigation needs an advocate who can get in early and learn what information is available (and what is not) to prevent the restriction of liberty. Addressing the allegations early, in a federal case, can mean a difference in years. And despite the power of the government, there are many ways in which case anyone charged with a federal crime can avoid the punishments normally associated with such allegations.
