Federal Crimes & Investigations

Federal criminal charges can be much more serious than state charges, largely because of the impact of federal sentencing guidelines upon conviction and the fact that most cases are investigated for months or years before an arrest is made. It is essential to work with a New York federal criminal defense lawyer who knows federal criminal law and has experience in federal court.

As soon as you notify us of the government’s potential interest in you, we will immediately begin a thorough investigation of all of the facts and the case against you. We will interview any witnesses, closely examine any witness statements to law enforcement, and perform a careful examination of every material fact, including financial statements, documents, e-mails, surveillance and other evidence.

We will thoroughly analyze the federal sentencing guidelines and will be at your side as you meet with probation for any pre-sentence investigation.
