Money Laundering & Financial Crimes

FAQs

  • Why should I hire a lawyer for a federal crime?

    Federal cases involve grand juries, strict discovery rules, and mandatory-minimum statutes. A specialist ensures no procedural misstep costs you your freedom.

  • How do federal penalties differ from state sentences?

    Federal sentencing guidelines and mandatory-minimums often impose longer prison terms, higher fines, and supervised release. We leverage every available mitigating factor.

  • Will you negotiate with the U.S. Attorney’s Office?

    Yes. Our history in federal prosecutions lets us engage early—often securing charge reductions, “down-tier” plea deals, or even non-prosecution agreements.

  • Do I have to appear in person for every hearing?

    Not always. We handle many pre-trial motions and status conferences remotely when courts permit, saving you unnecessary travel and stress.
