Federal Crimes

Naples, Florida, Federal Crime Defense Attorney

Federal crimes range in severity from a violation of federal gun laws to first-degree murder. One thing remains constant, however. Those convicted of federal crimes face serious criminal penalties, including a lifetime prison sentence.

If you have been charged with a federal crime, we offer a free initial consultation to assess your case and give honest answers regarding your legal options. I have 15 years experience trying cases in Collier and Lee County courts. As former prosecutors, we can anticipate the arguments that will be used against you and prepare a solid defense on your behalf. Contact us if you have been charged with:

• Felony traffic charges (vehicular assault and vehicular homicide)
• White collar crimes (mail fraud, tax fraud, securities fraud)
• Felony DUI
• Child pornography
• Kidnapping across state lines
• Felony drug charges (trafficking)
• Identity theft
• Murder

Working Towards the Best Possible Outcome

Many people facing federal charges may assume entering a guilty plea is the best way to reduce the pending penalties. When advising a client, we won't know the best option until we review all the evidence in the case. If the evidence is conclusive, we may advise you to plead guilty. However, proving the criminal act was possible and proving it beyond all reasonable doubt are two completely different things. We use our experience to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case and work to negotiate a lesser charge or protect your innocence in court. The Federal system is much different than State and sometimes time is of the essence.
