Case Results

Federal Criminal Defense Success Stories

I've put some case results here of some of the cases that I've done over the years. It's just a small sampling. Really, I think the best way to try is to choose an attorney. Looking at the cases that they've done, it's either call the attorney and talk to them about your case, let them know what happened, give him some factual background, and then they can let you know if that's the type of case they handle and if they've handed one of those cases before.

A lot of times, I like to do a comparison where the case is resolved from the case that I've done and then compare it to your case. This kind of gives you a feel for how everything was dealt with, what strategies I use, and some ideas on what strategies I might be able to use in your case.

Of course, all cases and people are different. So, you can't just take some cookie-cutter approach. You really have to look at the case, the facts, and, I think, importantly, the person. Look at your client. Get their version of events, and then you can really put together a game plan moving forward.

Developing a Defense Strategy

I've done many trials — probably over two hundred — over the last twenty-five years. I've been to, I believe, twenty different states on federal cases. I've handled all sorts of different hearings, contested issues related to my clients and I've strategized. Since I've been in my twenties, I've been strategizing criminal defense cases.

I started dealing with the DA's office in East Los Angeles in the early 1990s, and I worked for a Superior Court judge, in 1994, I hung up my shingle and became my own criminal defense attorney handling cases. I think I have a pretty good reputation in the community.

I get good case results for my clients because I will do whatever it takes to get the right result, fight for my clients, and really try to get a feel for what the clients need in the case—what their future is and what aspirations they have.

You have to try to get that across to the judge and the prosecutor and let them know that yeah, something bad happened here. Still, there's always another side to the story, and if you don't tell that as a criminal defense attorney, then there's no way that the judge and the prosecutor are going to show mercy and have sympathy for your client. So that's one crucial thing that I do, and that's why I put these case results here. I'm willing to talk to you about your case and get a feel for what I think you're looking at — what the parameters are.

Most people want to know the worst-case scenario, and I'll tell them. But I'll also tell them the best-case scenario and, realistically, what's likely to happen based on their particular set of circumstances.

So, pick up the phone. Make the call now. Let's talk about your case. Let's get an idea of what makes sense for you and your circumstances so we can get you out of the criminal justice system as fast as possible, move in the right direction, and get you a case result that will put you in the best position, protect your reputation, protect your rights, and protect your freedom.

Executing Defense Strategy

Over the years, we have successfully defended many clients charged with federal criminal defense cases. There are a couple of realistic paths that a person can take when they are charged with a federal crime:

1) Cases where a person is innocent and has been wrongfully arrested by the government—in this scenario, the case is set for trial once all appropriate investigations and motions are dealt with. A jury is impaneled, evidence is presented, arguments are made by each side, and the jury eventually decides whether a particular person is innocent or guilty.

In this circumstance it is imperative to have a powerful federal criminal defense attorney on your side. You must have someone that is skilled in the art of cross-examining witnesses and attacking the government's case in a professional thorough manner. Many cases are won or lost based on the evidence…but all too often it is the attorney's ability that wins the day!

2) Cases where a person is guilty of the crime they are being charged with and is attempting to receive the lowest sentence possible. In this scenario, your attorney's negotiating skills and knowledge of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines are all important! With experience comes wisdom.

We have handled many federal cases and negotiated with many of the prosecutors who will ultimately decide the government's position related to your case. Our ability to negotiate a successful disposition for our clients is a talent that has been developed through years of negotiating some of the most serious cases that can be filed at the federal level.
