The laws that govern federal crimes tend to be very complex, so it is vital that your lawyer has a thorough understanding of these laws and can interpret them effectively. At LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C., we have a great deal of experience handling federal cases throughout the United States. We appear almost daily in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, and we’ve handled federal criminal matters multiple times in the Western District. The essential advantage of hiring a criminal defense law firm, as opposed to a single lawyer, is that we have multiple lawyers. They collaborate regarding every case we handle and work together to achieve results that a solo practitioner would be unlikely to accomplish.
Experience with Assistant United States Lawyers
With decades of experience handling many cases in the United States District Courts in Detroit, Bay City, Flint, Port Huron, and elsewhere in Michigan, we have worked with most Assistant United States Attorneys in the Eastern District. We have made amicable, respectful connections with the prosecutors through our lawyers’ collective experience with plea bargaining, obtaining dismissals, and taking cases to trial. Their respect for our firm helps us achieve extraordinary results.
You Will Need Seasoned Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers to Represent You
After being charged with a federal offense, you will need a seasoned lawyer to represent you, preferably before the government files a complaint or obtains a Grand Jury indictment. Due to the nature of federal crimes and the virtually unlimited budgets of the various investigative agencies, these offenses are thoroughly investigated before they ever actually make it to court. Federal investigations can take years, and long delays do not mean prosecution or indictment is not forthcoming. Because a federal investigation can take some time, your lawyer must start preserving and protecting evidence that may be favorable to you before it becomes lost or unavailable.
Having a Michigan Federal Crimes Defense Lawyer to represent you during the investigation phase can benefit your case’s future status. It may be possible to stop charges and prevent an indictment in some cases. With a thorough investigation of the potential defenses in your case, we may be able to find facts or evidence that convinces the government to drop a case before it goes to court. We have had multiple clients avoid federal prosecution through thorough and proactive pre-indictment representation.
A great federal defense lawyer will protect your rights and help ensure that evidence isn’t illegally obtained against you. As seasoned federal criminal defense lawyers, we have the skills to negotiate with federal prosecutors to minimize potential charges and will always work tirelessly to get sentences reduced or dismissed. Over several decades, we have achieved sentences with limited or no incarceration, even in cases where imprisonment seemed unavoidable. Obtaining extraordinary and lenient sentences does not just happen; it takes years of dedication and experience to become among the most effective and respected federal criminal defense law firms in Southeastern Michigan.
In addition to prison and employment problems, a criminal conviction can result in losing your driver’s license, changes in child custody, civil lawsuits, damage to your reputation, deportation, and more. We know that you want someone who will represent you like they would their own family member. If you work with our lawyers, this is the care and dedication you will get from LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C.
