Felonies
A felony is the most serious criminal charge that can be brought against you. Charges range from felony DUI to robbery to conspiracy to murder. Strike charges are also felonies and can have serious and adverse consequences on your record. The punishment for a felony conviction is harsh and can result in a state prison sentence.
Felony convictions can have other adverse consequences including immigration consequences for non-citizens, the ability to find or maintain employment, and the ability to obtain and maintain professional licenses. Because of the severity of consequences associated with a felony conviction, it is critical to seek the advice of an experienced attorney as soon as charges are filed so that you will be fully advised on the consequences and so that the attorney will have ample opportunity to seek ways to reduce or dismiss the charges.

Federal Crimes
We also practice in federal courts. Federal crimes are different from state crimes in that penalties are often more severe and the applicable laws are significantly different from state laws. For example, a drug-related offense in state court carries a maximum penalty of 3 years but in federal court, that same drug-related offense carries a maximum penalty of 20 years! Because of the severity of the consequences and the different laws, it is imperative that you hire an attorney well-versed in federal law and one who can navigate you through the proper channels while protecting your constitutional rights. We are experienced attorneys who understand the federal system and will work hard on your behalf, including filing motions as necessary to obtain the best possible result on your behalf.
