Federal Criminal Defense Motion and Legal Issues Lawyer
I am available to aid other lawyers in preparing a defense in a federal criminal case. I provide thorough and insightful advice on both pre-trial motions and the legal aspects of a case. Needless to say, a case does not always end with an acquittal at trial. However, I can develop legal issues and possible points of appeal by participating early in the preparation of the case. This will afford your client every advantage in the appellate process if he or she is found guilty.
I work closely with lead trial counsel in each case to ensure that I understand every aspect of the defense. My 30 years of experience as an appellate lawyer for the U.S. Department of Justice has afforded me an extensive knowledge of appeals and keen insight into how the government will attempt to counteract your defense. My ability to frame legal issues early can have a significant impact on the ultimate outcome of your client's case, either at trial or on appeal. Contact me to learn more about how I can help you defend your client in a complex criminal prosecution.
I assist lawyers with the following pre-trial and trial issues:
- Pre-trial motions, including motions to dismiss the indictment, suppress evidence, or for severance
- Pre-trial and mid-trial mandamus actions in the courts of appeals
- Instructions and post-trial motions
If you are a lawyer facing difficult legal issues in a complex criminal prosecution, I am happy to assist you, both at trial and to lay the basis for a successful appeal, if necessary.
