Decreased Sentencing for Client

We recently had success in a major sentencing battle in a federal criminal case.

Our client was not someone you would be fond of, but the harsh sentence being sought by the Government was frightening (over 21 years in prison).

We were able to address some of the “aggravating factors” the Government was pushing in such a way that the Government functionally backed off on their position, resulting in a sentence that half of what the Government was originally seeking.

Even though the client received a sentence of just over 10 years, the client was still very much grateful that we got the sentence cut in half. Not an everyday event.
