I would leave zero stars if I could. Empire came highly recommended from another law firm. Worst referral we have ever received. The Court Reporter showed up late for the zoom deposition and left her audio on the entire time with the tv playing in the background. We scheduled a 2 hour deposition for 4pm and Empire charge us almost double the hourly rate for after hour charges without letting us know there would be an additional fee. They corrected the invoice and when we paid it charged us the original amount of the invoice. I call and get disconnected or voicemail on a regular basis. This company has been very unprofessional and rude. I would recommend another court reporting service for your needs.

Dan handled my felony case with exceptional care and effectiveness. For my case, Dan performed really well at key inflection points, often showing creativity and thoroughness in his arguments. I was left feeling that I had just the right attorney for my situation, and the fact that Dan is highly respected by judges as honest and ethical, played into my very successful result. I can't recommend him highly enough.

These guys have been with me for 7 years through one of the scariest events of my life. Through that time, my case started at the worst spot possible, and over the years of hard work From the team which included Mark, Jeff, and Jake, my case is significantly less scary and difficult to deal with. I left everything in their hands and trusted them with every decision. They guided me through grueling interviews from prosecutors. They kept me feeling calm and safe during my time testifying as a witness. Jeff also always responded promptly to all my calls and texts throughout all hours of the day and the anxiety/Panic filled evenings. During all this time as well I got to stay with my family and live peacefully without fear during the courts work. I could not think of a better law firm for dealing with your criminal mistakes.

If I could leave a negative review, I absolutely would. My experience with Sharman and her team has been deeply disappointing. Despite being entrusted with my case for nearly a year, no meaningful progress was made, and the situation was made worse due to her lack of preparation and attention to detail. Sharman clearly never took the time to study my case, which became evident through her repeated oversights and lack of understanding of critical details. Her inaction and carelessness have left me and my family in over $20,000 of debt. Worse, when I retained a new attorney, they discovered that critical documents—like the initial dissolution petition—were missing from the case file Sharman’s team provided. The contrast between my new attorney and Sharman’s approach is stark. My new attorney is working diligently to fix the damage caused, and the difference is night and day. Sharman’s lack of care and effort has turned my case against me, which no client should have to endure. I share this review not out of anger but to inform others of my experience. Single parents and vulnerable families deserve better than to be taken advantage of. Please do your research before retaining this attorney or firm.

Mr. Mor has been a very helpful and generous soul this weekend. I am currently on unemployment and my unscrupulous former employers decided to challenge my approved claim. Mr. Mor was a cold call and he informed me I did not need to hire him and he spent about 40 minutes counseling me why and explaining some tips. He then had me send over a 40 page document involving the case and gave me another complimentary consultation regarding his thoughts. WHAT LAWYER IN THE WORLD WOULD DO THIS ALL FOR FREE? We had no prior relationship I simply google'd him and he was this kind to me. He specializes in wrongful termination and EDD/unemployment matters. I HIGHLY recommend consulting with this gentleman should a matter arise for you. What a great and caring man. Full disclaimer I had never met him before the cold google call. Sincerely, Mike M.

He was a bumbling incompetent attorney and I got what I paid for - bargain basement. If you have zero issues he may fumble his way through your case. Anything complex and it’s over his head and he’s out lawyered. I got a call from his assistant on another post I made asking what they can do before responding. Not only is he incompetent- he’s keen to blame everyone but himself and his poor skills. Lots of other attorneys to pick from. Don’t waste your time and money with this guy who can’t add up basic numbers.

As a one time client of Mr. Shapiro I found him to be an extremely forthright, intelligent, sharp-minded attorney who’s not only well versed in Federal and State law but represents his clients with the highest degree of professionalism. Mark my words, you can be assured that David is capable of wielding the full power of the law within the legal justice system to ensure his client’s rights are well protected. In my personal experience, he’s one of the top lawyers in Utah and most likely the country when he’s practicing on the Federal level. When I wanted a steady set of hands, a good heart, and a sharp mind to stand beside me in my time of need – I would have been hard pressed to have a better man fighting for my rights than Attorney David Shapiro.

At 57 and having to deal with a few attorneys in my younger years, I didn't like any of them. I would say "I didn't like ANY attorney" because they ALL had the "better than anyone attitude", etc. I ALMOST didn't call an attorney; was just going to Public Defender & plea out because wasn't interested in an attorney just out for the money when they knew the "End Result" would be the same; however, at the suggestion of my bondsman, I decided to call & talk to Josh figuring nothing to lose by making the call. THANK GOD I made that call in May 2014; With 1 question from Josh I realized it was not that cut & dry; AND, I felt he was being honest, not just trying to suck a client in for money! I hired Josh. Since the beginning, I could feel his sincerity with my case. 1st time I can honestly say an attorney (Joshua Rydell) went above & beyond any expectations I ever had!! I had F3 & M1 charges; March 2017 (almost 3 years after arrest), F3 & M1, was amended to M1 only with 12 mos prob & possible off in 6 mos; total court & probation costs will be $318; AND all would have been thrown out due to the warrant if my employment time clocks had been working both days in question. From the beginning I told Josh I didn't want any charges, that I wanted everything just thrown out like nothing ever happened. Haha, right? Josh was thorough, detailed, creative, exceptionally knowledgeable with the laws (AN ASSET FOR ANY CLIENT), and never in a million years did I even expect the AWESOME outcome he got for me. He is even going to file for early release of Probation to get that over in the 6 months, as well as have the records sealed since adjudication withheld. I honestly can't say enough good about this attorney and how he really did save me from what could have ruined me personally & professionally. Now, after I do the probation and we go back, it will be as though nothing ever happened which is just as good as everything thrown out to me. He is VERY reasonable with his costs which is usually unheard of with attorneys, again, Joshua is just different. He has very rare qualities not usually seen in criminal attorneys. I will and would recommend this attorney, Joshua Rydell, to any friend or family member should they ever need representation with the utmost confidence they would receive the ABSOLUTE BEST legal representation possible!! He is truly the best and I thank the good Lord for helping me find my way to Joshua for help. I hope my review helps anyone needing a good attorney find their way to Joshua Rydell as he is by far the BEST CHOICE in criminal defense!!! THANK YOU AGAIN JOSH for Everythint!!!

I needed legal counsel for each of my older teenage boys, both for separate issues within a two year period (2014 and 2016). My first phone call to Wade was a message of urgency I left on his voicemail at 2am one morning because my son had been arrested and was in jail. Wade returned my call by 8am and began working for us immediately, which included visiting my son in jail. He took the situations with each of my boys seriously; he was eager to help and was great with keeping us informed, we didn't feel like just another number. My son's crimes were wiped of their permanent adult record and their probation terms were reasonable as well. His expertise in the law, as well as his personal interest in helping others, gave us great peace of mind. I felt my boys were well represented and as a parent I felt supported.

When I first ended up in my legal problems, I was afraid, confused and frustrated, I found Wade from online and decided to contact him, it was the best decision I ever done in my life! He is extremely confident and knows what he is doing, he told me he never lost a felony case in his long career, and to my expectations I walked away from my serious legal problems ( 11 felonies) . I tried other lawyers before, but no one ever like Wade. He gave me his personal cell phone, always answers or texts back. He actually cares about his clients like family! If it wasn't for Wades hard work and determination I wouldn't be writing this review right now online, I would of been writing letters to my wife from prison.

This being during covid times, we would regularly video call to discuss legal matters. The case against me was dismissed because she fought hard for me. And she will fight hard for you. I highly recommend Loraine.

I reached out to the Smith & Eulo office just hours after my incident. I was scared, helpless and didn't know what to do. I spoke with Robert and he immediately got to work from the very first conversation that we had. Robert answered every question that I had , responded to every phone call/text and kept me up to date with everything as it was happening. I don't want to say to much about my case but I want it to be known that it was very doubtful that any good one come from it. With the hard work that Robert put it in and his dedication to my case, we were successful it what we wanted to accomplish and victory prevailed. I thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my family! This man will make you feel comfortable, in the know and never make you feel like a burden. God Bless thank you again!!

I recently needed to hire an attorney for a sensitive matter. I sent emails to numerous attorneys and Art Frost replied to me and provided me immediately with guidance and best case scenarios. He was also realistic and gave me the worst case scenario as well. Art met with me in person and spent time with me discussing the case and the circumstances. He was kind, considerate, professional and really put my mind at ease that he could resolve this matter in a timely fashion. The outcome was a best case scenario and it is now behind me. Art and his partner David worked with me and kept me informed every step of the way. Will definitely recommend them always!

I picked up William on a UBER ride and he was so cool ! He Loves practicing Law and was more then willing to advise me with my pressing Legal Questions.( I actually got a Free Consultation and ultimately a awesome Attorney out of that ride). I asked for a business card. I'm getting a Divorce and my Wife was Suing me so I contacted William and even though Family Law is not his preference he said sure he would help me. The Case is currently active but I feel safe my interests are protected. William is that first Attorney I ever had that you can call up and he will answers and I'm like What's up Man ? Did you hear anything about my case. Then he will talk to you and here you out that's the difference with him. Tell him everything about you're case. Things you think might now matter may under the Law. If you're Hiring a Attorney to help you with YOUR case he's the best to work with. Be proactive and help him get all the information he needs to handle the Law end. He is Very confident and Smart as I remember him telling me he can handle and case , County , State , Federal , whatever he know exactly what to do. In my case as I helped him get all the Paperwork for my case he made positive Connections with everyone involved in my case. This Approach was Brilliant and their are all different types of Attorneys but William will tell you he takes on hard cases to figure out . Who does that ? He did win Attorney of the Year . Ask him about it. Congratulations !

Michael Chastaine came in my life when everything seemed to go against me. I got indicted by the FBI on a federal case in the Eastern District of California. Let's say I am not the individual that put too much trust in authorities and lawyers. Little did I know that there are stand up individual like Michael still out there. In many occasions he took time out of his personal life to meet with me, help me and guide me through such a difficult process. Not only he represented me through the whole journey, but went far beyond his duty as criminal defense attorney to assure I would get the best outcome. At the end what made him an outstanding attorney is the fact that he is a human after all, he understand that we all are and treat you like one. He has a solid reputation within the federal system and maintain good relationships with every moving part of the government. With his experience he was able to come out with the best strategy and guidance to give me the best possible outcome in my case. Highly recommended criminal defense.

Jessica was extremely positive from the first conversation. It made me comfortable all throughout the process. My motion was granted after 11 years! Thanks again to the Chastaine Law First.

Michael Chastaine and his staff are amazing. I had the chance to work with two of his lawyers, Dominick Welch and Jay Manning, who are both great lawyers as well. I was dealing with a stressful time in my life and their hard work greatly lessen that. Ultimately, they were able to get my case dismissed. TWICE. I am a Veteran and there are certain legal avenues that can be taken for Veterans. The Chastaine Law Office put forth the time and effort to explore these avenues to give me the best possible results. I am forever grateful to this team and highly recommend them if you ever find yourself in a legal problem.

I had servers probation violations and was getting know where in live besides inside jails and prisons. The judge had enough of me a order a fugitive warrant. I ended calling serval lawyers that said to turn yourself in and I couldn’t help you with the case. I thought for sure I would end up back in prison and when I get out return into my old habits. Then I called Will he said he could help me and he 100 percent did. He saved my life I fixed going back to my old ways and he got the warrant taken care of. Where I didn’t have to see a day in jail nor start my probation over. I followed his advice and it changed my life for the better. If your looking for an attorney don’t look no further, Will is the person to contact because he’s not only a attorney he’s a person who cares about what happens to his clients. Thank you Will

Mr. Brian Drummond came highly recommended to my family by a trusted friend, and we now know why. Mr. Drummond is an outstanding lawyer and human. He supported our family when both of my sons were dealing with 2 different court issues in 2 different counties at the same time. He quickly responded to my many messages and questions and continually went above and beyond to support my boys in their different situations! Both court issues ended with the best outcome possible thanks to his knowledge and fantastic pre-court advice. He treats his clients with respect, humor, and empathy. I highly recommend Mr. Drummond if you need a lawyer.

Fast forward to preliminary I lie to you not he put the cop on the stand asked him roughly 7-8 questions then turned to the judge and says “ yea your honor I don’t think this is enough to move to trial I ask that the case be dismissed!.. the judge says “ yea I agree I don’t think so either, case dismissed... by the way he has beat about 5 of my friends cases by now..! 5STARS

Our eviction case pushed Curt & his co-counsel team to their limits in every way, & they pulled through w/ flying colors. Our case, while practically over in our favor, instead of being a normally 1 month long UD, still lingers on after ~8 months not because of Curt, but because our opponent was ruled to be one of the most mean/obstructive Landlord attorneys out there, w/ over 20 years experience, & have an endless dirty playbook they launch against tenants which puts them at the top of the list of infamous, notorious Landlord attorneys- they are also a high volume Landlord side firm w/ HUGE resources & they do everything possible to bury & overwhelm their opponent, to run up costs & force missed response deadlines. For the first 4 mo, just to keep up w/ them, Curt had to dedicate his complete resources to our case (virtually shutting down his legal practice). Curt was able to get each of their mean legal tactic stricken down, & then, icing on the cake, got the judge to slap them w/ one of the largest (if not the largest) sanctions (penalties, like contempt of court) ever for their mean/obstructive behavior. Judges almost never give much sanctions, so Curt (& team) winning us that monster one was no small feat. I was present at many of his most important court motion hearings in our case, and closely read through the endless court hearing and deposition transcripts, digesting his responses, counter arguments, & lines of questioning. I could go on endlessly about all the twists & turns that he had to overcome, but suffice it to say that given our case has pushed all the boundaries of UD law/process, he has demonstrated himself to me to be an extremely competent, legally knowledgeable, adept, tenacious, & caring lawyer (& person). He has great instincts w/ the SF civil Judges, depositions, and real-time litigation strategy. W/ Judges, he’s actually very respectful, takes allot of abuse, rides the line to stay on their good side and builds a solid history and rapport. In depos, he’s got amazing instincts. His instincts to discover criminal/foul play in physical evidence were also very impressive. I was also amazed at how he can dig into and own all the endless facts of our extremely complex case. Most all other attorneys would just gloss it over, and ignore/miss key (even hidden) evidence. He also great on client communications stuff, and is very open to client input & guidance when helpful, yet is always polite and frank when it is not. He is extremely respectful, and has almost zero ego/elitist trips of most lawyers. No games or angles… he’s a strait shooter! He knows his court procedure pretty well, and is a tenacious fighter. When it comes to fighting the most notorious landlord firms, he only takes clients that are willing (and able) to go all the way to jury trial, and we wanted a firm that had effectively scrapped w/ them before, and could handle jury trial. I had interviewed literally dozens of top notch attorneys (most billing $300 - $450/hr, and many were obvious rip offs, looking to take as much $ as possible, and don’t care about results), and even the most experienced in SF UD cases (e.g., 15-20+ yrs exp) had only gone to jury trial once, and the rest had no jury trial experience, just doing some bench trials, which is no good for the bogus nuisance UD case maliciously slapped on us. He has close co-counsel associates who fill in gaps where his is practice not as strong. In our case, he teamed up w/ Marc Branco to shore up UD law practice. So, that combined w/ his jury trial experience (and their hunger to kick their butt), is what sold me on their ‘dynamic duo’ to go up against them. His criminal law experience was very pertinent to our very (fact driven) nuisance UD case, and he’s adept at picking apart (hostile) witnesses an triangulating to converge on favorable facts to the case. So, in sum, I can vouch that Curt (& team) are very competent re UD legal practice, highly ethical, they get results.

We hired Nick Thornton, for our son who was facing Class C Felony charges. Nick was professional, kind honest and truly interested in a good outcome for our son. Our son made a plea deal to serve 6 years. Nick was there for him every step of the way. He answered all of our questions too, and explained things to us clearly and in a manner we could easily understand. When it came time for my son’s sentencing hearing, we had held very little hope the sentence would be reduced by more than one year. Nick fought for our son forcefully and proficiently. He presented extra research to the judge which was the key that changed everything! My son’s sentence was cut in half. It meant so much to us that Nick was as pleased for our son as we were. He truly is a fighter for his clients and if ever I had need of a lawyer, I would hire him again.

I first reached out to Nick because of his resume on Avvo. When comparing to other lawyers in the area on this metric, he was a no brainer. For context, I hired him in regards to a drug case. Leading up to my final court date, we had not reached an agreement with the prosecutor and because of this I was facing nine months in jail. Coming into that final day there was a lot of uncertainty, but Nick consistently assured me of his confidence on the law. Although I had my doubts, he came prepared and had certainly done his homework in regards to my specific case. Through extensive argument in court, the judge deemed Nick to be correct and the jail time was reduced to probation. Without him I would likely be writing this review nine months from now. Highly recommend!

I was charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly making threats in the workplace. This event never took place, as I was miles away from the office building at the time when this alleged (fictional) event took place. The allegations was made by a clerical staff with whom I have little contact. There were no witnesses. This delusional fabrication was probably orchestrated by my boss who felt too much competition coming from me, and wanted to have unlimited power. Amazingly, DA's Office decided to pursue the case without an iota of material or any other evidence, based solely on the allegation made by a secretary who has many personal and family issues, a very unhappy and bitter person. Nick collected all the facts, interviewed right people in preparation for the trial. He had several consultations with me, and prepared me well for the case. During the trial, Nick was eloquent, forceful but respectful. It was clear very early in the trial that the only outcome possible will be favorable to me. Nick dominated the trial as a lawyer. I would strongly recommend Mr. Nick Thornton as a criminal attorney to anyone in need of such legal assistance. He is a wonderful communicator, open, and never sugarcoating. You will know where you stand every step of the way. A++

What a Federal Crime Lawyer Can Do for You

A federal crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals or organizations accused of violating federal laws. These lawyers have experience navigating the complex federal criminal justice system, which includes higher penalties, stricter sentencing guidelines, and a different court system than state-level crimes. Federal crime lawyers defend clients against a wide range of charges, such as drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, fraud, conspiracy, gun violations, and more. They assist in every phase of the legal process, from investigation to trial and appeals, ensuring their clients' rights are protected.

If you’re facing federal criminal charges, a federal crime lawyer can provide the necessary defense and expertise to navigate the complexities of federal law and achieve the best possible outcome.

When Should I Hire a Federal Crime Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a federal crime lawyer in any situation where you are under investigation or have been charged with a federal crime. Key scenarios include:

  • Charged with a federal crime: If you’ve been charged with a federal offense, such as drug trafficking, wire fraud, money laundering, or conspiracy, hiring a federal crime lawyer is essential to ensure your defense is tailored to federal court procedures and laws.
  • Target of a federal investigation: If you are being investigated by federal agencies like the FBI, DEA, ATF, or IRS, it’s crucial to retain a lawyer early on. A lawyer can help you avoid self-incrimination and build a defense strategy to counter the investigation.
  • White-collar crimes: If you’ve been accused of federal white-collar crimes such as securities fraud, embezzlement, or insider trading, a lawyer can help defend you against charges brought by federal prosecutors and regulatory agencies like the SEC.
  • Drug-related charges: If you’re facing federal drug charges, such as possession, distribution, or trafficking of controlled substances, a lawyer can represent you in federal court and negotiate plea deals or challenge the prosecution’s case.
  • Gun-related offenses: If you’ve been charged with federal gun crimes, including illegal possession, trafficking, or using a firearm during a violent crime, a federal crime lawyer can help defend against harsh federal penalties.
  • Immigration-related crimes: Federal charges involving immigration violations, such as human trafficking, smuggling, or illegal re-entry after deportation, require specialized legal knowledge of both federal criminal law and immigration law.
  • Appeals: If you’ve been convicted of a federal crime and are seeking to appeal the conviction or sentence, a federal crime lawyer can assist with the appeals process, focusing on legal errors or issues that may have occurred during the trial.

Hiring a lawyer as soon as you know you are under investigation or charged with a federal crime gives you the best chance of protecting your rights and building a strong defense.

What Does a Federal Crime Lawyer Do?

A federal crime lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to defend individuals and organizations accused of federal crimes. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Defending clients in federal court: Federal crime lawyers represent clients in all stages of federal criminal proceedings, including pre-trial motions, plea negotiations, trials, and sentencing hearings.
  • Building a defense strategy: Lawyers thoroughly investigate the charges, review the prosecution’s evidence, and develop a defense strategy tailored to the unique aspects of federal law and sentencing guidelines.
  • Negotiating plea deals: In some cases, a lawyer may negotiate with federal prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties, potentially avoiding a lengthy trial and reducing sentencing.
  • Handling federal investigations: If you are the subject of a federal investigation, a lawyer will guide you on how to interact with federal agents, respond to subpoenas, and handle potential interrogations, ensuring your rights are not violated.
  • Filing pre-trial motions: Federal crime lawyers can file motions to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or challenge the legality of the investigation or arrest, aiming to weaken the prosecution’s case before trial.
  • Representing clients in appeals: If you’ve been convicted, a federal crime lawyer can represent you in the appeals process, focusing on legal errors, misconduct, or constitutional issues that may have affected the trial’s outcome.
  • Managing sentencing and post-conviction matters: Lawyers also help clients during the sentencing phase, arguing for leniency or alternatives to imprisonment, and assist with post-conviction matters such as parole or supervised release violations.

How Are Federal Crime Lawyers Paid?

Federal crime lawyers typically charge for their services in various ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the expected time commitment. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many federal crime lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $300 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience, the case complexity, and geographic location.
  • Flat fee: For specific services, such as negotiating a plea deal or representing you during the initial stages of a federal investigation, some lawyers offer a flat fee. Flat fees for federal criminal defense cases often range from $5,000 to $25,000, depending on the scope of the work.
  • Retainer: In complex federal cases, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers a portion of the legal work. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as they work on the case. Retainers typically range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the case.
  • Payment plans: Some federal crime lawyers may offer payment plans, especially if the case involves extended litigation or lengthy appeals. This can help make legal fees more manageable over time.

It’s crucial to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront to understand the total cost of representation and how payments will be handled throughout the case.

Top Questions to Ask a Federal Crime Lawyer

Before hiring a federal crime lawyer, it’s essential to ask key questions to ensure they have the necessary experience and qualifications to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

    Ensure the lawyer has extensive experience handling federal criminal cases, particularly those similar to yours, such as drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, or gun violations.

    Ask for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes, including plea deals, dismissals, or trial strategies.
  4. What is your approach to defending federal cases?
    Ask how the lawyer plans to approach your defense, including potential pre-trial motions, negotiations with federal prosecutors, or trial strategies.
  5. Will my case go to trial?
    Ask whether the lawyer thinks your case will settle out of court through a plea deal or whether it’s expected to go to trial, and how the lawyer will prepare for either scenario.
  6. How long will my case take?
    Federal cases can take time to resolve, so ask the lawyer for an estimated timeline, from investigation to trial or settlement.
  7. What are the possible penalties if convicted?

How to Check the Credibility of a Federal Crime Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable federal crime lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions or complaints.
  • Look for federal crime experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in federal criminal defense and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on federal cases.
  • Check for federal court admissions: Make sure the lawyer is admitted to practice in federal court, as federal criminal cases are handled in federal district courts.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a federal crime lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Information about the charges or investigation: Provide any documents related to the charges against you, such as indictments, subpoenas, or notices of investigation. This helps the lawyer assess the severity of the charges and the potential defense strategy.
  • Details of previous interactions with federal agents: If federal agents have contacted you or conducted searches, provide a detailed account of those interactions, including search warrants, interrogations, or evidence seized.
  • Questions about your case: Prepare a list of questions regarding the legal process, potential outcomes, and how the lawyer plans to defend you.
  • Relevant financial information: If your case involves financial crimes or assets that may be at risk, bring relevant financial records, such as bank statements, business records, or tax returns.
  • Previous legal history: If you have a prior criminal record or have been involved in federal investigations before, bring details about those cases.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal defense for your federal case.
