Federal Appeals & Sentencing Attorneys

In federal court, the sentencing hearing is often the most consequential day of the case - and the appeal is the last check on everything that went wrong before it. We handle both, in Florida, Michigan, and the Eleventh and Sixth Circuits.

Guidelines, Variances & Appeals

The Case After The Verdict

Federal sentences are driven by the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines – a system of offense levels, enhancements, and criminal-history categories where a single disputed enhancement can mean years. We litigate the guidelines calculation aggressively and build the case for downward variances under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).

On appeal, we brief and argue before the Eleventh Circuit (Florida) and the Sixth Circuit (Michigan), and pursue post-conviction relief under § 2255 – including sentencing errors, suppression rulings, and ineffective assistance of prior counsel.
