Los Angeles Area Federal Crimes

Serious charges require serious criminal lawyers

The Law Office of Bradley S. Sandler and The Beverly Hills Criminal Law Group handle all federal cases at each stage of the federal criminal proceedings. Federal cases are initiated by federal law enforcement embarking on a detailed investigation, with vast resources. Commonly, these investigations are headed by the DEA, IRS, U.S. Customs, FBI, U.S. Postal Service and other Federal Agencies. Subsequently, alleged federal crimes are investigated and are prosecuted by the Department Of Justice in coordination with U.S. Marshals, who are skilled at investigating and bold in their efforts to obtain evidence and incriminating information.  
 
Often times, federal law enforcement agents contact suspects prior to arrest to discuss looming Federal Criminal Charges.  This is the moment to contact an aggressive federal criminal defense team, such as our criminal law firm in Los Angeles. 

Federal Cases Versus State Cases

Unlike state cases, federal cases must be fought from the moment you believe you are being investigated or charges may be filed. The Federal System is different than the State Judicial System.  Defendants are not guaranteed bail by statute, as in a State Court (most state crimes). Instead, Federal Bonds are only permitted after convincing a Federal Judge, during a Bail and Detention Hearing, the current offense, the Defendant's history, sources of income, ties to the community and prior criminal history warrant entitlement to Bail. As a result, you must hire one of the best criminal lawyers immediately upon contact with a Federal Agency or upon arrest or you may be unprepared to fight for bail and have to fight your case from behind bars.
 
More importantly, the penalties for federal criminal laws are based on a point system. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, points are given for the base level offense (underlying charges) and increases on point totals are imposed for prior criminal history, an individual's role in the offense, for weight of narcotics or amount of money for federal financial crimes. There are numerous other ways the Federal Government can increase your point totals to facilitate severe prison sentences on Defendants. Experienced federal criminal defense lawyer Bradley S. Sandler can help reduce point levels under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, by challenging offenses charged to reduce base level offense points; negotiate with Assistant United States Attorneys for downward departures from the Federal Sentencing Guidelines through lack of criminal history, cooperative attitude toward proceedings and numerous other ways.
