There is nothing more serious than a Federal criminal case

Federal Criminal Law


I would strongly recommend any young man to stay away from criminal law. It’s not a good place to be, unfortunately.

We are criminal trial lawyers who practice nothing but criminal law with a heavy emphasis in Federal criminal practice. Practicing mainly in the Federal Courts of the Eastern District of Michigan, we have dealt with representing people for the most serious of federal crimes. Federal criminal cases are far more complex than corresponding state felony cases. For an example, a large state felony case can have a couple of hundred pages of discovery, while a federal RICO case on average has millions of pages of reports, phone dumps, and online discovery. There are only a few law firms in Southeast Michigan that have the structure and experience to properly handle federal criminal cases.
