Los Angeles Federal Criminal Defense Attorney
Federal
prosecutions can, and often are, some of the most serious cases facing
a defendant. The penalties for violation of federal law are
always heavy.
When you or a loved one
is arrested and prosecuted in federal court, protection of your legal
rights can only come from an effective and experienced lawyer. In a
federal criminal case, a lawyer who has successfully challenged federal
law enforcement and prosecutors can mean the difference between freedom
(or shorter sentences) and long, harsh sentences. Federal law
enforcement and prosecutors are always aggressive. They will try to
obtain statements from the arrested person long before you had a chance
to talk to a lawyer. These tactics must be met with an intelligent and
equally aggressive defense.
Established
in 1976, our law firm has provided high quality, aggressive legal
advocacy with outstanding results. In our criminal defense practice we
have litigated against the United States government, and state and
local agencies, in cases ranging from fraud to homicide to large drug
conspiracies to extradition to foreign countries. Despite the large
resources of the United States government, we have consistently
provided skilled lawyering and leveled the playing field for our
clients. The favorable results that we have obtained are the product of
a simple philosophy: We truly care about our clients and defend their legal rights aggressively.
Since
that time, we have handled hundreds of trials, appeals and writs in
criminal law, including federal and state cases involving major
felonies such as mail/wire fraud and other white collar crimes, drug
crimes, conspiracy, homicide, computer crimes, sex crimes, theft and
related crimes and post conviction relief in state and federal courts.
Our firm has represented clients in federal cases across the United
States.
We have also represented clients in federal court in extradition
proceedings, that is, persons who are sought in foreign countries for
criminal prosecution.
In 2006, Michael Severo was selected as a criminal defense Super Lawyer.
