Attorneys Who Understand the Federal System
There are many differences between a state and federal criminal case, including: differences in federal court trial procedures, differences in the number of jurors, the involvement of a federal grand jury; and the use of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines in assigning penalties.
Our federal criminal defense attorneys understand the specifics of the federal system, and use that knowledge to the advantage of their clients. Attorneys David Makofka and Aaron Makofka are both members of the Criminal Justice Act Panel, and are experienced handling federal criminal matters.
If you have been charged with a federal crime, we can assist you from the time you are a target of a grand jury investigation through trial, and through sentencing, if applicable. We will do whatever we can to gain the most favorable outcome possible in your case, whether that is a dismissal of charges, an acquittal, or a plea agreement.
