Federal Sentencing

Adding Up the Damage: Federal Sentencing

Thanks to mandatory minimum sentences and federal sentencing guidelines, federal sentencing has become a highly complex undertaking.

There is a tremendous amount of variance in the sentences for people convicted of the same or very similar offenses. The knowledge, skill and experience of the criminal defense attorney can play an important role in minimizing the sentence received.

The lawyers at Sorrels, Udashen, & Anton understand the complex intersection of case law, sentencing guidelines and judicial discretion. We apply this knowledge to the specific facts of a case in order to achieve positive results for our clients.

Federal sentencing is more than just a technical issue; it's a human one. We present information about our client's life and background at the sentencing hearing that can influence the judge to exercise his or her discretion in our client's favor.
