Tough and Tenacious Federal Defense Attorneys

Our attorneys will work to prepare a comprehensive defense effort. We will look at all aspects of the case, looking for evidentiary and legal issues that could be used to obtain a favorable or acceptable outcome. These efforts can include aggressive use of motions to suppress evidence and exclude the testimony of informants and other potentially damaging witnesses.

The Wess Law Firm, P.C. will use our knowledge and experience to defend your rights and preserve your freedom.

Obtaining a Sentence Outside Federal Guidelines

Whenever possible, our firm seeks to obtain a dismissal or not guilty verdict in federal criminal defense cases. Federal cases are almost always well-prepared and the evidence can be difficult to overcome. In many cases involving federal criminal charges, the best achievable outcome is to minimize sentences pursuant to the federal sentencing guidelines

Despite what you have heard, it is possible to obtain a sentence below the federal sentencing guidelines. At The Wess Law Firm, P.C., we know this is so — because we have succeeded in obtaining sentences below guidelines in cases. We also participate in yearly training to obtain updates concerning federal law such as the federal sentencing guidelines. If conviction cannot be avoided, we will use every means at our disposal to obtain the lowest sentence possible.
