Miami Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer

Federal Attorney Helping Clients in the Greater South Florida

Federal crimes are often the most serious for which a defendant may face criminal charges. Not only are the offenses handled in federal court often more serious in nature than those at a state level, but the manner in which these crimes are investigated, prosecuted and penalized are extremely harsh. Federal crimes have harsh minimum penalties that must be imposed under federal sentencing guidelines, allowing for little to no deviation or leniency on the part of the federal judge. To make matters worse, federal agencies are typically better funded and have more manpower to dedicate to their investigations, and federal prosecutors most often have more experience and resources to prosecute defendants in federal court.

To counteract the aggressive investigation and prosecution that you will face for a federal crime, you need a highly experienced criminal defense attorney on your side. Miami federal criminal lawyer Michael Mirer is here to offer you the knowledgeable and dedicated legal representation you deserve to fight your federal crime charges.
