EBM Law: Your Defense Against Federal Criminal Charges

At the Law Offices of Eric B. Morrell, we have spent over 25 years defending individuals facing the complexities of criminal charges and, more recently, federal criminal charges. In these complex situations, it is crucial to have a lawyer who is not only well-versed in criminal defense but also highly knowledgeable about the intricate process of representing individuals charged with federal crimes. 

Our Comprehensive Approach to Federal Criminal Defense

Facing federal charges is a serious and life-altering challenge that demands a strategic, proactive defense. At the Law Offices of Eric B. Morrell, we go beyond responding to the prosecution’s case—we take charge, crafting a tailored defense strategy designed to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients. 

Key Steps in Building a Strong Federal Defense:

1. Thorough Case Evaluation: Our approach begins with assessing the charges, evidence, and all available legal avenues. We scrutinize the prosecution’s case to identify inconsistencies, weaknesses, and procedural flaws, laying the foundation for a strong defense strategy.
2. In-Depth Investigation: Our legal team conducts thorough investigations, reviewing all relevant evidence, such as FBI reports, witness statements, and any other documents and videos related to the case.
3. Strategic Communication: We engage in strategic communication with the Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) to explore potential plea agreements or alternative resolutions that may be favorable to our clients. Our extensive experience and strong relationships with prosecutors enable us to negotiate effectively on behalf of our clients.
4. Expert Reports: When necessary, we enlist the expertise of qualified experts to provide reports and analysis that supports our client's defense. These experts may include forensic specialists, medical professionals, or other professionals with specialized knowledge relevant to the case.
5. “Fighter Not a Handshaker”: Our motto at the Law Offices of Eric B. Morrell is “Fighter Not a Handshaker.” If a favorable resolution cannot be reached through communication with the AUSA, we are prepared to fight until our clients are satisfied with the result. We never settle on a resolution that is unfavorable to our clients.
   
   

Knowledge of Federal Sentencing Guidelines

Our legal team possesses a deep understanding of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines and their application in federal criminal cases. We are adept at analyzing these guidelines to determine the potential sentencing range for our clients and identifying opportunities to argue for downward variances or departures based on mitigating factors. The Government may also impose sentencing enhancements, which are tools by the government to increase sentencing for certain crimes. Our team is highly knowledgeable when evaluating these enhancements and also evaluates the nature of the crime, the circumstances, and our client’s record. 

Commitment to Rehabilitation and Reintegration

We are committed to helping our clients address the underlying issues that may have contributed to their legal troubles and assisting them in becoming productive and law-abiding members of society. Depending on the nature of the charges and the individual needs of our clients, we may recommend counseling, rehabilitation programs, or other supportive services to facilitate their reintegration into the community. If you or someone you know is facing a federal charge, please contact our offices today.
