Why Miller Leonard handles Federal Cases

"I started my practice handling misdemeanor offenses and worked my way up to handling the most serious felony cases.  I learned from excellent mentors how to try cases and fight the charges against my clients.  Nothing is a substitute for experience, especially when your freedom is at stake."

You need someone who will stand by you, advocate for you, help you, believe in you and walk with you if you are facing federal criminal charges.  Experience and skill are needed for federal criminal defense cases and investigations.

Federal Court is a demanding place to practice.  It is expected that Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys will have extensive criminal law experience.  In fact, many attorneys who practice criminal defense do not practice in Federal Court.

In order to have a solid foundation as a criminal defense attorney, it is necessary to have handled many cases and to have worked your way up from minor offenses to serious criminal charges.  This solid base is necessary if you want to practice criminal defense in Federal Court.  Unlike most state jurisdictions, discovery in federal court is not a guarantee and often what you do get is limited.  Also, the rules of sentencing are stacked against Defendant's and require a Federal Criminal Defense Attorney who is willing to spend the time to research each and every sentencing allegation, should a case come to that.
