    Federal Criminal Defense

    Fighting the 15-Year Mandatory Minimum.

    Aggressive, sophisticated legal representation when everything is at stake.

    The Threat

    The Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) is a sentencing trap. If the government proves you have three qualifying 'violent felonies' or 'serious drug offenses,' a simple possession charge becomes a 15-year mandatory minimum sentence. The enhancement transforms a routine case into a decades-long prison term.

    Our Defense

    If the government tries to use your past to enhance your sentence, we fight back. We challenge the classification of prior offenses as 'violent felonies,' working to disqualify them and avoid the draconian 15-year minimum. Recent Supreme Court cases have narrowed what qualifies.
