Miami Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer

Federal criminal charges are some of the most serious criminal charges you can face. In many cases, the U.S. government investigates federal crimes for several years before making an arrest. By the time you realize you are being investigated or charged, the government could have substantial evidence against you. Additionally, federal charges carry some of the highest minimum mandatory sentences and maximum sentences under the law.

If you believe you are under investigation or if you have been charged with a federal crime, you need an experienced attorney on your side who can help you navigate the criminal justice system.

At Hubbs Law Firm, we have extensive legal experience, including past experience as prosecutors.

Now, as Miami federal criminal defense attorneys, we use our considerable knowledge of the legal system to aggressively advocate for our clients. We also assist non-U.S. citizens in federal criminal defense matters as they relate to immigration law, including deportation.

Can Federal Charges Be Dropped?

Federal charges against you can be dropped when the jury cannot reach a unanimous decision and is considered a mistrial. Should the DOJ pursue your case again, the judge can declare a mistrial or drop the charges against you.

Understanding the Federal Criminal Process

Navigating the federal criminal justice system can be daunting. At Hubbs Law, P.A., we believe that informed clients are empowered clients. Understanding the stages of the federal criminal process can help you feel more prepared and confident as you face your legal challenges. Here’s a brief overview of the key phases:

1. Investigation: Federal law enforcement agencies gather evidence and build a case against you. This stage may involve surveillance, interviews, and document reviews.
2. Grand Jury Proceedings: The evidence collected is presented to a grand jury, which decides whether there is enough evidence to indict you.
3. Arraignment: If indicted, you will be formally charged and asked to enter a plea. This is a critical moment where having experienced legal representation is vital.
4. Discovery: Both sides exchange evidence and information, allowing your defense team to prepare a robust strategy.
5. Trial: If a plea agreement is not reached, your case will go to trial where both sides present their arguments before a judge or jury.
6. Sentencing: If convicted, you will face sentencing, which can include fines, probation, or imprisonment. Your attorney can advocate for the most favorable outcome during this stage.

Each of these stages presents unique challenges and opportunities. Our dedicated team at Hubbs Law, P.A. is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you receive the best possible outcome.
