Federal Drug Crime Representation
We defend clients facing serious federal drug charges, including offenses such as:
- Importation of high volumes of illegal drugs
- Cultivation or manufacture of controlled substances
- Conspiracy to traffic in cocaine, marijuana or methamphetamine
- Marijuana possession and cocaine possession with intent to distribute
Federal drug charges may carry severe mandatory sentencing penalties upon conviction. We rely on our experience to negotiate from a position of strength for the dismissal or reduction of charges when possible; however, we are always prepared to go to trial to provide dedicated, quality legal defense.
White Collar Crime Defense
Attorney Stern represents doctors, attorneys, stockbrokers, businesspersons and other professionals who are facing charges of a variety of federal white-collar crimes, including:
- Bankruptcy fraud
- Money laundering
- Embezzling
- Computer crimes
White collar crimes cases are complicated; federal authorities may spend more than a year investigating an alleged fraud prior to filing formal charges. It is important to hire an experienced federal criminal defense attorney as soon as an investigation is underway. As your counsel, whenever possible, we will seek a reduction or dismissal of the charges.
