Why an Experienced Fort Worth Federal Crimes Lawyer Matters: A Case Study
Federal charges aren’t the end of the story, as one recent case shows. Graham represented a young man with no prior criminal record who was caught transporting over 15 kilos of cocaine. The original sentencing guideline was 121-150 months (approximately 10-12.5 years). Through strategic plea negotiations and pretrial maneuvers, Graham reduced the recommended guideline to 38-46 months.
At the sentencing hearing, Graham successfully argued for a downward variance, and the judge sentenced the client to just 25 months in a minimum security facility with permission to self-surrender a month later.
This case goes to show that even when facing serious federal charges with overwhelming evidence, the right legal strategy can make an extraordinary difference. What could have been over a decade in federal prison became a manageable sentence that allowed a young man to maintain hope for his future.
Federal cases may seem impossible to defend, but experienced representation that understands federal sentencing guidelines, knows how to negotiate with federal prosecutors, and can effectively advocate at sentencing hearings can turn what appears to be a hopeless situation into a second chance.
“Graham has been with me every step of the way through this process. My case was dismissed due to his hard work and skills. I cannot recommend him highly enough.” — Colby Gallatin
