federal CASE CONSULTING & trial STRATEGY

High-Stakes Cases Require High-Level Strategy. I Give You the Edge.

With a Harvard Law degree, the benefit of the best legal training in America, and years of experience working with individuals in the penal system (as well as my own personal lived experience), I provide comprehensive federal trial consulting—before trial, during trial, post-conviction and appeal phase.

 

I focus on cases in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and Eastern District of New York (EDNY)—the most powerful federal jurisdictions in the country, from high-profile cases to white-collar crime to RICO, gang, and gun charges.

Who I Help

White Collar and Financial Crimes:

  • Fraud, Money Laundering & Wire Fraud: Strategy for defending complex financial cases

  • RICO & Organized Crime: Guidance on multi-defendant and enterprise-related charges

  • Crypto & Banking Crimes: Expert insight into crypto fraud, tax evasion, and offshore banking cases

Violent and High Profile Cases:

  • Gang RICO & Conspiracy: Defense strategy for federal racketeering and conspiracy charges

  • Weapons & Drug Charges: Helping clients understand federal sentencing and trial strategy

  • Sex Crimes & High-Profile Cases: Navigating sensitive, complex legal battles with discretion

How I Help

  • Choosing the Right Lawyer – Not every attorney understands the federal system. Most don't. I ensure you have a lawyer who knows how to fight in the Feds.

  • Pre-Trial Strategy – Building a strong defense starts before trial. I assist with investigations, expert witnesses, and ensuring all legal avenues are explored.

  • Trial Support – I sit through the trial, identifying key legal issues and objections that could be crucial for appeal.

  • Sentencing Preparation – Helping to reduce sentencing exposure through mitigation strategies, pre-sentencing reports, and legal motions.

  • Appeal Readiness – Many defendants lose trial and scramble to find an appeals lawyer. I track trial issues in real time so the appellate process starts immediately.

  • Prison & Jail Transfers – Before trial, I assist in getting individuals moved to a federal detention center closer to their family. After sentencing, I help secure placement in the best possible facility.

  • Sentence Reductions – Beyond appeals, I identify legal motions and policy-based strategies that could reduce sentences or reopen cases.

Why Me?

I'm one of the only individuals in America who knows both sides: I was trained as a lawyer in the top law school in the nation. Then I was the defendant, spent three years in the Feds, and won my appeal (less than 1% of federal defendants win an appeal: most won't even get the opportunity to file one). 

 

What I Know For Sure

 

State cases can be won on money but federal cases can only be won with STRATEGY.

 

I know how to win against these people--and I know what it takes to prevail first-hand

 

I don't just know how they move: I know how they think.

 

I know their next move before they make it. The objection before they give it. The motion before they file it. 

 

I was them. Now I work for the people. 

Why Federal Court is Nothing Like State Court

Federal court is NOTHING like state court. State cases can be won on money but federal cases can only be won with STRATEGY.

 

The minute you hear the United States versus your name, you realize you are not just fighting a few prosecutors. You are fighting the most well-sourced machine on earth.  

 

And you have entered into a world most people (and attorneys) have no clue about. 

 

The Feds...

- Where no cameras are allowed in courts.

- Where billionaires and international drug lords get set down for life

- Where there is no parole or possibility of parole.

- Where they give football numbers for sentences.

- Where life means life.

- Where there is a 98% conviction rate and the average case takes years to go to trial.

- Where they send people who been in and out of state prisons 3 and 4 times. 

- Where people say bye-bye to their loved ones in their early 20s and return again to them a generation later (and half the people they knew before are dead). 

This is not a game. This is a scary world of US Marshals, of confidential informants, of sealed indictments, of superseding charges, of prosecutors who have endless resources, of judges who gives 200 years out in sentences before their break, where you sent to prison thousands of miles aways to make a point. 

 

This is my world, the world where I am a Master. And I know how to navigate and win here. Call me...

I understand the federal system from every angle—the law, the courts, the policies, and the realities of what happens behind closed doors. This isn’t about just fighting one case; it’s about waging a long-term war against a system.

 

If you or someone you love is facing federal charges, you need a strategist who knows how to move in this world.

Let’s talk. The right strategy can change the outcome for life.
