A felony charge reaches beyond the courtroom into your livelihood, your family, your reputation, and your freedom, and it often arrives with little warning. Our founding partners spent years investigating, charging, and trying serious cases. We understand from the inside how the government builds a felony case and where it can be weakest, and we bring that judgment and care to the clients we represent today.

​

We defend against felony charges in both of Washington's courts. In D.C. Superior Court, that includes defending against charges like assault with a dangerous weapon, robbery, carjacking, burglary, firearms and drug offenses, and felony sexual offenses. Many of these offenses carry mandatory minimum terms of incarceration and lasting consequences, which we can help to shape through early, careful investigations and decisions.

 

In the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, we defend against complex federal charges, including white collar crime such as health care fraud, False Claims Act allegations, wire and bank fraud, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act violations, bribery, and conspiracy. Our deep bench of experience investigating and prosecuting these charges as federal prosecutors gives us an inside understanding of how the government builds its case and how to take it apart.
