Intricacies of Federal Prosecutions

The Federal Government has enormous resources to investigate and prosecute offenses throughout the United States.  Becoming caught up in a federal prosecution raises all sorts of questions about what decisions to make, and those decisions must be made quickly.  Andrew Gay, Jr., educates himself about changes in the law, including the First Step Act (1SA) and Fair Sentencing Act (FSA), and will ensure you receive all the downward adjustments, departures and variances as required under 18 U.S.C. §3553 and the United States Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Booker.

Federal mandatory minimum sentences are harsh in cases involving Possession with Intent to Distribute a controlled substance (21 U.S.C. §841), Conspiracy to distribute drugs (21 U.S.C. §846), and possessing firearms (18 U.S.C. §922). Knowing your legal representative is already vastly familiar with these complex rules and guidelines will provide the needed assurance that you will receive all benefits to which you are entitled.

Base guidelines for Mail or Wire Fraud (18 U.S.C. §1341 & §1343)/Embezzlement/Aggravated Identity Theft (18 U.S.C. 1028A), are determined under United States Sentencing Guideline Section 2B1.1, and increase with the amount of fraud accomplished, or attempted. Understanding how the guidelines work is crucial to a successful outcome.
