Criminal Trials and Appeals
While the success of a criminal trial often depends on the amount of preparation coupled with the attorney's level of trial experience, in an appeal, no new evidence is presented. Rather, the appellant's attorney examines the evidence that was brought to trial, together with relevant case law, to demonstrate to a judge or panel that the trial court made an error. For this reason, the success of an appeal often rests on thoughtful legal analysis and persuasive brief writing. At McGoughLaw P.C. L.L.O., we have significant experience successfully handling criminal cases in the appeal phase.
Federal Criminal Charges
Federal charges often involve more investigation and evidence review than state charges, as well as higher stakes for the defendant. The sentences in federal cases are determined in part by harsh Sentencing Guidelines, and may involve mandatory minimum sentences, increasing the consequences of a conviction. At McGoughLaw P.C. L.L.O., we take federal criminal trial preparation very seriously. We understand what is at stake and we work diligently and aggressively to reduce sentencing exposure and avoid conviction.
DUI
A conviction for DUI, DWI, or drunk driving can result in the loss of your driver's license, costly fines, and even jail time. If you have been charged with a DUI, you need to seek advice from an experienced DUI attorney. At McGoughLaw P.C. L.L.O., we can pursue a range of legal tactics to help you fight your case or reduce the potential consequences of a conviction.
