September, 2005 - United States District Court, Eastern District of New York

One of our clients faced several years in federal prison following his guilty plea. Even though it seemed certain that the client would have to spend time in prison, the firm prepared a thorough and persuasive pre-sentence memorandum and prepared the client for his statement to the judge. We feel that sometimes attention to these details can make all the difference in the world. It did for this client when the district judge on the case was moved to sentence him to probation, rather than prison.

Attorney Jim Koenig tried the case for the firm and our client was found not guilty of all charges.
