Florida Federal Criminal Defense FAQ
Know your rights—and your next step.
Where are federal cases handled in Florida?
Florida has three federal districts—Southern, Middle, and Northern—with courthouses in cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, and Tallahassee. Your case will be prosecuted in the district where the alleged offense occurred. We have experience working across all Florida districts and guide clients through the unique processes in each.
What should I do if I receive a federal subpoena or target letter?
Don’t ignore it or respond without legal counsel. These notices mean you’re either under investigation or being asked to provide information about a federal case. We’ll evaluate the situation, determine your status, and advise you on how to cooperate—or assert your rights—safely and strategically.
Can you help with federal charges if I’m not from Florida?
Yes. We regularly assist clients who live out of state but are charged in Florida due to where the alleged offense occurred. We coordinate legal strategy remotely and manage appearances when possible. Whether you’re charged in Pensacola or Miami, we ensure you’re represented clearly and consistently.
Are sentencing guidelines stricter in federal court?
Yes—federal sentencing is governed by guidelines that often lead to severe penalties, especially in drug, fraud, or conspiracy cases. We analyze all factors that affect your exposure and advocate for mitigating circumstances that can reduce the outcome. Preparation and early involvement are key to navigating this system.
Can charges be reduced or dismissed in federal court?
Sometimes. We look for procedural errors, constitutional violations, or weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. In some instances, charges may be reduced through negotiation or dismissed entirely due to lack of evidence. Every federal case is unique, and we tailor the strategy accordingly.
