Federal Criminal Defense

Iowa Federal Crime Defense Lawyer

At the Berger Law Firm, Attorney Peter Berger understands the severity of the repercussions if charged with a Federal Crime. The Federal Sentencing Guidelines, although recently ruled by the United States Supreme Court as unconstitutional, are still closely followed by most Federal Judges. Because of the Guidelines, and the Federal Statutes, sentences in Federal Court are usually much harsher than those in State Court sometimes for the same offense. Attorney Berger understands the charges are just that, allegations. People have the constitutional right to defend themselves against these charges. Attorney Berger will work hard and fight to make certain to protect your best interests, and to minimize or avoid any jail time and other potential consequences that accompany a federal criminal conviction.
