Federal Sentencing Guidelines

Federal Court is significantly different from State Court in Florida.  The Federal Sentencing Guidelines, like scoresheets in Florida Courts, are designed to ensure uniformity of punishment for offenses.  The guidelines apply only to felonies and class-A misdemeanors, not to less serious misdemeanor offenses.  Offense level and criminal history are key components in determining what the sentence will be, however, adjustments are possible.  To see what may be available to you in your case, contact us to discuss.  Every case is different and you will want an attorney who is experienced in dealing with these types of cases.
