Decoding Federal Sentencing Guidelines

Since 1987, federal sentencing guidelines were established that codified harsh prison sentences. While they’re meant to be guidelines that a federal judge can deviate from, a judge can only decide to soften a sentence if they can cite a clear reason why the law would allow them to do so. Not only are federal sentences generally much harsher than any sentence California law would mete out for the same crime, but not every defense lawyer has experience in federal court. The procedures, statutes, and sentencing are all different from a typical criminal lawyer’s bread and butter. If you’re being investigated for a federal crime, you need a federal defense lawyer who has extensive experience in federal court, and who ideally can prevent formal charges from ever being filed.

There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to Mr. Visco. From the day he took my case, he treated me with respect, believed in me, and stood by me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Mr. Visco was always honest, prepared, and available to answer my questions. He explained every step of the process clearly, kept me informed, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. Having him in my corner gave me confidence and peace of mind during an incredibly stressful time. Because of Mr. Visco’s hard work, dedication, and commitment, my case was ultimately dismissed. I will always be grateful for the outcome and for the exceptional representation he provided. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares about his clients, is highly knowledgeable, and will fight for the best possible result, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Visco. He exceeded my expectations, and I cannot thank him enough.

Josh does NOT play! He's the real deal. I asked for the representation and outcome I received! Both he (and Michael - his partner in the firm), are [both] supremely trained, certified, and qualified in all realms of Criminal Defense. I had interviewed several attorneys before selecting Josh and his team. Let me be clear: If you're looking for an attorney who will act as a 'showman' and then under-perform in your case, Josh is NOT your guy. He's superbly professional, and has massive experience in all realms of Criminal Defense. His background as a prosecutor aptly helps in evaluating your case. He is very straight-forward, and does not like to 'sugarcoat' options and/or case details. Rely upon his knowledge, certifications, and experience to help guide you through your journey in the justice system. He will go far above and beyond to ensure your case is worked, evaluated, and thoroughly represented. SIX stars - if I could; and both thumbs UP!
