Federal sentencing guidelines were rigid and, at one time, mandatory. Even though the federal sentencing guidelines are no longer mandatory, many judges still use them as a guideline in determining sentencing. But because they no longer specify mandatory sentences, it is very important to present a compelling argument during your federal sentencing hearing.

With offices throughout southeastern Pennsylvania, the Henry Law Firm provides assistance and representation during the sentencing hearing in your case. We work with individuals and other attorneys to help ensure that you present a compelling argument during sentencing. We understand how to argue for variances and departures from the guidelines, and will work with you to present the most compelling argument to the judge at sentencing.

We have extensive experience with federal sentencing and post-conviction matters. Our attorneys have handled hundreds of jury trials and thousands of cases in state and federal court, including numerous requests for departure and variances from federal sentencing guidelines.

Experienced Pennsylvania Federal Sentencing Attorneys

Federal judges are likely to weigh the factors called for in the federal sentencing guidelines when determining and imposing a prison sentence. Some of the factors that may be considered include:

• Severity of the crime
• Criminal history, including the number of previous convictions
• Number of victims affected by the crime
• For drug possession, drug trafficking or drug cultivation cases, the quantity of drugs involved
• For fraud cases, the number of victims and amount of loss
• For federal weapons charges, the number of guns or weapons
• For Internet sex crimes and pornography, the number of pornographic pictures

The bottom line is that there are a number of factors the court may consider when deciding sentencing after a criminal conviction. You want to ensure that you are presenting the strongest possible case for deviating from the federal sentencing guidelines, and we can help.
