Federal Criminal Defense

When the FBI, DEA, Secret Service, CID, or even the Postal Service, is out asking questions about you, that's best time to call a lawyer.  Because federal criminal cases are quite different from state criminal cases, and require a different touch, you need an attorney who has significant experience handling federal criminal cases.

  • Psystar
    It’s a been a fun ride, but it looks like Psystar’s quixotic efforts to let users install OS X on non-Apple hardware (or buy Apple clones) are pretty much over.  To refresh, Psystar (which is oddly reviled among the digerati, who are not known for their love of DRM and locked-down content) … … … You know [...]
