Early Release from Federal Prison

Early release from federal prison is a hot topic among lawyers, the federal prison bureau system, and lawmakers in Washington D.C, There is a bulging population of non-violent offenders in federal prison who are not likely to pose any danger risk to society. This is one of the main reasons many want criminal justice reform in the form of amendments to the federal sentencing guidelines, among others. Currently, there are many new federal sentencing laws that went into effect in November of 2014 and many more to go into effect in November of 2015.

Many prisoners have yet to gain early release from federal prison because there are long wait lists. Who knows when overburdened federal public defenders, who have always been given way over the recommended number of cases to handle, will get to an inmate's case. If a federal prisoner wants early release, his/her best chances of getting it are to hire a private criminal lawyer. A private criminal lawyer will have the time, resources and dedication to comb over an inmate's case, life history, and conduct in prison. After thoroughly preparing arguments, a LibertyBell Law Group criminal lawyer can file the legal documents, including those containing arguments for early release, and can also stand before the judge to paint the federal inmate in the best possible light.

It's important to note that just because a federal prisoner is eligible for early release that does not mean he will get it. Each case is reviewed by a judge who considers all aspects of the case, criminal history and prison conduct and makes a decision based on the legal documents filed and the arguments made by the attorney. A private criminal attorney will make sure that all legal documents and paperwork that supports the prisoner's early release is filed and will also file additional motions and legal documents to win the judge over to approval.

Applying for early release from federal prison is akin to having a retrial. Private criminal lawyers may present new facts and more in arguing for early release.

If you have a loved one in federal prison and would like to know all your post-conviction relief options and which route is best for the inmate, including which one is most likely to succeed and get him/her the best reduction in time, call our criminal defense attorneys now at 855-LAW-PRO1 (855-529-7761).

Criminal Lawyers on Sexual Assault Trial Defense

Criminal lawyers know that being accused of sexual assault can be devastating. Just the mere accusation can damage your reputation or cause you to lose your job. A conviction will result in prison time and lifetime sex offender registration. The penalty for sexual assault continues well beyond a served prison sentence as the criminal record and sex offender status will affect job opportunities, places where you can live and more. Unfortunately, some defendants are accused of sexual assault by a vindictive prostitute, an ex-girlfriend, or other ill natured person. 

Criminal lawyers from LibertyBell Law Group have successfully represented many clients accused of sexual assault and here are some of many of their basic defenses. Criminal defense lawyers commonly use the defenses below in sexual assault trials. A lot of experience and skill is needed to be effective in the investigation, fact development, finding witnesses and interviewing them, presenting the evidence to convince all jury members and much more.

Sexual Assault Defenses Commonly Used by Lawyers:

  • Innocence
  • Consent
  • Insanity or Mental Incapacity
The innocence defense is more likely to be used by a lawyer when it can be proven that the defendant was not with the alleged victim at the time of the crime. As much as possible, top criminal attorneys from LibertyBell Law Group use evidence such as receipts of a location other than where the alleged crime took place, plane tickets and witness testimony.

However, the innocence defense (by way of not being there) will not be as effective if DNA evidence presented by a prosecutor establishes that the defendant was at the crime scene. 

Arguing that the victim consented is a defense that has to be done very meticulously by attorneys. Criminal lawyers will perform their own investigation to find evidence that the victim consented and no sex crime occurred. Criminal defense lawyers know this defense is usually much easier to argue before a jury when the victim and the defendant has had sexual relations before the alleged crime took place. For instance, a wife of another man may accuse a defendant of sexual assault because she doesn't want her husband to know she's been having an affair. Thus, she accuses the defendant of sexual assault because her husband has caught wind of her having sex with another man. Lawyers know this type of defense requires diligent investigation and questioning of witnesses among other things.

It is important to note that the consent of a minor is impossible to defend, even if they actually consented, according to law. All states have laws that regard any sexual contact with a minor, inappropriateness, coercion, or attempt to get a minor to engage in lewdness or sexual act is a crime. 

Lawyers know the insanity defense is very difficult to prove unless the defendant has a documented history of mental insanity. Juries are always very skeptical of insanity defenses, regardless of the crime. The mental incapacity defense is used by attorneys when a defendant has a mental disease or defect that prevents s/he from understanding the criminal nature of their actions.

LibertyBell Law Group lawyers are very skilled at building custom-made criminal defense strategies for their clients. They know that criminal trial defense should not be treated as a one-size-fits-all approach, rather every case is unique and must be fought with hard work, dedication and expertise.

Sexual assault cases are extremely difficult to defend and require representation from the best criminal defense lawyers. LibertyBell Law Group is composed of a team of award-winning lawyers recognized for their case results in defending even the most difficult cases. If you are being investigated or charged with a crime, call our lawyers now at 855-LAW-PRO1 (855-529-7761).

Types of Criminal Lawyers

Criminal lawyers are knowledgeable and experienced in criminal law and the criminal justice court system. Prosecutors are lawyers representing the state and federal governments in a case against a defendant accused of a crime. Defendants can be represented by public defenders or private criminal lawyers.

A defendant does not choose their public defender and the one assigned to the case may not experience in that type of criminal law. Public defenders are attorneys provided for free by the government, however the price you pay may be with your life in time in jail or prison and the consequences of a criminal record. While a public defender may be passionate and have the best intentions, many are overloaded by the sheer number of cases, according to research done by the Justice Policy Institute.

Criminal lawyers can be hired by any individual by signing a retainer and paying a fee. Criminal lawyers are available usually for a flat fee. Most criminal lawyers do not charge hourly, which is beneficial to the defendant. Criminal lawyers from LibertyBell Law Group offer financing but require a reasonable fee to be paid upfront to cover the initial costs of experts, technology,  and work needing to be done immediately to lay the groundwork for a good result and get the ball rolling in your favor.

Criminal lawyers who are very successful and get good results work very long hard hours and if they charged hourly most people would not be able to afford them. Top criminal lawyers have grit, are persistent, trustworthy, persuasive, energetic and great thinkers. LibertyBell Law Group's criminal lawyers working with Certified Criminal Law Specialists, experts and have lots of resources are going to raise the odds of getting you successful results very high.

Everyone knows the difference between ground beef and a beef Rib Eye steak and the reason why everyone pays more for steak is because it is in fact better. When you are hiring a criminal lawyer, get the best one you can maximally afford. Just like beef, there are different types of criminal lawyers, but the best criminal lawyers will showcase their case results on their website.

Defense Lawyers

A defense lawyer is also referred to as a criminal lawyer. A criminal lawyer or defense lawyer is simply an attorney representing a defendant accused of a crime. The terms lawyer and attorney are also used interchangeably; a similar analogy would be auto and car. Defense lawyers do not have to prove a defendant's innocence, they only have to prove there is not enough evidence to  prove beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant is guilty of a crime.

On the other hand, the prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. It is the work and expertise of the defense lawyer to demonstrate evidence exonerating the defendant. The best defense lawyers at LibertyBell Law Group work regularly with other defense lawyers, criminal law specialists, and experts to combine their knowledge, experience, skill and all other resources.

Defense lawyers from LibertyBell Law Group make it as affordable as possible for you to get the best attorneys and experts defending your life.
