Why is it essential to have a top federal criminal defense lawyer?

The laws that govern federal crimes tend to be very complex, so it is vital that your lawyer has a thorough understanding of these laws and can interpret them effectively. At LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C., we have extensive experience successfully defending clients facing federal charges in courts throughout the United States. We appear almost daily in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, and we’ve handled federal criminal matters multiple times in the Western District. The primary advantage of hiring a criminal defense law firm, as opposed to a single lawyer, is that we have several experienced federal defense lawyers who work together as a team. They collaborate regarding every case we handle and work together to achieve results that a solo practitioner would be unlikely to accomplish. Why is a federal defense team an advantage? The U.S. Attorney operates as a team on most cases, with multiple AUSAs working together to convict and punish defendants. The best defense against a team of assistant United States attorneys is a top-level team defense!

Experience with Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSA)

With decades of experience handling numerous cases in the United States District Courts in Detroit, Bay City, Flint, Port Huron, and other locations in Michigan, we have worked with most Assistant United States Attorneys in the Eastern District. Through our lawyers’ collective experience with plea bargaining, obtaining dismissals, and taking cases to trial, we have established amicable and respectful connections with prosecutors. Their respect for our firm helps us achieve extraordinary results.

You Will Need Seasoned Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers to Represent You

After being charged with a federal offense, you will need a seasoned lawyer to represent you, preferably before the government files a complaint or obtains a Grand Jury indictment. Due to the nature of federal crimes and the virtually unlimited budgets of various investigative agencies, law enforcement thoroughly investigates these offenses before they reach court. Federal investigations can take years, and long delays do not mean prosecution or indictment is not forthcoming. Because a federal investigation can take some time, your lawyer must start preserving and protecting evidence that may be favorable to you before it becomes lost or unavailable.

Federal Precharge Investigation, Consultation, and Representation

Having a Michigan federal crimes defense lawyer represent you during the investigation phase can be extremely beneficial. In some cases, stopping charges and preventing an indictment might be possible. Through a thorough investigation of the potential defenses in your case, we can identify and present facts or evidence to persuade the United States Attorney’s Office to dismiss the case or reduce pending charges before the matter proceeds to court. Multiple clients have avoided federal prosecution through thorough and proactive pre-indictment representation.

When charges are unavoidable, many precharge strategies are available, and our client wishes to accept responsibility and seek the lowest possible charges and sentence. For example, our precharge representation attorneys can negotiate for a plea to an “information” instead of forcing the government to seek an indictment. By agreeing to a resolution pursuant to an “information,” the government will agree to reduced or fewer charges and a sentence considering our client’s acceptance of responsibility. By accepting responsibility early, a defendant can ensure lower sentencing guidelines and increase their odds of avoiding incarceration when possible. Precharge representation in healthcare fraud cases can be particularly beneficial for healthcare professionals facing federal charges.

We Provide the Best Possible Defense and Protection for Our Clients in Federal Court

A great federal defense lawyer will protect your rights and help ensure the government cannot use illegally obtained evidence against you. As seasoned federal criminal defense lawyers, we possess the expertise to negotiate with federal prosecutors to minimize potential charges and will always work diligently to obtain reduced or dismissed sentences. Over several decades, we have achieved sentences with limited or no incarceration, even in cases where imprisonment seemed unavoidable. Obtaining extraordinary and lenient sentences does not happen by chance; it requires years of dedication and experience to become one of the most effective and respected federal criminal defense law firms in Southeastern Michigan.

In addition to prison and employment problems, a criminal conviction can have collateral consequences, such as loss of firearm rights, loss of your driver’s license, changes in child custody, civil lawsuits, damage to your reputation, deportation, and more. We know that you want someone who will represent you like they would their own family member. If you work with our lawyers, this is the care and dedication you will get from LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C.

If you ever find yourself in need of legal expertise and someone who will see you as a whole person beyond a single action, look no further than Parisa Sadrnia. From our first phone call and every step of the way through the end of my case, Parisa was fantastic. Smart, organized, super responsive, trustworthy, and most importantly - always thinking ahead and tough enough to stand up and fight for me when I didn't always feel like I could do so myself. She’s a fantastic listener and I was immediately impressed with her ability to clearly explain a lot of complex legal things. Also, she owns the courtroom – confidant, connected, prepared and professional. Because of Parisa's expertise and tenacity, my case had the best possible outcome and I am so thankful for her.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Avvo. Due to a recent issue at my employment, I had reason to seek out the advice of a criminal defense lawyer. I contacted three of the top lawyers in the state. Two just wanted me to give them money. Loren is different. Although he routinely represents clients on a pre-charge basis, he was able to help me see a perspective that I had not previously noticed. It turned out that I misunderstood the situation from the beginning and did not need to hire a lawyer. If I ever need to hire one, you can bet that it would only be Loren Dickstein.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Avvo. Do you like to win? If so, Loren is your man. His services are not cheap, but anything worthwhile rarely is. I simply cannot recommend him enough. If you think this praise is unwarranted, read on. Despite never so much as having seen a police officer, I was charged with domestic violence. I was notified of this over the phone, at which point I agreed to turn myself in. Later, I came to find out from Loren that I should have turned myself in with him. Anybody in a similar situation, take note. Anyhow, upon retaining Loren from jail, he immediately sprang into action. At my arraignment, the prosecutor made all kinds of egregious, impossible claims. She requested my bond be set at some ludicrous amount--I forget the exact figure, but I believe it was $15,000, no 10%. As if through some incantation, Loren was able to handily overcome this attempt, getting my bond set at $10,000 with 10%. I immediately posted the $1,000 (which was ultimately returned to me), and was out of jail. To my surprise, the frivolous charges were pursued upon my release. I made it clear to Loren that under no condition would I accept a plea bargain of any sort. I wanted to fight, and I wanted to win. He was on board from that moment, and made no attempt to sway my opinion. It was clear that he, too, wanted to win. As the wheels of justice slowly began to turn, I was asked to travel for work. This was a significant problem as one of the conditions of my bond was that I could not leave the state. Having put it off as long as I could, I finally raised the issue with Loren. He told me that, while he could not promise anything, he believed it to be possible. I decided to put my faith in him, and told my client I was working on it. What I expected to take weeks took mere days: in no time at all, I had a signed order permitting travel. That was the first win, and thanks to Loren's swift actions, I was able to advance my career in the midst of such a dreadful ordeal! As the case proceeded, the prosecution began to act in a manner I can only describe as "erratic." At some point, they lost contact with the purported victim. They subpoenaed a man I had never seen or met before. They even attempted to subpoena my elderly mother! Again, Loren acted decisively: not long after, my mother received a phone call from a prosecutor informing her that if she had received the summons, it was not necessary for her to appear. I am quite thankful for that--she was burdened enough by the events. Despite having lost contact with the so-called "victim," the prosecution continued after me! It seemed their plan was to have the police testify on behalf of the "victim!" Outrageous! But once again, Loren intervened. He filed a motion invoking the Crawford rule. When I discussed it with him, he said that while he could not guarantee success, he had never had the motion fail. Lo and behold, it did not! And with that, the police were no longer able to testify on behalf of the "victim." Another win! Are you seeing the pattern here? The prosecution persisted, setting a date for trial! I was informed by the judge that, should I proceed, I would have no further opportunities to enter a plea bargain. In other words, I had a choice: give up, or once again put my faith in Loren, and continue fighting. When I discussed the matter with Loren, he informed me that, should the "victim" not appear at the trial, that would be it: case dismissed. I opted to continue the fight. The day of the trial, I was terrified. But the "victim" never arrived, and as quickly as the ordeal had begun, it was over: case dismissed, and I walked out of the courthouse with the matter resolved--a free man, no probation, nothing about the matter on my record, and, above all else, a mother undisturbed. Later that day, Loren also informed he was waiving the remaining balance. Such generosity is greatly appreciated. I've hit the max length for a review, but that's it. If you want to win, you want Loren.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thru A.I. Lewis & Dickstein was referred for my legal issues and though it was expensive, I retained services and it was worth it. I was represented by Parisa and Randy, and Parisa was truly amazing. She was honest, approachable, extremely thorough, and was invested in my case. What Parisa presented to the court covered anything and everything I could have asked. I was able to get Parisa information that was viable and she made it irrefutable. I highly recommend Lewis & Dickstein for representation and especially Parisa, as she was successful in taking my difficult case and making it a success. Thank you Parisa you are a star!

I have hired Randy Lewis and Parisa Sadrnia on multiple occasions, fortunately. They are true magicians, lol. I’m a pretty good judge of talent and I truly feel fortunate I’ve had them in my corner. They have exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m truly grateful to them both.  It only did they work on my cases and win, they got to know me as a person and showed empathy, and cared. I consider them more than attorneys I’ve hired, they are friends to me. Thank you Randy and Parisa.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Parisa is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. She helped me during a really difficult time in my life, and from our very first conversation it was clear how sharp and detail-oriented she is. She is knowledgeable and deeply understands how the court system works and has great instincts about how to approach a case that got more complicated as time went on. She always seemed to know the right move at the right time. On top of being an excellent lawyer, she's warm, personable, and genuinely cared about me as a client, not just my case. I always felt like she had my back. I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone who needs a criminal attorney they can trust.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Avvo. I hired Loren Dickstein to represent me on a domestic violence case. One thing is for sure, he is not afraid to fight to protect his client’s rights. The prosecutor fought to get evidence in at Loren, even if my ex-wife failed to appear. Loren put a stop to that! The case was dismissed.

Loren Dickstein We had Loren as our CJA attorney for a complicated RICO case in the eastern district of MI and he was truly fantastic because he listened and heard us when we discussed and explained our defense and why my husband was innocent of most of the charges and claims against him by his cooperating codefendent who was really his brother who was lying on him because of a family grudge. We got the wrong charges squashed! My husband’s deal was better than every other lawyer claimed they could get. We knew right away we had the right criminal defense lawyer right from the start!! Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Lewis & Dickstein after receiving a letter informing me that I needed to turn myself in for a High BAC OWI that occurred in Bloomfield. Since this was the first time I had ever been in trouble with the law, I was extremely nervous and unsure of what to expect. Shortly after contacting the office, Attorney Monarrez called me personally. From the first time I stepped into his office, I felt that I was in good hands, although I was still very concerned because of the seriousness of my case. Attorney Monarrez immediately got to work. He arranged a walk in arraignment, and I was released on a personal bond. He provided me with valuable resources, guided me on the steps I needed to take, and took the time to learn about my personal background so he could build the strongest possible case on my behalf. Throughout the four months that he handled my case, I always felt reassured whenever he walked into the courtroom. It truly felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders knowing that he was representing me. As the case progressed, he was able to get one of my charges dismissed and ultimately secured a sentence of probation instead of jail time. I am confident that I would not have received such a favorable outcome without Attorney Monarrez’s knowledge, dedication, and hard work. He was professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Attorney Monarrez to anyone in need of legal representation, and I am extremely grateful for everything he did for me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Avvo. We had Loren on a federal exploitation of a minor charge for my husband. Needless to say, that charge was quite a shock to me! After getting Loren ans our lawyer, he made us feel comfortable and helped get my husband evaluated and treatment. He needed help for a terrible pornography addiction. This was an awful case and a terrible twist in our lives! No matter how bad things got or seemed to get, Loren saw us through the whole way and always made us feel comfortable and confident we would get the best outcome. At sentencing, he did a masterful job of convincing the judge to order a sentence that was only a third of what the US attorney was asking for. I don’t think any other lawyer could’ve done as well.

She showed care and concern in the time she took to obtain my perspective on the incident leading to the ticket and why it happened so that she would be fully prepared when she negotiated with the prosecuting attorney.  She was easy to talk with and empathic and I found this helpful in creating trust that she cared about working on my behalf and would do so.  And she did, reducing my ticket to a 0 point fine (originally 3 points) and reducing the cost of the ticket, as well.  Thank you, Jessica.

He represented my nephew in a legal matter in the United States and was outstanding throughout the entire process. Mr. Dickstein demonstrated exceptional professionalism, strong judgment, and a clear, strategic approach. He explained options and next steps in a calm, practical way, that gave our family real confidence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was reaching out to find a lawyer for a family matter. Contacted several lawyer firms, only Jessica responded and offered us help in our case. She not only understood the complicated situation totally, but also offered advice and support that helped our case tremendously and favored our expectations when she presented our case in court. I recommend Jessica anytime you are in need of help.

He defended our son's innocence with a purpose not just a job. He answered all our questions no matter what time of day. He pivoted on every angle for the best possible outcome which was a dismissal.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jessica is an excellent lawyer and a very empathetic person. I am very satisfied with the results. My previous lawyer obtained an offer that I wasn’t happy with, and for that reason ,I decided to contact jessica for a second opinion. After speaking with her ,I decided to have her handle my case, and I didn’t regret it. She managed to get the charge dismissed .I definitely recommend her services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Avvo. Clear Thinking, Strong Advocacy, and Total Confidence I have an associate’s degree in engineering, so I approach problems logically and pay close attention to details, which is exactly why hiring Loren Dickstein made sense to me. From the start, he broke a stressful legal situation into clear, understandable steps and explained what mattered, what did not, and why certain choices carried real risk while others did not. Nothing felt like guesswork because every move had a purpose. He knew the facts cold, anticipated issues before they surfaced, and adjusted strategy quickly when circumstances changed, always explaining things in plain language without talking down to me. Just as important, he treated me like a person, not a file, by returning calls, following through, and doing exactly what he said he would do. The outcome exceeded my expectations, but the real value was the confidence I had throughout the process knowing my case was in capable, disciplined hands. If you want a lawyer who thinks clearly, communicates directly, and truly understands the system, Loren Dickstein deserves five stars without hesitation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Avvo. Lawyer or Magician? Hard to tell! I highly recommend Loren Dickstein. He did a great job on my case. I truly did not understand what was happening and he took the time to walk me through the process step by step. I likely was not his easiest client, but he never let that show. The officer on my case didn’t like me at all! Somehow, Loren worked his magic and got him to back off so we could reach a very positive decision. I’d recommend Loren to anyone I care about.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Avvo. No. 1 Advocate for your Advantage My name is Mel. I hired Loren to help me because the prosecutor wasn’t telling me what’s going on and didn’t care what I wanted. Under the crime victim’s rights law, they are supposed to include people. Loren contacted them and got them to talk to me. I wanted restitution and Loren made sure I was protected. He is a great advocate!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Parisa got my DV case dismissed. She is different from other attorneys. She doesn’t interrupt me and patiently listens to my concerns first. She gives a calm, confident, and ruthless impression, which is why I retained her after talking to so many attorneys. She emails me quickly about every step and detail of my case, such as motions/deviations she’s filing or evidence she receives. Some attorneys are not this detail-oriented. Additionally, she confirms your professional status, like your medical license and your immigration status, to ensure that the result won’t negatively affect you. She is patient with her clients but very effective and ruthless in court. She isn't afraid to go to trial if needed. While she and her firm can be very expensive, you want to retain a very competent attorney, especially when you are concerned about your career or immigration status. You don’t want to retain a random or “affordable” attorney because it will be a nightmare. For me, I am a very picky person and want my attorney to be effective and aggressive in court. Parisa and her firm will do everything possible to obtain a dismissal or a not-guilty verdict. She is not a random attorney who would convince you to accept a lame plea deal. It was very stressful to have a pending criminal charge. However, I felt much safer after retaining Parisa and her firm. I am thankful for Parisa.
