Powerful Defense for Federal Charges in Florida
Being charged with a federal crime is vastly different from facing state charges. Federal cases are prosecuted by U.S. Attorneys with the full weight of federal investigative agencies behind them, including the FBI, DEA, and IRS. If you’re under investigation or have been indicted in Miami or anywhere in Florida, you need an experienced federal criminal defense attorney immediately.
At El-Naffy Law, we understand the high stakes involved. Federal convictions often carry longer prison sentences, mandatory minimums, and life-altering consequences. Attorney Carolle El-Naffy, a seasoned trial lawyer and former Assistant Public Defender, brings extensive courtroom experience and strategic insight to every case.
