Federal cases differ from State prosecutions. They often begin with lengthy investigations by agencies like the FBI, DEA, IRS, or ATF. When charges are filed, penalties can include lengthy prison terms, heavy fines, and forfeiture of assets.
With nearly 15 years of experience, Suzanne Axel has rare insight into how federal cases are developed and how to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. When representing a client charged with federal crimes, Suzanne’s approach is methodical, relentless, and fearless.
