Decoding Federal Sentencing Guidelines
Since 1987, federal sentencing guidelines were established that codified harsh prison sentences. While they’re meant to be guidelines that a federal judge can deviate from, a judge can only decide to soften a sentence if they can cite a clear reason why the law would allow them to do so. Not only are federal sentences generally much harsher than any sentence California law would mete out for the same crime, but not every defense lawyer has experience in federal court. The procedures, statutes, and sentencing are all different from a typical criminal lawyer’s bread and butter. If you’re being investigated for a federal crime, you need a federal defense lawyer who has extensive experience in federal court, and who ideally can prevent formal charges from ever being filed.

Thank you so much for the peace of mind!daniela blagojevic2023-04-04Attorney Michael Selyem is someone I recommend without hesitation. He has so much knowledge because of his experience as a police officer, a prosecutor and a criminal defense lawyer. He literally knew what the other side was going to do before they even did it. On my case, he successfully got my DUI case dismissed in exchange for a plea to an infraction. His actions in the court room saved my freedom, my job and my professional license. Mr. Selyem took the time to listen to me and my concerns. He always made sure I understood what was going on throughout the entire process. Any time I called or text him he responded immediately. I would recommend Mr. Selyem to my family and friends any time!Jesse Gonzalez2023-04-03Joshua Vasco helped a relative of mine through a very dark and troubling experience and provided guidance, knowledge, and reassurance throughout the entire process. Mr. Vasco explained the process we were going through and answered all the questions we ever asked him. Having worked in the district attorney's office in San Bernardino County, it is obvious Mr. Vasco knows his way around the San Bernardino Courthouse as well is familiar with the players involved. Joshua's level of professionalism, kindness, and competence is off the charts and is someone I would rely on if I ever find myself in need of awesome legal representation. A call to Josh would be an absolute no-brainer for me for any legal need! Josh is the real Deal! Thank you, Mr. Vasco!!Shane HardWood2023-04-02Mr. Selyem responded quickly and professionally. Choosing him was a no brained based on his experience in law enforcement and his experience in the courtroom. He completely saved my bacon! I couldn’t be happier!Lane Owens2023-04-01My name is Lane Owens and Michael Selyem represented me recently when I was charged with a murder that I was not involved in, as well as several other cases with a maximum exposure of life in prison plus 20 more years. Thanks to his extensive knowledge of the law and his experience in trial he was able to get the murder charge dismissed by a 99.5 motion as well as time served for the remaining cases, with no probation or parole. Michael literally saved my life and as far as I'm concerned he is the best attorney out there.Roy2023-03-29Man..hands down Josh Visco is an amazing attorney. He was very straightforward person with no BS meter. I definitely would recommend him to my friend ls and family
