Experienced Federal Crimes Defense

Bobby Phillips has practiced in criminal defense since 1974 and is recognized in coastal Georgia as an aggressive trial lawyer who always FIGHTS FOR HIS CLIENTS. Mandy Roberts was a lead felony trial attorney for Georgia's Eastern Judicial Circuit Public Defender's Office and is known as "Savannah's Top Female Criminal Defense Attorney".

Federal prosecutors rarely negotiate, but will extend "take it or leave it" plea offers if they are not confident of a conviction. We know that the lengthy prison term for conviction may leave our clients no choice but to go to trial. We work hard on the front end to have charges reduced or evidence excluded, and we prepare every possible defense to avoid the conviction or lessen the punishment.

If you are convicted or agree to a plea, the punishment depends on the base sentence for the crime, plus enhancing factors such as prior offenses or weapons. At sentencing, we have had success in convincing federal judges to consider our clients' good deeds and other mitigating factors, to get credit in the form of reduced prison terms.
