Protecting Your Future When the Stakes are High

Practicing law since 1986, William M. Butler has comprehensive knowledge of the federal rules and formalized court procedures. He represents clients at the initial appearance, the detention hearing, the bail hearing and all other appearances which follow. He utilizes Giglio motions to discover all evidence which the prosecution intends to use and works to develop an effective strategy which counters the evidence.

The stakes in federal courts are high. Federal agents have usually developed a solid case and stream of evidence before the defendant even becomes aware of investigations or charges. Therefore, any suspicion of potential investigations should compel you to think about your rights and the need to consult an attorney. Proactively contacting Mr. Butler provides the opportunity to start deflecting attention from you, start controlling damaging evidence and even negotiating with the prosecutor before charges are filed. Effective negotiations at this stage may result in investigations being dropped and charges never being filed. View some of Mr. Butler's successful case results.
