Why Hire an Attorney?

An attorney is your representative during a criminal proceeding.  We fight for a client's rights at every point during a criminal case.  We advise clients about what is happening in the case, research legal issues, and apply the facts of the client's case to those legal rules. 

Good analysis comes from intelligence, education, and most importantly - experience. 

It is important for you as a client to make an educated decision about what to do in your case, and your attorney plays a vital role in giving you that education. 

Attorneys are also important to making sure legal documents are filed on time and correctly to protect your rights.  If your case goes to trial or to a sentencing phase, your attorney is your advocate - the one person that stands up for you. 

Why Hire Holly Hanover?

If you or someone you know has been arrested and charged with a Federal Crime, choosing an attorney can be an overwhelming experience.  In federal cases, an experienced attorney that knows the federal system can make all the difference in your outcome.  Federal prosecutors enjoy nearly unlimited resources, and the penalties in the federal system can be quite high.  It is important to hire an attorney that knows the federal system and how it works.  

Many criminal defense attorneys represent clients mainly in state criminal matters.  They might know California state law and criminal procedure, but the federal system is quite different in how it operates.  It is vital during federal criminal proceedings to be represented by a lawyer who knows the federal rules of evidence, federal rules of criminal procedure, the federal sentencing guidelines, and how to conduct themselves in a federal courtroom during the pre-trial, trial, and (if applicable) sentencing phases.  Your attorney must also be familiar with the U.S. Attorney's office that is prosecuting the case.  

Holly Hanover has specialized exclusively in federal criminal cases for nearly 15 years.  She takes the time to get to know each client individually, and uses clear language to explain how the federal system works, the possible penalties, and how a client's decisions can affect his or her case.   Ms. Hanover takes pride in exploring creative solutions to various legal issues, and fighting for an appropriate resolution for each person, depending upon the circumstances of their case. 

Ms. Hanover knows how the federal court system operates, and is extremely familiar with the clerks, marshals, probation and pretrial officers, as well as the federal prosecutors (called AUSA's).   If there is a way to tweak anything in the case to your benefit, she knows how to do it.  She only takes a limited amount of cases to ensure that each client receives quality, personalized representation.  If you want an attorney to fight for your rights, that will leave no stone unturned, and that will do everything in her power to help you through what is probably the most difficult time in your life, call Holly Hanover to see if she can represent you.
