TRIAL LAWYER FIGHTING FEDERAL CHARGES FOR YOU
If you are convicted of a federal crime, there is little to no chance that you will receive parole. When you are facing years in federal prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, restitution and asset forfeiture, make the right choice when hiring a lawyer.

White collar criminal charges including mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, bank fraud, investment fraud, securities fraud, environmental crimes, health care fraud, defense contracting fraud, public corruption crimes and embezzlement

--Why Experience Matters When It Comes To Federal Criminal Charges
Federal court is the "major league" of the criminal justice system. Federal law enforcement and federal prosecutors are highly skilled and have nearly unlimited resources at their disposal. When they charge someone with a crime, that person usually ends up in prison.
Working with an experienced attorney like Kevin J. Short is critical when so much is at stake. A former prosecutor and federal law clerk with more than 36 years of legal experience, Kevin has the skills and knowledge to level the playing field. He understands the tactics federal prosecutors will use against you and how to counter them.
With several dozen federal jury trials under his belt, Kevin Short knows how to fight and win in cases where prosecutors believed they had an open-and-shut case. Additionally, Kevin has provided effective pre-charge representation, helping several of his clients receive less serious charges or escape charges altogether. In one instance, he convinced prosecutors not to pursue the death penalty against a client indicted under the federal death penalty statute.
