If you believe you are under investigation, the most important step you can take is to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately — before speaking with law enforcement. Anything you say can be used against you. Early legal intervention can protect your rights and may influence how the investigation proceeds.

Absolutely. Federal criminal cases are prosecuted by experienced Assistant U.S. Attorneys and involve unique procedural rules, federal sentencing guidelines, and significant mandatory minimums. The stakes are extremely high. Having an attorney who is experienced specifically in federal court — not just general criminal defense — is critical.

Yes, in most circumstances a conviction can be appealed. An appeal is not a new trial — it is a review of whether legal errors occurred during your case that affected the outcome. Common grounds include improper admission of evidence, ineffective assistance of counsel, and constitutional violations. Strict deadlines apply, so it is important to contact an appellate attorney promptly after conviction.

As early as possible — ideally before you speak with law enforcement at all. Many cases are significantly affected by what happens before charges are even filed. Early intervention allows your attorney to gather evidence, communicate with investigators, protect your rights, and potentially influence charging decisions.

Yes. Britt is licensed in both Colorado and Michigan and regularly represents clients in federal and state courts in both states. She is admitted to practice before the U.S. District Courts in Colorado and Michigan, as well as the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Sixth and Tenth Circuits, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
