Greater Baltimore, Maryland / Washington, D.C. Region Federal Sentencing Attorneys
Nathans & Biddle LLP has earned a national reputation for its expertise in the area of federal sentencing. The firm frequently consults and serves as co-counsel with other attorneys on sentencing matters and/or handles the sentencing phase of cases tried by other attorneys. Larry Nathans was the Chairman of the ABA White Collar Subcommittee on Federal Sentencing (1999-2006) and a past Vice-President of the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorney's Sentencing and Post-Conviction Committee. He is also a member of the Practitioner's Advisory Group to the Federal Sentencing Commission. Mr. Nathans lectures extensively at national federal sentencing conferences, including serving as the moderator of the sentencing panel at the ABA White Collar annual seminar. Larry Nathans has also authored a publication devoted to techniques to achieve sentence reduction.
Although past successes are not necessarily predictors of future results, since the early 2005 Supreme Court decision in Booker, Nathans & Biddle attorneys have received sentences below the final Federal Sentencing Guideline range, based on downward departures and/or the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) in cases not involving cooperation with law enforcement, for almost every sentenced client.
