AGGRESSIVELY PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS

STATE AND FEDERAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Most criminal defense lawyers work only state cases. In federal cases, the prosecution has so many resources — greater funding, access to information, skilled personnel. Federal prosecutions have a 95 percent chance of conviction. Sentencing is more severe than in state courts. Early parole is rare and plea bargaining almost never happens. So, many defense attorneys say, “No, thank you” to federal work.

Bruce Rivers not only accepts federal defense cases along with state cases, but he wins them. As a board-certified criminal defense attorney with 2,000 trials under his belt, he has the confidence and the credentials to deliver positive outcomes.

Why I Chose Criminal Defense
“When I was in college I had a family member who went to prison wrongfully, and that’s when I first got involved with criminal law. That’s why I became a lawyer. They got worked over and so I’m out righting a wrong.” — Bruce Rivers, quoted in Attorney at Law Magazine
