Attorney Lefeber was well prepared, she understood the facts, and this allowed her to communicate complex concepts in a simple, clear and concise manner.

Summary:Ěý Client, an owner of a check cashing store, was charged with drug conspiracy, tax structuring and money laundering because an informant, working with the government, used his check cashing services.Ěý Following a jury trial, he was found NOT GUILTY of all charges.

I was facing 240 years, and, with Hope’s representation, I received just one year of home confinement. She is an extraordinary criminal defense attorney. She listens intently to everything you have to say and is eager to learn everything about the case, leaving no stones unturned. She took the time to read through my indictment while on vacation before I had even retained her. Other attorneys that I had interviewed wouldn’t even take the time to read the indictment without having a retainer in hand first.

Hope is extremely compassionate, warm, caring and intelligent and has an unbeatable work ethic. She is always attentive and available. She represented me for over a four-year period and each and every time that I contacted her either by email or phone call, she responded to me immediately, even if she was out of town. As many times that I contacted her, she contacted me more. Not only was she my defense attorney, but she became my friend and even my therapist at times. She was there for me when I cried and never ever rushed to get off the phone with me, but rather listened and offered comforting words to me. She truly cares.

I was one of the rare defendants in a federal case that went to trial up against the government. When Hope enters the courtroom, she makes a strong impact. Her delivery is captivating. Despite the fact that I was found guilty by a jury, Hope was able, during the lengthy trial, to prove the inconsistencies of the government’s allegations against me. The prosecutor in my case portrayed me as a criminal on paper, but Hope was able to portray me to the judge as the truly good woman and mother that I am. She fought a long battle for my life which ended favorably, rather than tragically. I am writing this from the comfort of my home, surrounded by my children and my pets. Hope will be a lifelong friend of mine.”

Summary:Ěý Client was a defendant in a $14.4 million dollar mortgage fraud, wire fraud and money laundering trial, facing 10 years imprisonment.Ěý She was sentenced to probation

“The deck was stacked against us. Through my research, I found that my husband’s accusers, the U.S. government, boasted a 93 percent overall conviction rate. They offered my husband a plea agreement that was not much less than the time he would spend incarcerated if he were found guilty. The government provided us with an overwhelming amount of evidence, documents on top of documents … a mountain of evidence. Also, thankfully, we did not know it at the time but our assigned judge had only had ONE not guilty verdict in his nine years on the bench. I know … it looks pretty bad, right? Into our lives walks attorney Hope C. Lefeber.

In our very first conversation with Lefeber, she gained our confidence. She believed in us and was outraged by the accusations. She was able to determine a viable defense strategy that she had not used before but she was confident that she could be prepared in time for the trial.

Attorney Lefeber battled head-to-head against the government and all their weaponry, which included a witness list of multiple expert witnesses, last-minute filings of evidence, being denied the ability to use a vital part of our defense strategy, not to mention our limited resources versus the vast resources of our government. Our case was extremely challenging and intricate. The U.S. government came at us full force, both barrels blasting. However, the government did not have our weapon, attorney Lefeber. She displayed patience, professionalism, tenacity, and great attention to detail and discernment that comes only with years of experience. She was able to appropriately compartmentalize the mountains of evidence to review critical elements and provide us with THE defense strategy that brought us VICTORY through a jury trial. Afterwards, we were told it was only the second NOT GUILTY verdict in nine years for this judge’s courtroom.

Attorney Lefeber has such an innately disarming personality, the jury easily connected with her. Through her great attention to detail and brilliant lines of questioning, she was able to turn several of the U.S. Attorney’s witnesses into witnesses for the defense. She is high energy, tolerant, funny, charming, and a very genuine person. Attorney Lefeber shared information with us in a timely manner but shielded us as she saw fit from what she knew would be upsetting to us. Her communication style is open and straight-forward, yet caring. She was a pleasure with which to work and she worked a miracle for us! I recommend attorney Hope C. Lefeber without hesitation or reservation. “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.”
