Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer in Clearwater
Have you learned of a federal criminal investigation against you or have you already been arrested or charged with a federal crime? Haworth Legal can fight for your constitutional rights. The most important step you can take right now to protect your freedom, your future, and your reputation is to retain experienced legal counsel.
Because federal crimes are more complex, the laws, regulations, potential punishment, and even the way these charges are investigated and prosecuted are very different than state crimes. Often involving crimes that cross state lines or government agencies and higher amounts of money, offenses that are charged on the federal level require a straightforward and aggressive approach tailored to the individual matter. Federal litigation is complicated, and it involves taking a close look into the evidence against you, a deep understanding of the laws and statutes, and leveraging the knowledge and resources of an experienced lawyer.
Haworth Legal is ready to help. Call (727) 610-8114 for reliable 24/7 availability and prompt, honest communication from our federal criminal defense attorney in Clearwater. We help clients throughout Pinellas County.

The First Step Act
In a step toward correctional and sentencing reforms, President Trump signed the First Step Act (FSA) of 2018 (P.L. 115- 391) into law in 2018. Among other things, the Act is meant to reduce the population in federal prisons through recidivism-reducing programs and activities. These programs, amended under 18 U.S.C. § 3624(b), provide eligible federal inmates up to 54 days of credit for every year of their imposed sentence to be put toward their pre-release custody.
Though the First Step Act makes those who have been convicted of certain crimes, including terrorism, human trafficking, espionage, certain sex and violent crimes, multiple firearm possession charges, and high-level drug crimes, ineligible, those convicted of such offenses may earn other benefits for program completion.
To learn if you or a loved one are eligible for the First Step Act, and what options may be available, contact Haworth Legal to schedule a free in-person or virtual consultation.
