Federal charges move fast. From the moment charges are filed — or a target letter arrives — the decisions you make in the next 72 hours shape everything that follows. That is why we offer free, confidential consultations with no obligation, available 24/7.
When you call, you speak directly with Attorney Stefanie A. Murphy — not intake staff, not a paralegal. An attorney who is admitted to practice before the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut and has handled federal cases across D. Conn., D. Mass., and D.R.I.

Preparing for Your Federal Defense Consultation
Federal cases are different from state matters. To make the most of your consultation, have the following ready if available:
- Any target letter, grand jury subpoena, indictment, or charging documents you have received.
- The names of any federal agencies involved — FBI, DEA, IRS-CI, SEC, DOJ, OIG, or others.
- A brief timeline of events, including any prior contact with federal investigators or agents.
- Your questions about the charges, federal sentencing guidelines, and what happens before your first appearance in D. Conn.
Everything you share is protected by attorney-client privilege from the moment you make contact. State court and federal court are two completely different systems — make sure you have someone who knows the difference.
