Kim Hodde has published articles on the recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions of Blakely v. Washington and United States v. Booker.  These decisions are likely to have a significant impact on Courts confronting economic and white-collar crimes.  The punishment for these types of federal criminal defenses are driven by a calculation of factors under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.  As of January 12, 2005, the guideline calculation has been relegated to merely one of several components of federal sentencing which is now governed by an application of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).  However, some Federal Courts continue to adhere to the Guidelines to a significant extent in determining an ultimate sentence.  Therefore, white collar crime cases and economic crime cases need to be handled in such a way that issues of loss and restitution are at the forefront of the overall defense strategy.  If you need representation in a federal case involving economic crime or white collar crime, contact Kimberly S. Hodde.
