What are the Federal Sentencing Guidelines?
Federal Sentencing Guidelines are a complex set of rules used to determine a recommended prison sentence relying on both the “offense level” and the “criminal history category.” Although these guidelines are now advisory rather than mandatory, judges continue to give them significant weight. A skilled criminal defense attorney can assess the specifics of your case and estimate the applicable guideline range. Some charges also involve mandatory minimum sentences.
