Ann Fitz on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court

Ann Fitz is a former prosecutor and has 20 years of experience as a federal criminal and appellate practice attorney. She is licensed in numerous states and federal jurisdictions, including all federal District Courts in Florida and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

As a seasoned federal criminal defense attorney, Ann understands that every client’s circumstances are unique. That’s why she takes a client-centric approach on every case to properly assess the strengths and weaknesses of the government’s allegations.

Ann has defended many high-profile federal criminal cases in throughout the country and has been recognized as a leader in federal criminal defense by Super Lawyers, the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys, the National Association of Distinguished Counsel, and other legal organizations.

Why should I hire Ann to represent me in federal court?

Not every defense attorney is qualified to handle federal criminal cases; in fact, most criminal defense lawyers don’t handle cases in federal court.

Federal criminal cases are often considered to be more complex than state-level cases because they involve complicated laws, procedural rules, and sentencing guidelines that require expertise to navigate. Also, federal investigators take months, sometimes years, to build cases against defendants – all that time gathering evidence and bolstering their cases, which often means sifting through voluminous discovery to determine what is relevant.

Many criminal defense attorneys either don’t have the time or the patience to properly review evidence but Ann Fitz purposely limits her practice to federal cases, dedicating herself to a thorough investigation of each one of her cases. Whether it’s strategic planning, trial work, plea negotiations, sentencing hearings or post-conviction representation, Ann has proven herself to be a successful federal litigator.

Will Ann encourage me to enter a plea when I want to go to trial?

One of the biggest decisions you have to make when facing federal criminal charges is whether to go to trial or take a plea.

The federal government has an extremely high rate of conviction at trial, but that doesn’t mean you should just roll over and take a plea. Some of the considerations that go into the decision of whether to go to trial or enter a plea include the weight of the government’s evidence and what your potential sentence may be. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what you may have done, it matters whether the government has the evidence to prove that you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Ann Fitz will never encourage you to resolve your case by either going to trial or entering a plea – she will advise you of your options and let you make the decision. She prepares every case as if it is going to go to trial, reviewing the evidence with you and ensuring that appropriate motions are filed, so that your defense strategy is strong no matter what you decide to do.
