Joshua Sabert Lowther, Esq., and Murdoch Walker, II, Esq., are accomplished federal criminal defense attorneys. Their practice focuses on the representation of persons and corporations that have been accused or convicted of committing federal crimes. They also represent clients in state courts, and before administrative agencies and tribunals, in cases in which the United States of America, or the “Government,” defers a federal investigation or prosecution to state or administrative authorities for resolution. Mr. Lowther and Mr. Walker represent both individual and corporate clients during all stages of federal criminal prosecutions and post-conviction relief matters, including pre-indictment investigations, proffers of evidence, pre-trial litigation, jury and non-jury trials, sentencing hearings, direct and discretionary appeals, habeas corpus actions, sentence reductions and modifications, early-terminations and alleged violations of probation and supervised release, both civil and criminal asset-forfeiture actions, and international extraditions. They take a very aggressive approach to defending clients, and have achieved outstanding results for them in federal trial and appellate courts throughout the nation.
Mr. Lowther and Mr. Walker have the ability to represent any client in any federal trial, appellate, administrative, or tribal court in the nation, and they are available to do so at anytime.
Federal criminal cases are vastly different from other types of criminal cases. The rules of procedure are unbending; the charges are usually complex; and the penalties are severe. Furthermore, the Government spares no expense or resource in its attempting to obtain convictions and seizing the valuable assets of individuals and corporations that are under investigation for, or have been charged with, the alleged commission of federal crimes. If you are a subject or the target of a federal investigation, your or your corporation’s assets have been seized, or you have been charged with a federal crime, you need serious and experienced legal representation. That is what Mr. Lowther and Mr. Walker provide: innovative and effective solutions to your federal criminal problems.
Mr. Lowther and Mr. Walker are the founding partners of the federal criminal defense law firm Lowther | Walker LLC, which is based in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm’s proximity to the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport provides Mr. Lowther and Mr. Walker easy access to multiple, daily-scheduled flights, which enables them to represent clients anywhere in the nation on a moment’s notice. This proximity also makes them and their firm easily accessible to those clients, regardless of whether they travel to those clients, or those clients choose to travel to them. Mr. Lowther and Mr. Walker understand the time-sensitive nature of federal criminal cases, and they are ready to take on the fight at any time.
Mr. Lowther and Mr. Walker welcome the opportunity to win your case.
United States v. J.C.: The FDIC-OIG investigated our client, a federal employee, for Bank Fraud and Perjury, based on the client's obtaining over $600,000 in mortgage loans by allegedly submitting multiple materially false loan applications to several FDIC-insured financial institutions and allegedly testifying falsely before a federal grand jury. We convinced the Government not to prosecute our client.
United States v. K.J.: The US Secret Service investigated our client for Wire Fraud, Theft, and Embezzlement, based on the client's allegedly diverting over $100,000 from one of the client's former employer's business bank accounts to the client's personal bank account. We convinced the Government not to prosecute our client.
United States v. R.M., et al.: The FBI and HHS-OIG investigated our client for Health Care Fraud based on the client's allegedly submitting over $7 million in false claims to Medicare for payment. The Government indicted our client on multiple felony offenses, including Conspiracy to commit Health Care Fraud, Health Care Fraud, Aggravated Identity Theft, and False Statements. On the first day of trial, after jury selection, we convinced the Government to enter into an agreement by which our client pled guilty to a Class B misdemeanor offense, with a guaranteed sentence of probation. Although all of the other defendants were convicted of felony offenses and sentenced to terms of imprisonment of up to 133 months, we convinced the District Court to sentence our client to three years of probation, with no restitution obligation.
United States v. C.S.: The FBI investigated our client, a member of the activist collective Anonymous, for Computer Fraud, based on the client's allegedly participating in a distributed denial of service ("DDOS") attack on a corporate website as a part of Operation Wisconsin or "#OpWisconsin," purportedly causing over $1 million in damages. Prior to the Government's indicting our client, we convinced the prosecutors to enter into an agreement by which our client pled guilty to a Class A misdemeanor, with a recommendation for a sentence of probation. We convinced the District Court to sentence our client to three years of probation.
United States v. J.A.: The FDIC-OIG, HUD-OIG, and FHFA-OIG investigated our client, a real-estate broker, for Mail Fraud, Wire Fraud, and Bank Fraud, based on the client's allegedly conspiring to obtain $1.7 million in fraudulent mortgage loans by submitting multiple materially false loan applications to several FDIC-insured financial institutions. Notwithstanding the overwhelming evidence against our client, we convinced the Government to enter into an agreement by which our client pled guilty to a Class D felony. We then convinced the District Court to sentence our client to three years of probation.
United States v. J.W.: The FBI and IRS-CI investigated our client, a bank employee, for Bank Fraud, based on the client's allegedly conspiring to cash over $138,000.00 in US Treasury checks that were issued as a result of a separate tax-refund fraud conspiracy. We convinced the Government to enter into a plea agreement by which our client pled guilty to a Class A misdemeanor offense, with no opposition to our request for a sentence of probation. We ultimately convinced the assigned US Probation Officer and the prosecutors to join our request for a sentence of five years of probation prior to sentencing, which the District Court granted.
United States v. F.A.P., et al. The FBI investigated (and the Government indicted) our client for Aiding and Abetting another person's traveling in interstate commerce with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor. After our conducting our own investigation of the case, we convinced the Government to dismiss all charges two weeks before the trial was to begin.
