Biography
Attorney Profile – Neil Schuster
Neil M. Schuster is a Federal criminal defense lawyer with over 30 years of experience. Based in Miami, Florida, Mr. Schuster serves clients throughout the United States and Latin America in all types of federal court proceedings, including investigations, trials, plea negotiations, sentencings, direct appeals, habeas corpus, collateral attacks upon conviction, claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, extraditions, and new trial motions. Mr. Schuster specializes in representing individuals charged with or convicted of federal crimes.
For a number of years, Mr. Schuster simultaneously maintained offices in Denver, Colorado and Miami. Those years included a period of time during which the Organized Crime Mountain State’s Drug Task Force initiated the largest prosecutions in the Western United States. During the 1980’s, Mr. Schuster provided counsel to numerous out-of-state law firms while litigating complicated Title III wiretap issues and suppression motions during grand jury investigatory proceedings. Through such litigation, Mr. Schuster obtained the highest ranking from Martindale-Hubbel which asks fellow lawyers and judges to label the expertise of practitioners. Over the years, Schuster has successfully litigated against the government in very significant cases.
With regard to substantive criminal appeals, particularly rewarding and often cited by defense counsel is the opinion rendered in United States v. Harvey, 78 F.3d 501 (11th Cir. 1996). On appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, from the Middle District of Florida, Schuster successfully vacated the life sentence imposed against alleged drug kingpin William Harvey. This case represents one of the very few victorious challenges against a Continuing Criminal Enterprise conviction in this Circuit. Schuster convinced the appellate court that the prosecution misrepresented the facts during oral argument before the higher court and was able to convince the Eleventh Circuit to permit supplementary briefing in order to correct misstatements by the prosecution.
