By Tresa Baldas Detroit Free Press Staff Writer Bill Swor, a prominent criminal defense attorney who has defended terrorism cases in the past, said the charges suggest that the federal government is “being cautious in how they charge the case.” “They don’t want to make it bigger than it really is,” Swor said. “(The charges

“When you’ve got a defendant who has received as substantial a sentence as Bobby Ferguson did, it seems that either the government doesn’t have confidence in the previous conviction or is just engaging in piling on,” veteran defense lawyer William Swor said Monday.
Like the corruption trial, the bid-rigging case alleges Ferguson capitalized on his friendship with Kilpatrick to fix bids and receive millions in public contracts.
“To the extent the two cases are inter-related, there’s an argument that (a conviction) would be concurrent, so why is the government wasting all of these additional taxpayer dollars?” Swor asked.
I have had the best of intentions to share the great experience I had dealing with Mr. Swor and his team. After being acquitted, it has taken time to try and get my life back to what it used to be. That being said, as I continue to get back on my feet, I will forever be grateful.I retained Mr. Willam Swor as my attorney in September 2014. On my way back home to Canada from a routine business trip, I was accused of smuggling cocaine into America. This accusation if convicted, carried a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years. Needless to say this was the start of a 6 month nightmare that I would never have imagined and had the possibility of becoming a 10 year nightmare if convicted. Mr. Swor and his dedicated and brilliant legal team did everything within their power, scouring the globe to find evidence to confirm my innocence.During the whole legal process, Mr. Swor displayed empathy through his actions providing assurance, continuous communication and support to my wife, two young sons, extended family and friends.In March of 2015, I was acquitted of all charges . I was able to go back home and be with my family. Mr. Swor and his team believed in me and helped me prove my innocence. Thank you
