Federal Crimes

The most common federal offenses clients face are:

• Federal Firearms Offenses
• Federal Drug Trafficking
• Federal Mail & Wire Fraud
• Federal Money Laundering
• Federal Tax Crimes
• Federal Government Corruption

Federal criminal cases are vastly different from state criminal cases in that federal criminal investigations and prosecutions are handled by well-funded law enforcement agencies and staffed by experienced investigators and prosecutors, who have virtually unlimited resources at their disposal.

More importantly, federal crimes generally carry stiffer sentences than state crimes, especially in the areas of drug trafficking, conspiracy, child pornography and other sexual offenses. The mandatory minimum penalties and federal sentencing guidelines usually result in very lengthy sentences for people convicted of federal crimes. Lengthy sentences and the experience and vast resources of federal prosecutors are two of the main reasons it is so important to retain a lawyer with a record of success in federal court if the case is being prosecuted in federal court.

Given the severity and complexity of federal criminal investigations and prosecutions, anyone charged with a federal crime should retain a lawyer who has extensive experience in federal criminal defense.
