FEDERAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Representing With Respect

If you have been charged with a Federal Criminal offense, you need an experienced Federal Criminal Defense Attorney to represent you. Federal Criminal cases are generally more severe than those crimes prosecuted in state criminal court. Federal agencies that investigate the crimes are usually better funded and staffed. These cases are not your average street crime but rather usually complex matters. The federal criminal system is the big leagues of criminal defense and you need an experienced, aggressive and relentless federal criminal defense attorney at your side.

โ€‹

Federal criminal charges are different from state criminal charges in important ways, including:
โ€‹
  • Federal crimes tend to carry longer sentences and larger fines than state crimes.

  • Federal law enforcement officers and prosecutors usually spend more time and effort on each case. This shows in the average conviction rate, which is around 97% for federal criminal cases.

  • Federal criminal prosecutions tend to involve more complex legal and factual issues, and a larger volume of evidence.  

  • Pretrial release is an important factor, because federal cases can take a long time to resolve.

 

Given all of these factors, an effective defense in a federal criminal case requires a dedicated, skilled, and experienced federal criminal defense lawyer, who is familiar with the federal courts and the federal criminal law.
