That's why we are dedicated to providing skilled and experienced representation to clients needing federal criminal defense.
Understanding Federal Crimes
Federal crimes are offenses that violate laws enacted by the United States Congress and are prosecuted by federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). These crimes often involve activities that cross state lines, occur on federal property, or significantly impact interstate commerce.
Federal crimes range from white-collar offenses such as fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering to drug trafficking, weapons offenses, and serious violent crimes. The penalties for federal crimes are typically more severe than those for state crimes, including lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, and the possibility of asset forfeiture.
