In the U.S., each state has its own laws, but some laws apply to all people in the United States and some even apply to U.S. Citizens when they are outside of the country.  These are called “federal laws,” and violating one is a “federal crime.” 

Some examples of federal crimes include:

· Terrorism

· Mail fraud

· Wire fraud

· Bank fraud

· Identity theft

· Counterfeiting

· Drug trafficking

· Certain firearm offenses

If you have been charged with a federal crime, you face prosecution by the United States Attorney's Office/Department of Justice. These are very powerful organizations. They are backed by the federal government, meaning they have access to vast resources and manpower. 

To effectively combat these charges, you need representation from a highly skilled and experienced attorney.

The government follows complex regulations when penalizing someone for a federal crime. These guidelines dictate the minimum and maximum sentences for each crime. Federal sentencing, however, is not set in stone. Federal judges have quite a bit of discretion and they can deviate from sentencing guidelines. 

Some factors a federal judge may consider when sentencing include:

· The harm the crime caused

· The defendant’s criminal history

· The circumstances surrounding the crime

· The level of the defendant’s involvement in the crime

· Whether the defendant has accepted responsibility for the crime

Federal sentencing can be harsh, and if you are facing federal charges, you need a defense attorney

. Our team will help gather and develop the evidence and information needed to fight for the lowest sentence possible.

Federal penalties depend on the specifics of the case and a person's criminal history. However, even if someone has a clean record, a guilty verdict can have steep penalties and big consequences. Federal crimes are punishable by lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, and other severe penalties.

Here are some examples of federal crimes and their penalties:

· Wire Fraud: Up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,00

· Mail Fraud: Up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1,000,000

· Bank Fraud: Up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $1,000,000

· Counterfeiting: Up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000

· Drug Trafficking: Up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000,000

As you can see, federal crimes carry incredibly severe penalties that can change your life forever.

The federal criminal process is very different from the state process. Federal agencies, such as the FBI, the DEA, and the ATF investigate federal crimes. These agencies are highly skilled, have extensive resources, and are known for conducting thorough and aggressive investigations. If you have been charged with a federal crime, the federal government probably has a strong case against you.

Remember, however, that a charge does not mean a conviction. You have the right to defend yourself, and we can help you do just that. 

When you choose our firm, we can:

· Prepare Your Defense for Trial
If your case goes to trial, we can present your defense to a jury. We understand the law, evidence, and effective strategies to help win your case.

· Negotiate with the Prosecutor/United States Attorney
In many cases, we can negotiate a plea agreement with the United States Attorney prosecuting the case against you. This scenario involves pleading guilty to some or all of the charges against you. In exchange, you typically receive a better sentence.

· Investigate the Case Against You
We can conduct a thorough investigation, scrutinizing the evidence and looking for any weakness in the government's case. We can also search high and low for evidence that supports your defense.

· File Motions to Suppress Evidence
If the government violated your rights during the investigation, our attorney can file a motion to suppress any illegally obtained evidence. A successful motion could exclude that evidence from your case, or it could lead to a full dismissal.

Our federal crimes defense team is here to help you. If you are facing such charges, contact us right away.
