You Need A Strong Defense Lawyer For Federal Charges

Federal criminal charges are more serious than many state-level offenses. For one, they often carry mandatory minimum jail sentences, which means the judge doesn’t have the ability to soften a federal prison sentence. For another, the federal court system is different from the state system, and you need a lawyer who is well-versed at the federal level.

What Exactly Is A Federal Offense?

A federal criminal offense is a violation of a law enacted by Congress rather than state law. Federal charges encompass a wide range of categories, including:

  • Drug offenses such as trafficking and conspiracy
  • White collar crimes such as mail fraud, extortion, money laundering and racketeering
  • Sex offenses and child pornography charges
  • Sex trafficking, including prostitution
  • Homicide and murder in various degrees
  • Terrorism-related charges
