What To Do If You Are Charged With A Federal Crime

Attorney Marc J. Victor

People often come to the Attorneys For Freedom office after they are charged with a federal offense. What does it mean to be charged with a federal offense? How is this different than a state offense? Federal offenses are very different than state offenses.

There are many criminal defense attorneys out there, but very few of them are licensed to practice in federal court. It may be surprising to some that you need to be admitted to federal court and not all criminal defense attorneys are. In fact, very few, a small percentage of them are admitted to federal court and an even smaller percentage of them actually go to federal court on a regular basis.

If you are charged with a criminal offense in federal court, it’s very important that you get a criminal defense attorney who regularly appears in federal court. The rules in federal court are dramatically different than the rules in state court. They have different crimes, different rules of criminal procedure, and different rules of evidence. They’re processed through the justice system differently. If you are convicted, there are federal sentencing guidelines unlike anything in the state system.

So if you’re charged with a federal crime, you really need to seek out a criminal defense attorney who has lots of experience and regularly appears in the federal courts. Contact the Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm to schedule a Strategy Session to discuss your Federal Case.

I had a helpful interaction with Ms.Loya - 10/10 customer service.

I've investigated testimonials, consumed the YouTube, and watched the video combing through agreement.
It's a little corny, but this law firm is like that blindfolded lady holding a balance: they don't care about your color, culture or dialect - they care about your freedom and justice.

I'm a Baptist so I go into all kinds of bad neighborhoods and apartments, I interact with all kinds of people. I've seen the pit bulls, I've seen the thugs, and I've been pulled into arguments and yelled at.
If I ever pepper-spray a dog and it doesn't go over well, I'm calling these guys. Lol
And if God forbid I have to defend my life or someone else's, AOR is the horse I have prepared for battle.
This is aggressive legal defense, this is what they do everyday for decades - and they have freedom and justice in mind.

I had some issues setting up my account for AOR CCW insurance, specifically with the payment portion, which kept giving me an error. Derek helped me get the account activated and resolved the issue quickly. He had a great, peaceful, and helpful attitude throughout the process. Excellent customer service.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your kind words! We are lucky to have Derek! Another USMC member of our team too!

I can’t recommend this firm enough! From start to finish Crystal and Attorney Emma Wittmann, they provided guidance, support, and care that truly set them apart from other lawyers I’ve encountered. Unlike firms that seem focused only on money, this team genuinely cares about people and takes the time to guide you. I am so grateful for their expertise and kindness, they made a stressful process so much easier to understand

Joey N. Hamby, Esq really went above and beyond for my case. He answered my call in the middle of the night when I was unsure of how to handle the situation regarding a order of protection. after that, he followed up with the case. Joey ensured that all of my legal fees were taken care of and I was in the hands of a good attorney. He also continued to check up on me throughout the course of the time. afterwards, He followed up to ensure that I was satisfied with all service. I would highly recommend using him and A.O.R. and also understand that they do more than just protect you in shooting instances. It covers a lot more than just that. my legal fees would have been well in excess of eight thousand dollars. If I had to pay them out of pocket.
