Chances are, if you are ever facing criminal charges, it will be charged at the State level. But some crimes get charged at the federal level and will be processed through the Federal courts. In these cases, you will need to seek representation from a federal criminal defense attorney. Not all attorneys are able to handle Federal cases, so it’s important to find an attorney who has been admitted to Federal Court.
The penalties and sentencing in federal courts are generally much harsher and require an understanding of federal guidelines. Most criminal defense attorneys either are not licensed to go to federal court or have no experience representing people charged with federal crimes in federal court.
There are fewer crimes charged at the federal level than the state level so these crimes are usually more serious and would have had a specific reason to be charged at the federal level.
Some of the reasons why a crime might be charged at the federal level may include:
- The crime took place on federal property.
- The defendant crossed state lines.
- The crime was a violation of a federal statute.
- The crime involved federal officers.
- The crime involved fraud, deception, or misrepresentation of the federal government.
- The crime Involved immigration and customs violations.
