Honolulu Federal Criminal Defense Attorney

If you have been charged with a crime, there are many criminal defense attorneys to choose from. But, if you are facing federal charges, your choices will be limited. That’s because not all criminal defense attorneys are licensed in federal court.

Federal crimes are offenses that are in violation of federal laws. In practice, federal interest is very broadly defined and can include almost any crime. These cases will be tried in Federal Court and prosecuted by US attorneys and presided over by federal judges. These cases may fall under federal jurisdiction because the crime that was alleged crossed state lines. Federal crimes can carry penalties that are far more severe than those in state courts.

The evidentiary rules, criminal procedures, and sentencing guidelines are completely different in the Federal System. If you have been charged with any federal offense it is very important that you make sure the attorney, you are consulting with is licensed and has experience handling federal criminal law matters. Federal offenses can either be felonies or misdemeanors depending on the severity of the crime and the degree of punishment that will be imposed by the government.

Federal conviction rates are over 90% for those who are prosecuted in Federal Court. For this reason, it is crucial that you hire an experienced federal criminal defense attorney to represent you if you have been charged with a federal crime. When your freedom is at stake, don’t trust it to an attorney who does not have experience in federal matters.

Federal crimes can include:

  • Counterfeiting
  • Bank Robbery
  • Immigration Violations
  • Computer Crimes
  • Drug Trafficking
  • Money Laundering
  • Organized Crime
  • White Collar Crimes

This firm is a pleasure to deal with, Mike Wasdin was excellent and patient. I'am new at this, and he couldn't be nicer, my wife and I signed up and Mike walked us through it all. Attorney's For Freedom, and Attorneys on Retainer, are the best by far, very precise and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend them for any legal matter, including great self defense options.

They make the other (conceal carry) firms irrelevant.
