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

If you are under investigation for a federal offense, or you have been indicted in federal court, you need an experienced federal defense attorney to represent your case.

In my 2nd year of being a member with AOR. I appreciate knowing they would be there for me if I need them, without looking for exclusion reasons to not do their promise. Thanks AOR!

I love AOR and glad to be a member and affiliate. I hope I never have to use them but it gives me a peace of mind knowing if I ever do, they got my back. Big Thank You to Mr. Belcher. I ran a flyer idea by them due to me being a freedom affiliate and not having a hug following to be an armed affiliate. He informed me that goes against the guidelines and I immediately apologized and assured him I wouldn’t be using them flyer and deleted it from my device. He said he loved my enthusiasm for AOR and he will get with his business development team and brainstorm how they can support me and my individual needs as a freedom affiliate. Fingers crossed he can make something happen but if not, im still proud to be a member.
