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.

Attorneys for Freedom is super friendly and very relationship oriented. I felt at home the moment I... sat down. My lawyer Andy and paralegal Brittany were awesome. My case was unique and required research that would have been instrumental to navigating my case had it moved to a formal charge. Fortunately, the case sort of resolved without further legal intervention. I would definitely hire them again (I hope I don't need to).read more

I can not say enough about my experience with Attorneys For Freedom and especially Rachel Moss. I... was involved in an extremely stressful situation and I experienced her as very compassionate and open to my concerns. She was able to synthesize and relate the germane issues about the situation with me and I really appreciated that she was open and able to also consult with other attorneys in the office. I found Rachel to be knowledgeable, reliable and available. She (and the firm) get 5+ stars from me and I would recommend her (and A4F) without reservation to others.read more
