Federal Crimes

In our country, most powers and laws are reserved to the individual states. However, some powers are held on to by the federal government. These powers are designed to promote the peaceful coexistence and interactions of the individual states as well as to protect the sovereign status of our nation. Even though most crimes are governed by state statute, there is overlap and a wealth of independent criminal laws governed by the federal government. When the federal government knocks on your door and accuses you of federal crimes, you will want the services of an experienced, relentless, and energetic criminal defense lawyer on your side. You will be in for a long, hard fought, fight.

The most common federal crimes brought by the United States Attorney’s Office are conspiracy, wire fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering – although there are many others. These are the most typical offenses because by their very nature they are malleable, flexible, and open to the creative interpretation of the Assistant United States Attorney prosecuting your case. The charges can encompass many areas including narcotics, investment schemes, mortgage schemes, terrorism, and organized crime.
