Federal Crime Cases We Handle
You can learn more about specific federal crimes and the steps our legal team can take to challenge these offenses by reviewing the following subjects:
Bank Fraud
This federal crime involves defrauding a financial institution. A person may face bank fraud charges for defrauding or attempting to defraud a bank or other similar institution, even if the scheme is unsuccessful. Devising the scheme and taking a step toward its completion may be sufficient for bank fraud charges.
Child Pornography
An extremely serious offense due to the fact that it is a sex crime that can be charged on a federal level, child pornography involves the possession, creation, distribution, or sale of pornographic material depicting minors. In addition to facing imprisonment and fines, a defendant convicted of this type of offense may face lifetime sex offender registration.
Drug Trafficking
Manufacturing, selling, possessing for sale, or distributing controlled substances may fall under the category of drug trafficking. When state lines or national borders are crossed or a substantial amount of drugs are involved, federal agencies are likely to investigate and prosecute these cases.
Kidnapping
Taking and holding another person against his or her will is the basic definition of kidnapping, and if state lines or national borders are crossed or the victim is a government official, the FBI or other federal agencies may become involved. Depending on the case, a defendant may face life in prison for kidnapping.
RICO Charges
Difference Between State & Federal Crimes
Because federal crimes differ from state crimes in many ways - including the investigating agencies, procedures, and more serious penalties and prison terms – it is essential for anyone facing federal charges to work with attorneys who are not only licensed to practice in federal court but who also have extensive experience dealing with federal prosecutors, federal law enforcement, and the steps needed to help accused individuals secure the most successful outcome possible when the stakes are high.
