What should I do if I am under investigation for a federal crime?

  • If you're under investigation for a federal crime, it's crucial to exercise your right to remain silent and seek legal counsel immediately. Anything you say can be used against you in court. Contacting an experienced federal criminal defense attorney can help protect your rights and guide you through the process.

How does a federal criminal case differ from a state criminal case?

  • Federal cases are prosecuted by the United States Government and often involve violations of federal law, which can carry more severe penalties than state crimes. They are typically tried in federal courts, which have different rules of procedure. An attorney with federal court experience is essential in these cases due to the complexities involved.

What are the steps in the federal criminal process?

  • The federal criminal process starts with an investigation, which may lead to an arrest or indictment. After the indictment, the case moves to arraignment, then a series of pre-trial motions, the trial itself, and possibly sentencing. Each stage requires strategic planning and a deep understanding of federal law.
