Crimes Prosecuted in Federal Court
The United States government may choose to prosecute a wide variety of crimes in federal court, including white collar crimes, drug offenses, and certain violent crimes. Regardless of the charges, our firm believes that every person deserves quality representation, whether facing charges in state or federal court.
Charges that are most often brought to federal court include:
- Bankruptcy fraud
- Medicare and Medicaid fraud
- Money laundering
- Embezzlement
- Tax evasion or tax fraud
- Bribery and extortion
- Drug trafficking or manufacturing
- Weapons offenses
- Child pornography
- Sex crimes
The penalties for conviction in federal court are often more serious than similar charges prosecuted in state court. Additionally, conviction rates tend to be higher in federal court. For these reasons, you should seek legal representation from a knowledgeable defense attorney with experience facing U.S. attorneys in federal court.
