Federal Crime Defense Representation

If you’ve been charged with a federal crime, your case will be heard in federal court. 
The federal court system is drastically different than the state court system. Because you allegedly violated federal law, the U.S. Government has jurisdiction over your case. This means that an Assistant United States Attorney or federal prosecutor, along with federal agents from certain law enforcement agencies (FBI, IRS, DOJ, DEA, etc.) will be responsible for investigating and prosecuting your case.
