Federal Offenses Law Firm

 

West Palm Beach Criminal Defense Lawyers

The Suskauer Law Firm provides strategic criminal defense for those accused of federal offenses.

Being accused of or arrested for a federal crime is a very serious matter. Federal offenses are distinguishable by the fact that the activity has been criminalized by the U.S. Congress, rather than the individual states. You may be investigated by the FBI, DEA, IRS, or any number of Federal agencies. The laws and process with federal offenses are complicated and challenging, and it is in the best interest of the accused to obtain legal representation from a criminal defense attorney with experience in Federal Court.

Examples of Federal Offenses Include:

• Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO)
• Kidnapping
• Interstate drug trafficking
• Computer crimes, Internet crimes, child pornography
• White collar crimes, tax evasion, fraud, embezzlement
• Interstate transport of stolen goods
• Bank robbery
• Money laundering

Potential Repercussions for Federal Crimes

Federal crimes may be misdemeanors or felonies. Sentencing is done exclusively by federal judges, who are guided by the United States Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Under the guidelines, the severity of the offense and the extent of your criminal history will largely dictate the sentence you receive. Your sentence also will depend, in part, on whether your decision was to plead guilty or go to trial. Most individuals who are convicted are jailed as part of their sentence. Some may receive heavy fines and very few will receive probation. The harshest sentence an individual can receive, with the exception of the death penalty, is confinement in a federal prison. Parole has been abolished in the federal system.
