The federal government is arguably the most powerful prosecutorial organization in the world, and they have the money and resources to vigorously pursue charges against you. That is why you need a skilled Phoenix federal criminal defense lawyer standing by your side. When you are facing federal charges, an attorney can obtain and analyze all of the evidence being used against you by federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies. However, this is not the only evidence that your attorney will rely on.
Your federal crime defense lawyer should have the resources to conduct their own investigation into the case against you in an effort to uncover additional evidence or to show that the evidence being used by prosecutors is wrong. An attorney can:
After thoroughly investigating your case, your attorney can work to negotiate with all parties involved in an effort to get the charges against you reduced or dismissed. If you are convicted of a crime, your attorney can work to obtain favorable sentencing.
Importantly, a defense attorney understands that federal cases are vastly different from other types of criminal cases that a person may face in Arizona. The rules of procedure for federal court are very different from that of the state court. These charges are complex and not every criminal defense attorney in Phoenix has the knowledge or experience to handle a federal crimes case.
There are a variety of federal offenses that a person could face in Phoenix. It is important to remember that federal charges will often have nothing to do with local or state law violations (though there are times when a person can face both state and federal charges). Some of the most common federal offenses a person can face include the following:
Some federal crimes are considered “white collar” offenses that are non-violent in nature. However, many of the offenses at the federal level are considered violent. Contact our Phoenix federal criminal defense attorney for help understanding your federal charges.
The penalties for federal offenses are typically much harsher than the penalties a person could face for violations of state crimes. This is true for a variety of reasons, including:
For all of the crimes listed above and other federal offenses not on the list, there are various penalties associated with the particular offense. Many federal crimes carry penalties of years in federal prison upon conviction, along with significant fines as well as tremendous probation requirements upon release.
Just like with crimes at the Arizona state level, you will have the right to an attorney if you are charged with a federal crime. However, it is strongly recommended that you not rely on a federal public defender to handle your case. This is not to say that public defenders do not do their jobs well – they often do. However, a federal public defender is most certainly going to be overworked and you will be just one of the dozens of cases they may be handling.
