Federal Crimes

The Cochran Firm

A federal crime is a criminal offense that is committed on federal property or that violates federal laws.  In many cases, when a person is charged with committing a federal crime, he/she will also be charged with a state crime.  This means that instead of having to fight a single set of charges, the person will be facing multiple criminal offenses at once.  For this reason, federal crimes should always be taken seriously as people who are convicted face years in prison, hefty fines and other types of life-altering legal repercussions.

Serious Federal Crimes

There are numerous different types of federal crimes a person can commit.  However, the most frequently committed federal crimes are:  drug crimes, kidnapping, white collar crimes, murder, fraud, terrorism, criminal threats, extortion, money laundering, RICO, crimes against children, sex crimes and immigration offenses.

Federal Crime Lawyers

If you have been charged with a federal crime, it is important that you know you are facing some of the toughest legal penalties imaginable.  Unlike state crimes, federal crimes are investigated and prosecuted by federal agencies in U.S. federal courts.  This presents an entirely different playing field and set of circumstances as federal prosecutors are highly-trained, aggressive and strive to obtain convictions.  For this reason, anytime a person has been charged with a federal offense, he/she needs to hire a defense attorney that has prior experience handling cases at the federal level.
