Being under investigation for any crime can be frightening, but the stakes are much higher if the federal government is investigating you or if you have been charged with any type of federal offense.
There are a number of reasons why it is much more serious for California residents to face federal charges than to be prosecuted for a state offense. Federal authorities have more resources to devote to investigations to prove guilt, and penalties are typically much more severe in circumstances where a defendant is convicted of a federal offense instead of being convicted in the state where he lives.
Federal prosecutors also frequently use the threat of mandatory minimum sentences to get defendants to admit guilt, regardless of whether those defendants actually did anything wrong, so you could find yourself pressured to acknowledge wrongdoing even when you’re innocent.
These are just some of the many reasons why you need to take federal charges very seriously. And, to do that, you will need to work with federal criminal lawyers who have the knowledge, skill and ability to fight charges against you and to help you get the most favorable possible outcomes. Not every attorney can represent clients in federal court or has the knowledge or ability to successfully provide such representation, so finding the right attorney can be the key to your future.
