Reputation, however, is about far more than respect. Federal Criminal Attorneys of Michigan are unafraid to go to trial to defend a good case. At the same time, we understand that, on some occasions, the trial may not be the best course of action. We come to this conclusion only after the most thorough review. However, the fact that we pose a threat to go to trial—and win—is plainly understood throughout Michigan’s federal court system. Our team leverages this reputation to fight for the best deals for our clients when necessary. Book a consultation with our attorneys today.
What Are Federal Crimes?
Federal crimes are offenses that violate U.S. laws and fall under the jurisdiction of federal authorities such as the FBI, DEA, and Department of Justice. These crimes involve interstate or international activity, financial misconduct, or acts against government institutions. Unlike state-level crimes, federal crimes are handled in federal courts and often carry harsher penalties.
Examples of federal crimes include:
- Drug trafficking
- Mail fraud
- Wire fraud
- Identity theft
- Bank robbery
- Money laundering
- Child exploitation
Additionally, offenses such as counterfeiting U.S. currency, tax evasion, immigration violations, and cybercrimes fall under federal jurisdiction. Because these charges often involve extensive investigations and substantial evidence, a strong legal defense is essential
At Federal Criminal Attorneys of Michigan, we have comprehensive knowledge of federal procedures, court systems, and prosecutorial tactics. With over three decades of experience typing cases in Michigan’s federal courts, we are well-prepared to protect your rights, freedom, and future.
How Do Federal and State Crimes Differ?
Criminal offenses in the United States are prosecuted at either the state or federal level, depending on the nature and scope of the crime. State crimes violate state laws and are prosecuted in state courts by local or state authorities; common examples include theft, assault, and DUI offenses.
By contrast, federal crimes involve violations of federal laws enacted by Congress and are prosecuted in federal courts by federal agencies such as the FBI or DEA. These offenses often cross state lines or involve federal interests, including crimes like drug trafficking, mail fraud, and offenses committed on federal property.
