If the federal government is charging you with a crime, you should obtain legal counsel right away from a criminal defense lawyer who has experience in federal court defending clients against the same or similar charges that you’re facing.
Some common federal crimes include:
Case-specific experience is important in determining who to hire to represent you. Even though they’re both experienced with federal crimes, a tax evasion attorney, for example, may not have the experience you want and need when facing child pornography charges. And vice versa.
The legal defenses for federal cases depend on what crime was allegedly committed. An experienced federal crime defense attorney will be able to advise you on specific defenses that can be used in your specific case.
Since federal penalties and sentences are usually more severe than those given by Fresno County Superior Court, you want to look for a defense lawyer who can give you that high level of support in handling your case.
