NY Federal Crime Defense AttorneysAll crime accusations are serious. Unfortunately, being accused of federal crimes is even more serious than being accused of a state or local offense. What is a federal crime? What are your rights? Read on for answers and more information on finding the right New York federal crimes lawyer. Federal crimes either violate federal laws or take place on property owned by the United States. These crimes run the gamut from simple theft to assault and battery, murder, rape, drug trafficking, kidnapping, immigration offenses, tax evasion, arson, or counterfeiting. Though many federal crimes are prosecuted as more minor misdemeanors, some are felonies and carry very hefty penalties and mandatory minimum sentencing. Federal crimes are tried in special federal courts with their own procedures, regulations, and guidelines. Thus, a federal criminal proceeding can vary dramatically from one held in a local court. Many federal crimes are preceded by a grand jury investigation or indictment, and federal agencies such as the FBI, Secret Service, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and United States Postal Service can get involved. Given the stakes and the increased complications of such cases, it is extremely important that anyone who is even accused or investigated for a federal crime obtain competent and experienced legal counsel as soon as possible.
