What are Federal Crimes?
A state-level criminal offense, such as a drug crime, may be elevated to a federal crime for various reasons. One of the most common ways in which this occurs is when an individual is arrested by a federal officer or arrested on a federal land. It can also happen when an informant tells law enforcement about a person’s illegal activities.
Particularly serious offenses, such as child pornography and certain computer crimes, may also be charged as federal crimes. Whether you were charged with drug trafficking and distribution, counterfeiting, drug smuggling, or any other federal crime, we can fight for you.
