About Federal Crimes

If you are being investigated for a federal crime or have been charged with a federal crime, the situation is potentially very serious. Federal crimes are taken very seriously by law enforcement and are prosecuted aggressively by federal government. Federal crimes usually carry penalties much more severe than their criminal counterparts under California law, and can include lengthy sentences in federal prison. The federal court system is completely different than the state court system, and federal prosecutors often have more resources at their disposal and are much less inclined to offer plea bargains.
