Understanding Federal Charges and Potential Consequences

The penalties for a federal crime conviction can vary greatly, but these offenses are typically more serious than state crimes and can carry harsher penalties. Federal misdemeanors can involve fines of up to $5,000 or $100,000, for instance, while carrying possible sentences of up to 30 days to 1 year in federal prison. Federal felonies can range from fines of $5,000 to $250,000, and federal prison sentences of up to 5 years to life. The defense attorneys at our firm have experience defending clients against a wide range of federal charges. We understand the complex nature of this area of law, and we are committed to providing you with the best possible representation. Some of the federal charges we defend clients against include:

Decoding Federal Sentencing Guidelines

Since 1987, federal sentencing guidelines were established that codified harsh prison sentences. While they’re meant to be guidelines that a federal judge can deviate from, a judge can only decide to soften a sentence if they can cite a clear reason why the law would allow them to do so. Not only are federal sentences generally much harsher than any sentence California law would mete out for the same crime, but not every defense lawyer has experience in federal court. The procedures, statutes, and sentencing are all different from a typical criminal lawyer’s bread and butter. If you’re being investigated for a federal crime, you need a federal defense lawyer who has extensive experience in federal court, and who ideally can prevent formal charges from ever being filed.
