Federal Crimes
Certain offenses violate federal criminal laws, which have more serious penalties that state criminal charges. If you are charged with a federal crime, you will be charged with a federal crime and taken to federal court. It is imperative that you hire an experienced New York criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.

- Mail fraud

SENTENCING FOR FEDERAL OFFENSES
Federal crimes carry longer prison sentences and heavier fines than what is typically sentenced for New York State offenses. Under federal sentencing guidelines, these offenses carry heavy minimum sentences that federal judges are required to impose. Conviction for a federal crime will often result in a minimum sentence of five years, and in many cases defendants receive sentences of 20 years to life in federal prison.
HIRING THE RIGHT ATTORNEY FOR YOUR FEDERAL CASE
Federal agencies are usually better funded and have more staff to devote to their investigations, and federal prosecutors are typically very experienced and have more resources available to help them prosecute cases. Because of the unique challenges involved in these cases, it is important to retain the representation of a New York criminal defense attorney who understands the complexities of the federal court system.
