State and federal crimes differ based on a number of factors. In some cases, however, you may face both state and federal charges. For example, drug charges may result in a violation of both state and federal law. Generally, the federal charges come into play if the drugs or money crossed state lines or there were gangs involved that may violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
Federal cases are heard out of a separate courthouse than their state counterparts. In Las Vegas, federal crimes are prosecuted out of the United States Attorney’s Office, District of Nevada. It is essential to ensure that you retain an attorney who has practiced out of this courthouse and is familiar with the unique set of procedures for federal court.
Federal crimes are only charged when there has been a violation of a federal law. Therefore, the vast majority of criminal cases fall under the purview of the state. However, in some cases, the federal government will get involved.
Federal prosecutors generally cover the following types of cases:
Many times, federal charges are filed when the crime or crimes cross state lines. For instance, when drugs or people are trafficked beyond Nevada and into a neighboring state. The same is true about white-collar crimes involving wire fraud that take place across several states.
Federal crimes are prosecuted by the United States District Attorney’s Office. Federal prosecutors out of the District of Nevada will work in conjunction with federal agencies to investigate potential violations of federal law.
Federal prosecutors work with the following agencies to secure indictments:
If you receive notification that you are being investigated by one of these agencies, you need to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. You could be facing federal charges.
It is imperative that you speak with a federal crimes attorney immediately after you are arrested or receive notice that you are being investigated for violating a federal offense. Federal crimes generally receive harsher sentences compared to state crimes. Without the help of a lawyer, you could be looking at substantial time in a federal prison.
It is also important to remember that you should consult with and retain an attorney with substantial experience handling federal cases. Federal crimes are not the same as state crimes. You need a lawyer who knows federal law and is familiar with practicing out of federal court.
