Criminal Defense in Florida Federal Court
​
Federal crimes are defined as those that take place on federal property or are violations of laws passed by Congress. Federal criminal defense is provided for crimes involving violations of the U.S. Constitution, interstate commerce violations, offenses that cross state lines, and other crimes specified by federal law. Federal crimes are prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and investigated by powerful agencies of the United States Government like the FBI, Drug Enforcement Agency, the IRS, Federal Drug administration, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. Punishment for federal crimes is usually more serious than for state crimes. Many federal offenses carry a mandatory five to ten year prison sentence.
Some crimes prosecuted in Federal Court include:
•Aggravated Assault
•Armed Robbery
•Arson
•ATF Violation
•Bank Robbery
•Bribery
•Child Pornography
•Criminal Appeals
•Employee Embezzlement
•Espionage

Federal Criminal Defense Attorney
​
The federal criminal system is very different than the state system. Federal criminal practice rules are far more complex and rigid. Important federal criminal practice concepts such as relevant conduct, Rule 35 sentence reduction, crack/powder disparity, and safety valve are crucial to a competent federal defense but do not exist in state practice. Federal sentencing guidelines play a crucial role in federal criminal defense. An intimate knowledge of the federal sentencing guidelines is crucial to legal defense of crimes in Federal Court. Since Federal judges lack the sentencing discretion that Florida state judges have, the guidelines affect every aspect of plea discussions and trial preparation. A thorough understanding of all Federal Criminal Practice aspects is essential for any criminal defense attorney to have success in federal court.
