Chicago Federal Criminal Attorney

Understanding Federal Charges

A federal crime can be defined as violating a law or statute enforced by the federal government, and will be prosecuted in federal court. Some laws are state laws, which are governed by state courts, but federal crimes are prosecuted by the office of the United States Attorney. The punishments can be extreme and you could be faced with a lengthy sentence in a federal penitentiary, depending on the severity of the circumstances, and for any chance of a favorable outcome, a skilled and knowledgeable Chicago federal criminal lawyer experienced in the complex defense of these charges will be needed immediately.
