Federal crimes, or crimes that specifically violate the laws of the federal government, are among the worst. They are investigated by federal law enforcement, and the government itself prosecutes the case.

As someone who is facing federal charges, you need to be aware that the power of your opponent can’t be overstated. The government is a major entity, and you are a single person. That doesn’t mean you can’t win your case, but it does mean that you need to be focused and prepared to do what you have to do to fight the charges and reduce the penalties you face.
