Grand Rapids Federal Crimes Attorney
Federal Crimes Defense
A Federal crime is a crime that is illegal under U.S. Federal Law. Such crimes include white collar crimes such as: securities fraud, investment fraud, bank fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and tax evasion, kidnapping counterfeiting, serious drug crimes including trafficking, racketeering, and gun charges.
Being charged with a federal crime is a whole different ball game than being charged with a crime at the state or local level. The court processes are different, the sentencing guidelines are different, and there is the Federal Grand Jury process at this level. For all serious federal crimes for which prison time may be served, under the Fifth Amendment, a grand jury must be called to determine if there is enough evidence for a person to be indicted for the crime, and for there to be a trial. When the government has an individual in its sites to prosecute, and with the resources and deep pockets it has, you need the heavy guns to defend your case. A Grand Rapids criminal defense attorney and our team of experienced professionals have the expertise it takes to defend your case.
Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney Before You Are Indicted
If you have advance warning or suspect that you are under investigation for a federal crime by the DEA, FBI, IRS or BATF, do not wait to hire an attorney. Hire one now. The more time you have to prepare your defense, the better your defense will be. Indictment is when you have been charged in writing with a specific criminal act. The indictment document lays out the specific facts and charges of the crime you have been accused of committing.
