Federal Crimes
A federal crime is a crime that violates the laws of the United States. A federal crime is often investigated by a federal law enforcement agency, such as the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), or any other federal law enforcement agency or federal task force. Federal crimes differ from state crimes, both in the applicable law and by the fact that federal crimes often carry more severe penalties. Federal prosecutors and law enforcement agents often have extensive legal experience and training, not to mention they also have the vast resources of the United States government at their disposal. Federal criminal cases are often more complicated than state cases. Many attorneys do not have the knowledge or experience to represent clients in federal court and, thus, they avoid federal criminal cases.
