Federal vs. State Charges

The United States Sentencing Commission indicates that the federal government covers specific criminal cases, including crimes…

  • Committed on federal property (airports, national parks, reservations)
  • Committed in multiple states
  • Involving financial institutions insured by federal agencies
  • Violating U.S. federal laws

Put simply, federal courts have jurisdiction over all cases involving federal law or involving litigants from different states. These cases are typically tried in district courts, presided over by a judge who has been appointed for life. Criminal cases tried in federal courts generally involve charges under federal statutes. In these instances, it is advisable to work with a federal criminal defense attorney with experience navigating this complex system.

Most often, federal crimes include offenses like drug trafficking, identity theft, weapons charges, money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, counterfeiting, child pornography, and internet crimes.

Federal charges carry greater weight than those filed at the state level. First, state prosecutors typically exercise discretion to avoid a trial, offer leniency in sentencing, or provide alternative sentences like house arrest. In contrast, federal judges must adhere to a strict set of guidelines, meaning that prison time is more likely. This is compounded by the fact that federal charges typically carry harsher prison sentences overall. For these reasons, those in this position should seek experienced, savvy representation in the form of a federal crimes lawyer.
