Because both state and federal law prohibit certain actions, a person may face charges under state or federal law, depending upon the specific circumstances. Some actions are only illegal under federal law or state law, but some are illegal under both. As a result, it is even possible for a defendant to face prosecution under both state and federal law.
Consulting a federal criminal defense lawyer is absolutely essential if you or someone you know has been arrested or is under investigation for any type of federal crime. Federal crimes typically are more harshly prosecuted and penalized, and these offense are often more complicated as well. The federal criminal court system operates differently than the state court system, and as such you need to be sure that you work with an attorney experienced in these particular matters. Even if an arrest has not been made and you simply suspect that you might be under investigation, contacting an attorney now will go long way to avoiding a conviction and serious penalties.
