Being investigated or charged with a crime by a federal agency is a frightening and often confusing situation. In the post 9/11 world, the Federal Government has an array of powerful investigative tools and plenty of resources that can be used to build a case against you, such as: Wiretaps, Pen Registers, Video and Surveillance.

The Federal Government typically uses task forces that combine law enforcement agents from federal, state and local authorities into a powerful prosecution team. In short, the Feds have the power to bring tremendous resources against you, and they will not hesitate to do so.

Federal crimes either cross state lines, involve a federal agency (e.g., the post office, federally insured banks, the SEC and HUD) or involve the Internet. The most common cases prosecuted at the Federal level include drug trafficking, bank robbery and Internet pornography.

There are several factors that make federal criminal defense so daunting:

• Federal sentences are severe, and there is no parole.
• The Federal Criminal Code does not lend itself to plea negotiation.
• Federal prosecutors and law enforcement agents typically have far greater resources and experience than their state counterparts.

If you are facing potential federal charges, beware! The Feds have probably already accumulated evidence against you. They can take months or even years to prepare a case. By the time you are charged, they already have a head start on you. This makes it especially important to get your defense started quickly.

First and foremost, you need an attorney with extensive experience in the federal criminal system. Ideally, your attorney should focus exclusively on federal criminal defense.

Second, you need a defense team, not just a single attorney. Your team needs to be thorough, fast and responsive. The feds almost always have a head start against you in case preparation, so your team needs to catch up quickly to level the playing field.
