In general, Federal Crimes are not very different from State Crimes.

• One major difference, besides being in two different courthouses, is that State Cases are investigated by local law enforcement and prosecuted by County Prosecutors that can have a plethora of cases with limited funds, time, and experience.

Federal Crimes are prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys

• that have nearly endless funds, few cases, and a world of experience. The combination of these three can spell disaster for any defendant indicted or under investigation without a competent, aggressive, and knowledgeable attorney.

Federal Crimes also differ from State Crimes in the way an individual is charged with a crime.

• Most state crimes are filed against a defendant by way of an “Information”. An “Information” is a document that is filed by an Assistant State Attorney once they read the police reports and determine what the charges should be.

 

• In Federal Court, an individual is mainly charged by way of a Federal Indictment that is generated through a Grand Jury. This only increases the importance of being extremely careful when talking to a police officer or federal agent about a criminal matter as their purpose, more than likely, is gaining evidence through talking to you.
