Understanding the Gravity of Punishment in a Federal Criminal Defense Case

When the Feds get involved, it’s time to seek the very best federal criminal defense available. The rationale is simple: federal involvement ups the ante when it comes to possible penalties, pretty much regardless of what crime you’re talking about. Let us take a few of the above examples and run with them, just for the sake of providing some further illumination. Internet crimes almost always fall under federal jurisdiction because, as you can imagine, Internet commerce, almost always crosses state lines. Even a first offense of federal Internet fraud can get you up to 20 years of jail time. Now let us consider the example of federal drug crimes. A first offense for transporting even a small amount of cocaine across state lines can get you up to 40 years in prison (and more if charges for racketeering are tacked on). And how about the aforementioned federal sex crimes? Moving a minor across state lines for sexual purposes, for examples, can get you 40 years to life. As for federal child pornography laws, they dictate mandatory minimum sentences just for possession, and decades of jail time for more serious charges.
