The Difference Between Federal and State Charges
It is essential to understand the critical differences between Federal and state criminal cases. To put it simply, they aren't the same. While State charges typically involve violations of local and State laws, such as the Clark County Ordinance Code or the Nevada Revised Statutes in Nevada, Federal charges involve crimes that break federal laws, such as the “C.F.R. (Code of Federal Regulations) or the United States Code. These laws, or statutes, often involving interstate or international activities, or crimes that affect federal institutions. Crimes such as drug trafficking, wire fraud, money laundering, and organized crime often fall under federal jurisdiction. Because these cases are prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office and involve federal investigative agencies such as the FBI, DEA, and IRS, they tend to be far more complex, and the stakes are much higher.
The punishment for conviction of a federal offense is typically much more severe than that of a State offense. Federal sentencing guidelines are often rigid and impose harsher penalties than state laws. In federal cases, mandatory minimum sentences are common, elevating the risk of a conviction substantially. Additionally, federal prosecutors are highly experienced and aggressive, with comprehensive expertise and training, and have the full weight of federal law enforcement, such as the US Marshall, FBI and DEA, behind them. Federal Courts are also unique, and operate under different procedural rules than state courts, making this an often seemingly uneven playing field of you don't have qualified and experienced representation behind you.
