Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer

Federal crimes are often confused with state level crimes. At Bartlett Law Offices, we are here to help you understand the fundamental difference. More importantly, we are experienced in cases at the Federal level and are committed to helping our clients seek the best possible outcome.

Here in the USA, there are at least two ways a person may be subject to federal court jurisdiction. The first way would be to commit an offense that violates federal law such as mail fraud, which is a fraud committed by using mail that crosses state lines or involves the U.S. Postal Service. The second would be to commit an offense on federal property or against a federal agency.

If you are or have been charged with a federal offense, it is important to understand that the penalties can be quite harsh; more so than those of state court.

Experienced Representation for Federal Cases

The differences between state and federal court when you are charged with a crime are significant. The rules of presenting evidence are different, and the procedures are also different. The enforcement of a federal crime comes with greater resources including those of law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges; therefore, federal sentencing statutes can be tougher. Some will even mandate a minimum term if prison time is a consequence.

At Bartlett Law Offices, we have the resources, experience, and knowledge to achieve favorable results for our clients charged in federal court.
