The Federal Government has its own set of laws and regulations which U.S. citizens must comply with. These laws are in addition to those of the state of Arizona. When one violates a Federal statute or regulation then they are prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Federal District Court. Federal Court is very different from a state court system. Sentencing is guided by a preset list of guidelines and Federal rules of procedure are strictly followed. Defendants facing such charges should retain legal counsel who is familiar with this system. Bretton Barber is licensed in Federal Court, understands the differences in procedure, and is familiar with the rigid Federal Sentencing Guidelines. If you are facing charges in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona then contact our criminal defense attorney immediately.
Phoenix attorney assisting those faced with federal charges in Arizona
When a person is facing federal charges then it means the United States Government is using its vast resources to prosecute them. This can feel overwhelming for obvious reasons. It is important to understand that such cases follow a process. The process of a Federal criminal case begins with the U.S. Attorney gaining an Indictment from a Grand Jury. Once the Indictment is issued then the Defendant will be arraigned before a Magistrate. Most Federal offenses will typically be charged as a felony. Examples of such cases include:
- Drug trafficking
- White Collar crimes
- Internet crimes
- Identity theft
- Hate Crimes
- Credit Card and ATM fraud
- Crimes involving intellectual property
- Immigration crimes
- Gun crimes
Once one is arraigned a trial date will be set. Hiring a lawyer who is familiar with the Federal process is crucial.
