Federal Crimes Defined

A federal crime is an illegal act that breaks national laws rather than state or local laws. Agencies like the DEA, FBI, ATF, and Secret Service investigate these crimes, and U.S. Attorneys take them to court. Federal crimes cover many areas, including drug trafficking, financial fraud, terrorism, and tax cheating.

A federal crime is unique because it affects the federal government or involves actions crossing state or international lines. For instance, moving drugs across state or country borders is usually a federal offense. These crimes can also happen on federal lands like military bases or national parks or involve the federal government somehow.

Federal crimes can result in severe penalties, including substantial fines, lengthy prison terms, and other penalties. Mr. La Rue is a seasoned federal criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor who understands the stakes and provides the skilled representation you need.
