Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys

Over 30 Years Experience in Orange County

Our legal system has two levels: state law and federal law. While local jurisdictions (which are usually the first to handle state criminal matters) work with the state of California and will charge you under state law, the federal legal system is a distinct system with different courts, prosecutors and rules. If you’re facing federal charges, you should be sure to hire an attorney who’s well versed in federal law and court procedures. Even a skilled attorney experienced in California law may not be able to do the best job in a federal court. Fortunately, Wallin & Klarich has attorneys with decades of experience representing clients in federal court. Our federal criminal defense attorneys are very familiar with the federal district courts in their areas, which can be a great help in a case.

Understanding Federal Crimes

Federal criminal charges can be similar to state charges, but are generally rarer and more serious. Most people are familiar with the state courts, which handle traffic tickets, divorces and wills as well as crimes that are a violation of state law. By contrast, federal courts handle violations of federal criminal law, which includes laws against organized crime, international drug trafficking, tax violations, immigration violations and more. Most crimes are state crimes; in order for a crime to be charged federally, it must involve a violation of the Constitution or federal statutes, and will therefore often be a more serious crime.

Have You Been Charged with a Federal Crime?

If so, the matter is very serious. You need the professional assistance of an experienced child pornography lawyer. Our law firm has over 40 years of experience defending those accused of sex crimes. We have represented the California Teachers Association (CTA) for over twenty years and have a proven track record of success in defending persons who are being accused of serious federal crimes.

Potential Consequences of Being Accused of a Federal Crime

The penalties for federal crimes aren’t always harsh, but they can be harsher than the sentence you might receive for the same crime in state court, especially if drugs are involved. And if you are convicted on a federal charge, you will go to federal prison, which means you may be sent much farther away from home to serve your sentence.
