In the United States a person can be prosecuted for crimes under “federal law” or “state law”. State crimes are violations of laws passed by each state. Federal crimes are laws that are passed by our United States Congress and signed into law by the President
.
The Federal government makes laws that apply to all citizens, no matter which state they reside in. If you were charged with a federal crime, it is likely a federal law enforcement agent arrested you, like an FBI or DEA agent.

A United States Attorney General will prosecute you in Federal court. If convicted and if a prison sentence is imposed, you will have to serve that sentence in federal prison.

Typically, Federal crimes have harsher punishments than state crimes. If you have been charged with a federal crime, it is essential to your case that you contact a federal criminal defense lawyer immediately.

Not many lawyers are familiar with Federal criminal law. A lawyer who is not experienced with federal criminal procedure will not be able to effectively represent you.
