Charleston Federal Criminal Lawyer
Attorney for Federal Crime Charges in Charleston
Being charged with any crime is a serious matter and can be intimidating. When the crime is being prosecuted by the federal government, the consequences are even more serious, and more terrifying. The federal government aggressively prosecutes its cases and rarely files charges until it has a plethora of strong evidence against a suspect. When you face federal charges, it is crucial you have a Charleston federal criminal attorney with experience in fighting accusations at a federal level.
Hiring an inexperienced lawyer to provide you with federal criminal defense in Charleston can be the worst decision you can make. These courts operate differently than state courts and have different sentencing, court rules of conduct, evidence requirements, bonds, jury selection processes and more. Additionally, judges in federal courts are allowed a lot less flexibility in their sentencing and trial decisions. Hiring a Charleston federal criminal lawyer without experience in a federal court can often harm your case more than help it.
The most fervently prosecuted crimes by the federal government are those connected with terrorism and those involving child pornography. Convictions for these crimes can result in federal penitentiary sentences, thousands of dollars in fines and years of probation.
