Are You Facing Federal Crime Charges in Pennsylvania?
When you are charged with a crime that is under the jurisdiction of the federal court, it is imperative that you have an experienced criminal defense attorney fighting for your best interests. Many smaller crimes are handled at the state level, but the most serious offenses are those that violate federal legislation, which are handled by federal courts. Federal crimes present a whole different array of issues to be addressed, so the importance of an experienced attorney cannot be emphasized enough.

Crimes that are prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office can involve federal institutions like the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), or the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). The punishments for these crimes are typically very harsh – hiring a criminal defense attorney is paramount to protecting your rights and your freedom.
