Potential Issues in Federal Criminal Cases
Various issues can arise during a federal criminal defense case, and you need the team of lawyers on your side to handle them. At Spodek Law Group, P.C., we have extensive experience navigating the complexities of federal cases and helping clients avoid the potentially devastating consequences of allegations that could threaten their livelihoods and reputations.
Here are just a few examples of potential issues that can arise in a federal criminal case:
1. Illegally-Obtained Evidence
When conducting an investigation, federal agents and prosecutors are bound by the protections afforded by the U.S. Constitution. If they violate suspects’ or defendants’ constitutional rights, any evidence obtained as a result of the violation may be deemed inadmissible. However, it is up to you and your defense team to ensure that illegally-obtained evidence does not make its way into your case.
2. Conspiracy Allegations
Under the federal conspiracy statute, you do not have to commit a substantive offense to face significant fines and long-term imprisonment. Various other federal statutes contain conspiracy provisions as well, making them among federal prosecutors’ most-potent tools in investigations and prosecutions. A prosecutor only needs to argue that you were party to a formal or informal agreement to commit a crime to warrant prosecution in federal court.
3. Attempt Allegations
Under federal law, the targets of federal investigations can face charges for attempted offenses in the absence of evidence of a completed criminal offense. Often, charges for attempt carry the same penalties. Due to the potential for attempt accusations, individuals and organizations being targeted for federal prosecution must be extremely careful to avoid relying on defense strategies that could expose them to prosecution for an “unsuccessful” crime.
4. Multiple Related and Unrelated Charges
It is not unusual for defendants in federal cases to face multiple charges for both related and unrelated crimes. For example, some of the most common accusations in federal cases are mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. In a healthcare fraud case, providers might face allegations of multiple healthcare-related offenses, and in securities fraud cases, companies might face charges for multiple corporate crimes.
5. Confidential Informant or “Co-Conspirator” Testimony
If someone else who has a vested interest in the outcome of your case testifies against you, you will need to overcome this testimony as part of your defense.
6. Sentencing Guidelines
In most federal criminal cases, potential sentences are outlined in the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. These guidelines are not binding, but prosecutors and judges often rely on them. However, it is sometimes possible to obtain a below-guideline plea deal or sentence, and our team has significant experience protecting clients against the penalties prescribed by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
Potential Penalties in Federal Criminal Cases
The penalties in a federal criminal case can be severe. While the Federal Sentencing Guidelines establish a range of potential fines and prison sentences for most crimes, various federal statutes impose additional penalties as well. The consequences of allegations of fraud, financial crimes, drug offenses, and other serious white-collar crimes could include:
– Federal imprisonment
– Probation
– Fines
– Restitution, recoupments, and other financial penalties
– Loss of eligibility for DEA or SEC registration
