Potential Issues in Federal Criminal Cases
Various issues have the potential to arise during a federal criminal defense case, including illegally-obtained evidence, conspiracy allegations or attempts, multiple related and unrelated charges, confidential informant or ‘co-conspirator’ testimony, and sentencing guidelines. These issues could mean the difference between avoiding allegations altogether or facing a conviction at trial – this is why you need expert attorneys to handle your case.

Illegal obtention of Evidence: During an investigation, federal agents and prosecutors are limited by the protections afforded by the U.S. Constitution. If violated, any evidence obtained as a result of Constitutional violation may be considered illegally-obtained. Illegally-obtained evidence is inadmissible in federal court (subject to certain limitations). Failure to have experienced defense attorneys means losing on the opportunity to keep such illegally-obtained evidence out of your case.

Allegations under Conspiracy law: If you are part of a formal or informal agreement to commit a crime and any of your alleged co-conspirators execute an “overt act” towards the commission of a federal crime, this warrants prosecution in federal district court. Construction of the statute presents an offense in itself, requiring a proper defense strategy.

The potential for attempt accusations: Targets of federal investigations can also face charges for attempts despite no finalized criminal offense. Due to the risk of charges for any “unsuccessful” crime, individuals and organizations being targeted for federal prosecution need to be careful not to rely on defense strategies that could expose them.

Multiple Related or Unrelated Charges: In federal cases, prosecutors can make multiple charges against defendants involved in different crimes. Even minor offenses can trigger severe penalties due to the broad language of some statutes leading to multiple accusations under their umbrella.

Confidential Informant Or “Co-Conspirator” Testimony: A witness with vested interests may testify against you. To counter this testimony, you require experienced attorneys who understand how to protect your rights.

Sentencing Guidelines: The Guidelines outline potential sentences but are not binding. Prosecutors and judges use them often. However, qualified attorneys make it possible to obtain a below-guideline plea deal or sentence while protecting clients from prescribed Federal Sentencing Guidelines penalties.

Potential Penalties in Federal Criminal Cases
Federal criminal cases carry serious penalties comprising of:

Federal Imprisonment – Most crimes carry the possibility of extended periods behind bars. Targeted individuals facing multiple counts of multiple charges risk lengthy incarcerations.

Probation – If sentenced to probation instead of imprisonment, defendants gain an opportunity at continued freedom.

Fines – Federal offenses incur substantial fines that surpass supposed financial limits.

Restitution, Recoupments, and Other Financial Penalties – Convictions attract restitution, recoupments, and other financial penalties.

Other Statutory Penalties – Depending upon the specific charge(s) involved, defendants could face additional statutory penalties such as Medicare and Medicaid exclusion (in cases of healthcare fraud) or loss of eligibility for DEA or SEC registration (for prescription and securities-related offenses, respectively).
