Federal Crimes

Federal offenses are those which violate federal law. Often, these crimes take place across state lines or are committed on federal property or on Native American reservations. Title 18 of the United States federal criminal and penal code delineates many of the crimes that may be prosecuted in federal court by U.S. Attorney offices. Many federal agencies may be used to investigate federal crimes and bring federal offenders to justice. If you have been arrested and charged or are under a federal investigation into criminal activity in or around Las Vegas, you will need a Las Vegas Federal Criminal Defense attorney who is licensed to practice in federal court and who is experienced in how these cases are handled.
