Minnesota-St. Paul Defense Attorney
Federal Crimes
Criminal Defense Form
Many crimes that appear to be state matters include aspects that render it a federal crime. At the Speas Law Firm, P.A., criminal law attorney Jennifer E. Speas has many years of experience handling federal crimes in federal court. Since federal courts operate under a different set of procedures and rules than state courts, you need a lawyer who understands these differences and how they may affect your case.
A wide variety of felony charges may fall within the jurisdiction of federal courts, including:
- Drug crimes
- Wire fraud
- Insurance fraud
- Mail fraud
- Internet and computer crimes
Do not be caught off guard. If your case is in federal court or has been moved to federal court, you need to get in touch with an experienced attorney as soon as possible. This will provide the lawyer with time to prepare your defense, interview witnesses, request and access evidence, and write motions to suppress improperly obtained evidence.
We also can assist you in determining if a cooperation agreement may be right for your case. If this course of action is best suited to your situation, we can help make sure the plea is in your best interests. Many jurisdictions limit the time during which you can make and accept a plea agreement, so it is important to have a knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer protecting your best interests.
Federal convictions carry serious mandatory sentences.
Federal sentences are mandated by sentencing guidelines and are imposed upon conviction. This is why you need a lawyer who is not only familiar with the possible punishments if you are convicted, but also is fluent in federal court procedures. Federal crimes attorney Jennifer E. Speas has this knowledge and experience. She can help prevent a possible conviction in many situations.
