About Federal Crimes in New York

In recent years, the number of crimes being prosecuted in federal courts in New York is rising. The federal government has begun to aggressively pursue white collar and other federal convictions in ways that they never have before. Increased funding for federal investigations, fears of terrorism, an over-crowded state level criminal system and others account for this increase in federal related criminal prosecution. The increase of internet-related crime and therefore interstate or international offenses has also led to this focus. A person being held on a federal crime in New York faces detention, no jury trial and sentences and punishments that are much longer and more severe than state level crimes.

Many white collar crimes and federal crimes of any kind may be handled by any federal law enforcement agency, and each has their own way of handling cases. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Secret Service, Border Patrol, the IRS, The Postal Service and US Marshals all have sweeping powers and are held to different legal standards than other local law enforcement officials.

Federal crimes are seen and handled by a federal court and a federal judge, both of which operate under much different laws than local or state courts. The process is long and complicated and can take months or even years to even file an official charge against a detained or investigated person. Having a New York federal crimes lawyer representing you as early as possible in the process can often mean the difference of having to spend time and money fighting your charges and having all charges dropped and being released.
