A Lawyer Who Understands the Federal System

 

There are many differences between state and federal criminal cases, including:

  • Differences in jury selection;

  • Differences in bond;

  • Differences in jurisdiction;

  • Differences in penalties; and

  • Use of Federal Sentencing Guidelines
