    Criminal Defense Answers
    • Will a federal crime conviction affect my future?
      A conviction for a federal crime can have long-lasting impacts on your future. It may result in a criminal record, which can affect employment opportunities, professional licensing, and immigration status. Additionally, you may face difficulties in obtaining housing or loans. It's crucial to have legal representation to minimize these potential consequences.
    • Who investigates federal crimes?
      Federal crimes are investigated by federal agencies. These include organizations such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). These agencies have the resources to conduct extensive national and international investigations.
    • What are the penalties for federal crimes?
      The penalties for federal crimes can be severe and may include imprisonment, fines, and probation. The specific penalties depend on the nature and severity of the offense, as well as the sentencing guidelines. Federal judges must follow these guidelines but have some discretion in sentencing. Penalties are often harsher than for state crimes.
    • Can I appeal a federal criminal conviction?
      Yes, you can appeal a federal criminal conviction if you believe there was a legal error that affected the outcome of your trial. The appeal must be filed within a specific timeframe and focuses on legal and procedural issues rather than re-evaluating evidence. An attorney experienced in federal appeals can guide you through this process.
