Federal Crimes vs. State Crimes

If you’ve been charged, indicted, or accused of a federal or state crime, you may be unclear about what differentiates the two. Most crimes committed in New Jersey are tried at the state level; however, there are certain crimes that violate both state AND federal law can therefore be prosecuted at the federal level. Of course, there are multitude of federal crimes in which residents of the state can be charged with independently. Any crime that is investigated by federal authorities can be tried in federal court. These can include violent crimes like murder, homicide and kidnapping, illegal drug-related crimes, or white collar crimes like corruption, fraud and embezzlement. Title 18 of the federal crimnal code is comprised of thousands of federal statutes covering a multitude of criminal offenses that define the areas that federal law enforcement agencies like the FBI, DEA, and IRS operate within. The U.S. Attorney’s office represents the federal government as prosecutors in federal criminal court. Federal laws and court procedures differ greatly from state courts and your best defense in a federal criminal case comes from experienced federal criminal defense attorneys that are familiar with these differences and have successfully represented clients at the federal level.
