Federal Criminal System Overview
Federal Criminal System Overview | Federal Criminal System |
If the federal government has charged you or is investigating you, we can help. A lawyer who is familiar with the federal rules of evidence, federal rules of criminal procedure, trial procedure, and the federal court system in general is a must. The lawyer must be familiar with federal sentencing procedures and with the recent Supreme Court rulings that affect sentencing. It helps to have a defense lawyer who is familiar with the U.S. Attorney's office that is handling the case and some familiarity with the federal investigative agency that spearheaded the investigation. Many lawyers are experienced at handling cases in state court; however, many criminal defense lawyers are out of their element when it is the federal government filing the charges. When it is federal authorities filing charges, you must have a criminal defense attorney who is familiar with federal laws, the rules of evidence, as well as the Federal Sentencing Act and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. There is no such thing as a highly qualified federal criminal defense lawyer who occasionally dabbles in federal court matters. Lawyers either know federal criminal defense, or they don't. If you are involved in the federal criminal system, make sure your lawyer has extensive experience with the defense of federal criminal charges. The Vladimir Gagic Law Office has handled numerous federal prosecutions. In each case, we make every effort to prevent federal charges from being filed and have significant experience negotiating with federal prosecutors. In recognition of Mr. Gagic's criminal defense and trial experience, a federal district court judge appointed Mr. Gagic to the federal criminal justice act panel. |
