If you’ve recently gotten into trouble with the law - the federal law - then you’ll soon know it. Federal marshals will come to your house and arrest you. The good aspect to breaking a federal law as opposed to a state law is that the marshals at the federal level are usually better educated and more polite. (As well, should you be incarcerated, the federal penitentiary system is notably far superior to the state prison system.)
However, this is of little comfort to someone possibly going to prison. Especially when it is the education of federal marshals and investigators that allowed them to catch you. Either way, you’ll need a federal lawyer. If you have recently been accused of one of the crimes listed below, or are considering a career in law, this article may be for you.
The federal lawyer is a solicitor trained specifically to defend suspects who are believed to have broken a federal law. This is usually, but not always a more serious crime. Let’s look at some of these crimes, that you may better understand them.
Kidnapping This more often than not involves a parent who has half or no custody of a child, who picks the child up after school and takes that child somewhere that the other parent, (who either also has partial or full custody of the child ) doesn’t know about. This is the case throughout the United States with most of the “Milk Carton Kids.”
Narcotics The possession of narcotics is generally a state matter, unless the amount of drugs is so great that it is obvious that the person is dealing the drugs. Any form of trafficking, including dealing, is of a federal nature, and the accused person will wish to seek a federal lawyer, as opposed to a state-law representative.
Tax evasion To knowingly cheat on your personal or business taxes is heavily punishable and yet another case where need for a federal lawyer will be present. Tax evasion is possibly one of the more common cases that the average federal lawyer must handle each year. It was, in fact, the only way the federal government was able to pin and incarcerate “Scar Face” Al Capone.
Murder is generally a case for federal law, though there are lesser degrees of this, such as manslaughter (if it can truly be deemed “murder”) which are a matter for the state laws. This is one of the more serious and time-consuming types of case that the federal lawyer must try to resolve, and is usually very expensive, both for legal and court expenses.
The federal lawyer is a prestigious job which typically pays an excellent salary. As well, it is infinitely more interesting than say, a tax lawyer. If you’re considering becoming a lawyer, consider this branch of law. As well, if you’ve been accused of breaking a federal law, do consider calling one of these professionals; with their care and diligence, you will have a fair opportunity at exonerating your name.
