Cincinnati Federal Crime Attorney

Secure Your Defense Against Federal Charges in Cincinnati

Federal charges are by far the worst charges that you can face. Any crime that is committed against the federal government or on federal property is handled in federal courts instead of by the state, which means you are facing the U.S. government instead of state government. These crimes are more serious and therefore involve harsher penalties.

Examples of federal offenses include:

• Bank fraud
• Blackmail
• Check fraud
• Credit card fraud
• Drug smuggling / trafficking
• Embezzlement
• Forgery
• Fraud
• Identity theft
• Ponzi Schemes
• Racketeering
• Money laundering

Each of our Cincinnati federal criminal lawyers are ready to go to war against your charges and can build the strongest possible argument for trial.

Penalties for Federal Offenses

While misdemeanors and felonies can land in jail or a state prison, federal crimes can result in a sentence in a federal penitentiary. This is the highest level of incarceration in the nation. Fines can range from $100 to $250,000, and prison sentences can range from a few months to 30 years or life.
