The classification of state vs. federal crimes can be confusing. Generally, an individual may be charged with a federal offense if a federal law was broken, if the crime occurred on federal property, or if the crime figuratively crossed state lines.
At Glasgow & Olsson, our Chicago federal criminal defense attorneys have experience in state and federal criminal courts. We are prepared to handle your case involving any federal crime:
Federal charges are generally more complex and assign harsher penalties than state crimes. Additionally, federal sentencing guidelines may apply, which call for mandatory minimum sentences for federal criminal charges. It is critical that your attorney has specific experience handling criminal charges. Not all attorneys do.
