The Law Firm of Conaway & Strickler, P.C.

New York Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers

If you or someone you love is facing a federal criminal charge the need for an experienced attorney is very real. The federal criminal process is much different from state level crimes and consists of complicated laws that should be handled by lawyers with particular knowledge of the proceedings. Conaway & Strickler have years of experience handling federal crimes cases and are offering free consultations on any potential case.

In recent years the number of crimes being prosecuted in federal courts in New York is rising. The federal government has begun to aggressively pursue federal convictions in ways that they never have before. Increased funding for federal investigations, fears of terrorism, an over-crowded state level criminal system and others account for this increase in federal related criminal prosecution. A person being held on a federal crime faces detention, no jury trial and sentences and punishments that are much longer and more severe than state level crimes.

Federal crimes can be handled by any federal law enforcement agency and each has their own way of handling cases. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Secret Service, Border Patrol, the IRS, The Postal Service and US Marshals all have sweeping powers and are held to different legal standards than other local law enforcement officials. If you or a loved one has been detained and faces federal charges in New York please contact us immediately for free help.

Federal crimes are seen and handled by a federal court and a federal judge, both of which operate under much different laws than local or state courts. The process is long and complicated and can take months or even years to even file an official charge against a detained or investigated person. Having a New York federal crimes lawyer representing you as early as possible in the process can often mean the difference of having to spend time and money fighting your charges and having all charges dropped and being released.

In many cases involving federal charges a suspect is aware that they are being investigated before any official charge or detention has been issued. During this time it is important that the person or persons contact and retain experienced and aggressive New York federal crimes attorneys. Having these lawyers on your side as quickly as possible will show the governmental agencies involved that you understand your rights and are concerned with protecting yourself.
