Federal criminal cases are distinct from state cases due to their complexity and the severity of potential penalties. U.S. Attorneys prosecute these cases, which can involve lengthy investigations by federal agencies such as the FBI, DEA, or IRS. Because of the high stakes, having a legal team that understands the intricacies of federal law and has a proven track record in handling such cases is crucial.
