What Is the Difference Between State & Federal Charges?
Any individual who is facing charges for a criminal offense must retain legal counsel at once. Criminal charges, whether at a state or federal level, carry very serious penalties. The primary difference between state and federal charges is jurisdiction.

Federal charges involve more serious crimes, including those that violate federal law, or on federal property, or by a federal employee.
Types of Crimes That Will Be Filed in Federal Court
- Drug trafficking

If you are facing criminal charges, it is important that you retain counsel from an Olathe criminal attorney who has the knowledge and experience serving as defense counsel in federal court. Not all criminal lawyers are admitted to practice in this court system.
Comprehensive In-House Resources for Your Defense
The American legal system is overseen by both state and federal governments. When a crime directly violates federal legislation, is committed on federal property, or is committed against a federal institution, cases will be handled by a federal court rather than a state court. In addition, federal offenses are often more serious crimes, much more aggressively prosecuted by a number of large agencies, and harshly penalized.
