Federal investigations are very different than state investigations. First, unlike its state counterpart, the federal government has virtually unlimited resources when conducting an investigation. Second, they are staffed with more experienced agents and investigators. Due to this, federal crimes usually have higher conviction rates and carry harsher sentences, including stiff mandatory minimum sentences. Oftentimes, these stiffer mandatory sentences involve drug conspiracy cases or the use of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense or violent crime.

Trying to battle the immense resources of the federal government is an overwhelming endeavor, and an experienced federal defense attorney is essential. The best time to get legal advice is prior to being arrested, charged, or served with a grand jury subpoena. However, if you learn that you are a person of interest, witness or target to a federal investigation, you must contact an experienced attorney now! At the Law Office of Steven Rasile, we are here to help you through this difficult and troubling time.
