Utah Federal Defense Attorney Explains Federal Charges

If you live in Utah and you are under investigation for a federal crime, you need to be very careful what you say and do. In fact, you should be cautious about answering any questions federal investigators might ask even if you are told you are a witness and are not the subject of an investigation.

Federal investigators, including investigators at the FBI, have extensive resources and are well-trained in making cases against defendants. Federal prosecutors are also skilled in their jobs and know what it takes to secure convictions against Utah residents who they suspect of wrongdoing.

Unfortunately, the stakes are very high when you are going up against these federal officials because the penalties that you face if convicted could be extensive.

The severity of federal charges and the skill of federal prosecutors and investigators all mean that you must find your own skilled, knowledgeable advocate who knows how to defend you if you become involved in the federal criminal justice system. You need to turn to LV Criminal Defense for help.

If you commit a crime that could be illegal under Utah law and that is also illegal under the laws of the United States of America, you could find yourself being prosecuted by the state or facing more serious federal charges. The authorities decide where you face charges and you’ll simply have to defend the case in whatever court you’re being tried in.
