There are two basic reasons for a crime being tried in the federal court system versus the state court system -- if the charge alleged is a violation of federal versus state law or if the crime alleged occurs on federal property. Below are some examples of the types of cases tried in this arena.

When charged with a federal offense, the legal system will, in many cases, insist that a federal crimes attorney be retained on behalf of a defendant. This is due to the specialized nature of the proceedings and the rules governing federal sentencing and procedure. The majority of state practitioners are not sufficiently knowledgeable, experienced or trained in this highly specialized area of criminal law. Since the consequences of a criminal conviction are permanent for you and your loved ones, it becomes imperative to obtain the strong advocacy of attorneys experienced in this realm of criminal law. Moore, Barrett & Grant’s many years of experience and its expertise relative to the federal judicial system has provided its clients with a strong advocacy over a period of many years. We are committed to obtaining the best possible outcome for our clients.

White Collar and Financial Offenses: This term generally refers to crimes that include cheating or dishonesty as their basis. Crimes of this nature are most often perpetrated by professional individuals working within legitimate business enterprises.

Drug Offenses: Any violation of criminal law prohibiting production, use and distribution (or sale) of illicit drugs.

Large-Scale Drug Distribution: Federal law prohibits the distribution of illicit drugs, such as cocaine, marijuana and numerous other narcotics, on any level. At the point where the federal government decides to become involved, however, the quantity of the drugs involved warrants a broader investigation of the matter and the parties involved. A charge of this nature has extremely serious ramifications.

Drug Conspiracy: This offense involves an agreement between two or more people to commit any act which violates drug-related laws, whether or not that act is ultimately accomplished.

Violent Crimes: This category is composed of four offenses: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault. All violent crimes involve force or threat of force.
