What Makes a Crime Federal?

Federal crimes violate U.S. laws and are prosecuted by U.S. Attorneys in federal courts. These offenses may:

• Violate federal statutes such as RICO or immigration law

Common examples include:

• Drug trafficking across state lines
• Internet fraud and wire fraud
• Mail fraud or tax evasion
• Child pornography charges
• Conspiracy and racketeering

Why You Need a Lawyer Experienced in Federal Court

Federal court procedure is different than state court. It has its own rules, timelines, and agencies. Federal prosecutors are often backed by lengthy investigations and substantial resources. Lee Cox understands how federal investigations work and can negotiate with U.S. Attorneys, challenge evidence, and build a strategic defense tailored to your case.

Early Intervention Can Make the Difference

Sometimes the best defense begins before charges are filed. If you’ve received a federal target letter, been contacted by federal agents, or suspect you’re under investigation, don’t wait. The earlier you involve legal counsel, the better your chance of resolving the matter favorably.
