Understanding Federal Vs. State Criminal Charges

Federal criminal charges differ significantly from state charges. Unlike state charges, federal charges are prosecuted by U.S. attorneys and involve federal law. The federal defense system has near-infinite resources to investigate and prosecute anyone suspected of a federal offense. Federal convictions almost always involve consequences that are much more harsh such as:

Fines of thousands of dollars
Incarceration in federal prison
The loss of certain rights
Long-term probation

Federal judges also frequently impose mandatory minimum sentences that are disproportionately long.
