Federal Criminal Offenses in Pennsylvania

When you break a federal law in Pennsylvania, federal prosecutors, not state prosecutors, will try your case in the federal court system, where federal rules of procedure will be followed. Additionally, federal charges are significantly more complex than state charges, demand extensive preparation and investigation, and carry harsher penalties than state crimes.

The right advocacy counts. At Difenderfer Law, we regularly handle federal cases and have the skilled representation to guide you through the federal justice system and build the strongest possible defense for our clients.

Representation for High-Stakes Federal Crimes

Federal charges can be severe. If you are under investigation or have been charged with a federal crime in the Western District of Pennsylvania, it’s important to work with an experienced, trustworthy criminal defense team that is well-versed in federal court procedures, federal laws, and the strategies employed by federal prosecutors.

Federal attorneys have access to many resources, including investigators from agencies, such as the FBI, DEA and IRS. Convictions for federal crimes typically result in severe financial penalties and prison sentences that are much longer than those for state or local charges.
