What is the Difference Between State and Federal crimes?
The federal criminal system is very different than the state system. Important federal criminal practice concepts such as relevant conduct, Rule 35 sentence reduction, crack/powder disparity, and safety valve are crucial to a competent federal defense but do not exist in state practice. Federal practice rules are far more complex and rigid. Accordingly, attorneys with little or no experience in the federal system may be at significant disadvantage when attempting to handle complex federal cases.
Additionally, intimate knowledge of the federal sentencing guidelines is crucial to legal defense of federal criminal matters. Those guidelines affect every aspect of plea discussions and trial preparation. Finally Sentences in federal courts tend to be much higher.
