Aggressively Fighting Federal Charges for Clients 

When faced with federal charges, it can be a highly daunting and distressing experience. Not only could you be investigated by agencies such as the FBI, DEA, and IRS, but the prosecuting U.S. attorney is sure to take an aggressive stance in their pursuit of a conviction. 

This is why you need a seasoned federal crimes lawyer by your side. At The Law Offices of J. Patrick Carey, we have the knowledge and experience to provide the highest level of care and representation needed to give you a fighting chance. With over eight years of experience serving in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and having handled over 7,000 cases, our Torrance federal crimes attorney can help you get through this. 

Don't wait to get in touch with our federal crimes lawyer in Torrance. Call us today at (310) 695-1118 to schedule a consultation.

How Does Federal Court Differ from Criminal Court?

Federal criminal laws differ from state laws as they aim to prosecute activities that are considered serious crimes against the nation rather than just individual states. The United States Department of Justice and the United States Attorney's Office handle federal crimes, whereas state laws are prosecuted by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office or the Torrance City Attorney’s Office. 

In addition, there are various federal agencies that may investigate you. These can include:

  • The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
  • The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
  • The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
  • The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
  • The Secret Service
  • The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)

Since the rules and procedures followed by Federal Courts are different than state courts, it is important to seek the guidance of a seasoned criminal defense lawyer when faced with federal charges. The stakes are high in federal cases, and having our skilled legal team can make a world of difference in protecting your rights and seeking a favorable outcome.

    Found Pat to represent me on a case after I made a dumb mistake. I was completely clueless. Pat made is so much less stressful and most of all he negotiated a deal that ended up getting my case dismissed.
