What Is The Difference Between a State & Federal Charge?

To put it simply, a federal charge will have more severe consequences than a state charge. Furthermore, a federal conviction can never be taken off of your record. Federal jurisdiction usually involves issues that affect interstate commerce such as fraud, weapons, and drug trafficking. Due to the potential severity of a federal charge, hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney in Tallahassee is the most essential step you can take towards effectively defending yourself.

We can assist clients in Leon, Wakulla, Jefferson, Gadsden, Franklyn, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, Suwanee, Calhoun, Washington, Gulf, Bay, Holmes, Okaloosa, and Walton Counties.

Sentencing Guidelines

Federal charges encompass a number of crimes that carry a wide range of penalties; however, federal courts follow several guidelines that come into play in most cases.

There are five sentencing guidelines that a federal judge may consider:

• “Victim” related adjustments.
• Adjustments based on the defendant’s “role” in the offense.
• Adjustments for “obstructing the administration of justice.”
• Adjustments for “defendant’s acceptance of responsibility.”
• Adjustments for “multiple count convictions.”

These five adjustments are used to increase or decrease the base level of offense which will either increase or decrease the penalties for your case.
