New York City Federal Crime Attorneys Russ Kofman and Arthur Lebedin Discuss Federal Crimes in a New Article

New York federal crime attorneys Russ Kofman and Arthur Lebedin release a new article (https://www.lebedinkofman.com/practice-areas/criminal-defense/federal-crimes/) discussing the different federal crimes where they may be able to help as criminal defense lawyers. The lawyers say in the article that in the United States, a federal crime is an offense made illegal by the U.S. Federal Legislation or a crime that occurs on U.S federal property.

“Federal law is governed by federal statutes, such as Title 18 of the U.S. Code, and federal case law. Federal cases differ from state cases, so it is critical that someone being investigated for or charged with a federal crime has the guidance of an attorney with significant experience in defending federal criminal cases,” according to the article from the New York federal crime attorneys.

Attorney Russ Kofman explains that federal crimes are very complicated and involve a lot of stakes. Federal criminal allegations are much more severe than just the typical street crimes, and anyone facing such allegations is in danger of losing their freedom. This is why it is important for a person facing charges of federal crimes to seek the help of an experienced criminal defense lawyer right away.

Attorney Arthur Lebedin adds that in federal court, there are many individuals who are initially charged with a document called a complaint. The defendant will usually receive a summons to appear in the court, or they will be issued a warrant to be arrested and brought to court. There are a lot of ways to resolve a federal criminal matter, depending on the facts and circumstances of each case.

In the article, the lawyers also enumerate the different types of federal crimes they are able to handle. These crimes include identity theft crimes, federal bank fraud, healthcare fraud, mortgage fraud, securities fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, and tax fraud.
