Which Charges Are Federal Charges?

There are federal crime statutes for nearly every type of offense that can be charged on the state level. Often it is the circumstances of the alleged crime—such as the involvement of government officials or the crossing of state lines—that allow it to fall under federal jurisdiction.

We are prepared to defend clients in the Northern District of Ohio in cases involving:

• Conspiracy
• Drug crimes
• Fraud
• Murder
• Weapons crimes
• Child pornography
• Tax crimes

Choosing Experienced Counsel

Not every law firm is equipped to handle federal cases and assuming that federal cases are "basically the same" as state cases is the fastest route to an unfavorable outcome. Federal prosecution and sentencing works differently than Ohio's system and making sure your attorney is well-versed in this process is key to ensuring that you stand every chance of a dismissal or a reduction of your charges.

At Patituce & Associates, our Ohio federal criminal defense lawyers bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to every case we handle. Our founder Attorney Joseph Patituce is a former state prosecutor who has more than 90% success rate in trials he handles and has fostered a diligent and tenacious approach to criminal defense at our firm. We're not looking for the easiest plea deal to resolve our clients' cases—we're seeking for the outcome that produces as little impact on their lives as possible.
