Federal charges require a knowledgeable defense from an attorney that understands the federal justice system and has the resources to handle complex criminal proceedings. Federal cases are handled differently than state charges - complete with its own rules of evidence and a unique set of sentencing guidelines.

Federal prosecutors seldom file charges unless a strong case is present. Due to the nature of our federal system, it is critical for anyone facing federal charges to have an experienced criminal defense attorney on their side that has a solid understanding of the federal system.

The Law Office of Dee Wampler and Joseph Passanise fiercely defend the rights of people charged with federal crimes. Dee Wampler is a former prosecutor who was elected one of the the youngest prosecuting attorneys in Greene County, Missouri. Joseph Passanise is nationally recognized attorney with more than 20 years of legal experience. When searching for a criminal defense firm you want a team that understands both sides of the case.

Wikipedia defines a federal crime as:

a crime that is made illegal by U.S. federal legislation. This includes many crimes that, if they did not occur on U.S. federal property would otherwise fall under state or local law. Some crimes are listed in Title 18 of the United States Code, but others fall under other titles; for instance, tax evasion and possession of weapons banned by the National Firearms Act are criminalized in Title 26 of the United States Code.
