What Makes a Crime a Federal Offense?

Posted by Bobby Dale BarinaMar 26, 20250 Comments

Not all criminal cases are handled in state court. When an offense crosses state lines, involves a federal agency, or breaks federal law, the case is prosecuted in federal court.

Examples include:

  • Drug trafficking across state borders
  • Child pornography and internet crimes
  • Bank fraud or wire fraud
  • Firearms violations
  • Federal conspiracy or RICO charges

At Barina Law Group in Temple, we represent individuals under investigation or indictment by the U.S. Attorney's Office, DEA, ATF, or FBI. Federal court moves quickly, and the stakes are high—mandatory minimums, federal sentencing guidelines, and complex procedures.

If you're under federal investigation or already charged, early intervention is critical. Let us stand between you and the government.
