Denver, CO criminal defense attorney David Lindsey talks how to hire a CO lawyer to defend you against federal charges. He explains that when dealing with a federal crime, it is crucial to engage a lawyer who possesses experience in federal court proceedings. Federal prosecutions differ significantly from state prosecutions, necessitating the expertise of an attorney well-versed in this specific area. It is essential to have legal representation familiar with aspects such as the sentencing guidelines, the Bail Reform Act, and the functioning of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. In instances where I handle federal cases outside of Colorado, I always collaborate with local counsel, as their knowledge of how each U.S. Attorney’s Office operates is invaluable.
