What Makes a Case Federal?

A Different System, With Higher Stakes

Federal cases are prosecuted by U.S. Attorneys, investigated by agencies like the FBI, DEA, IRS-CI, and HSI, and decided under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. Mandatory minimum sentences, detention hearings, and a conviction rate above 90% make the federal system unforgiving of inexperience.

George Law limits its practice to federal cases in Florida’s Southern, Middle, and Northern Districts and Michigan’s Eastern and Western Districts. From the first knock on the door to the last appellate brief, your defense is built specifically for federal court.

Common Questions

Federal Defense FAQs

In a federal investigation, a target is someone prosecutors believe committed a crime; a subject is someone whose conduct falls within the investigation’s scope; a witness has information. Your status can change quickly — an attorney can find out where you stand and protect you accordingly.

Yes. Many drug, firearm, and exploitation offenses carry mandatory minimums of five, ten, or more years. Avoiding those minimums — through suppression, negotiation, or safety-valve relief — is a central part of federal defense strategy.

Sometimes. In the pre-indictment window, an attorney can present evidence, negotiate with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and in some cases secure a declination or reduced charges before the grand jury ever votes.
