Federal Crimes
Federal offenses are those which violate federal law. Often, these crimes take place across state lines or are committed on federal property or on Native American reservations. Title 18 of the United States federal criminal and penal code delineates many of the crimes that may be prosecuted in federal court by U.S. Attorney offices. Many federal agencies may be used to investigate federal crimes and bring federal offenders to justice. If you have been arrested and charged or are under a federal investigation into criminal activity in or around Las Vegas, you will need a criminal defense attorney who is licensed to practice in federal court and who is experienced in how these cases are handled.
At Hofland & Tomsheck, you can take advantage of the experience and skill of a former Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney who has achieved the prestigious status of Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. That is the level of training, competence, and professionalism that you will want when facing tough federal investigators and prosecutors whose general goal is to punish you to the fullest extent of the law.

Federal agencies may spend months or years conducting intensive investigations into suspected federal crimes. These agencies include the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the IRS, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the U.S. Marshals, Secret Service, and more. Certain federal offense convictions may result in mandatory minimum sentences, such as federal drug crimes. In other cases of federal crimes, however, your attorney at Hofland & Tomsheck may be able to persuade a federal judge to hand down reduced penalties through compelling sentencing arguments.
