The lead prosecutor in a federal prosecution is the United States Attorney. The state of New York has four districts. The city is divided into two of these. Kings County is in the Eastern District, and New York County is in the Southern District. Each district has a U.S. Attorney. An assistant U.S. Attorney will prosecute in the courtroom.

Federal Criminal Attorney in New York City

A person charged with a federal offense faces significant challenges. The U.S. government has effectively infinite resources to investigate and prosecute suspects. Many federal offenses carry mandatory minimum sentences, meaning the accused, if convicted, may face decades in prison regardless of whatever mitigating circumstances may exist.

However, there are often options available to the accused. The sooner a person facing charges contacts a skilled lawyer, the better the chances of a more positive resolution.
