Legal Authority: Statute and Case Law
- Federal sentencing is governed by 18 USC 3553(a), and federal drug trafficking offenses by 21 USC 841.
- United States v Booker, 543 US 220, 245 (2005) — the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Federal Sentencing Guidelines are advisory rather than mandatory, meaning a federal judge must calculate and consider the guideline range but has discretion to sentence outside of it based on the statutory factors.
For the current statutory text, see the Cornell Legal Information Institute’s U.S. Code database.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a federal criminal case different from a state case?
Federal cases are investigated and prosecuted by federal agencies and U.S. Attorneys with substantial resources, tend to be more methodical in building evidence, and a federal conviction generally cannot later be expunged.
What types of crimes are prosecuted federally?
Examples include drug trafficking, tax evasion and fraud, bank robbery, mail fraud, RICO or racketeering, computer and internet crimes, counterfeiting, and import or export violations.
What should I do if I’m under federal investigation?
Contact an experienced federal criminal defense attorney immediately, since federal prosecutors have significant resources and a large share of federal cases end in conviction.
Can a federal conviction be removed from my record later?
In most cases, no. Federal convictions typically cannot be expunged, which makes early, aggressive defense especially important.
