Scottsdale Federal Crimes Defense Attorney

Defending Your Rights on the Federal Level

In general, if you are charged with a crime on the state level, you will be prosecuted in state court, and if convicted, you will face time in county jail or state prison. There are some crimes, however, which are illegal on both the state and federal level, and it is possible for you to be charged with a federal crime in addition to a state criminal charge. 

Being charged with a federal offense is a very different process, and you will need a criminal defense lawyer who is not only permitted to practice in federal courts, as Attorney Craig is, but also one who can match the prosecution conducting the investigation, which will likely have extensive resources, such as the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), or DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). Another difference between federal crimes and state crimes is the penalties. A federal conviction means that if you are sentenced to prison, it will be in a federal prison, and the fines are likely much more steep. 

Some of the most common types of federal crimes which the Law Offices of Randall J. Craig have defended are:

  • Bank fraud
  • Crimes committed on federal property
  • Certain crimes committed across state or country boundaries
  • Child pornography
  • Sex crimes committed against children
  • Hacking
  • Money laundering
  • Firearms trafficking

Attorney Craig is well-known among Arizona State and federal courts for his extensive knowledge of criminal law and aggressive defense of his clients' rights. He has been recognized and awarded by multiple organizations, and is completely dedicated to providing you with the best legal representation and legal counsel possible.

Our Client Success Stories

    “Expertise and quick action”
    Thanks so much!! Really appreciate your valued expertise and quick action.
    - Kevin E.
    “His assistant Jennifer Prescott is amazing and between the two of them I was always informed. And they always kept me calm. Randy saved my life and saved my families life as well. Thank you Randy”
    I was facing 50+ years in prison for false charges. Randy believed in me. My public defender tried to convince me that Jail and years of intense probation were my only option. I then hired Randy. 3 months later my case was dismissed and I am now at home with my family and get to watch my son grow up. His assistant Jennifer Prescott is amazing and between the two of them I was always informed. And they always kept me calm. Randy saved my life and saved my families life as well. Thank you Randy. I have a "checkered past" to say the least and have dealt with over 10 attorneys in my life. Randy is head and shoulders above the rest! THANK YOU RANDY!!

    “ I ended up spending twice as much for bumbling incompetence. I received more good advice FREE from Randall than the bum I paid. If I need a Lawyer again in AZ, it will be Randall.”
    I screwed up bad by not getting this lawyer. He gave me a flat rate which I thought was a little high for what seemed like a slam dunk case. I stupidly went for another lawyer's sales pitch who promised to go after corrupt cops (he didn't). I ended up spending twice as much for bumbling incompetence. I received more good advice FREE from Randall than the bum I paid. If I need a Lawyer again in AZ, it will be Randall.
