There is also the possibility that you may be charged with a crime at both the State level and the Federal level. In this case, you must answer to the charges in each court.

While most attorneys can adequately represent you in State court, very few have the knowledge and experience to represent you in Federal Court. Federal sentencing guidelines require that judges must impose pre-determined minimum mandatory sentence and, even though the judges may feel that the sentence is excessive, they have virtually no authority to deviate from those guidelines. An attorney who can navigate the complicated "point" system upon which the sentencing guidelines are based, may be able to successfully "argue" your case in federal court resulting in a reduced sentence or even dismissal.
