Powerful Defense for Federal Charges in Florida

Being charged with a federal crime is vastly different from facing state charges. Federal cases are prosecuted by U.S. Attorneys with the full weight of federal investigative agencies behind them, including the FBI, DEA, and IRS. If you’re under investigation or have been indicted in Miami or anywhere in Florida, you need an experienced federal criminal defense attorney immediately.

At El-Naffy Law, we understand the high stakes involved. Federal convictions often carry longer prison sentences, mandatory minimums, and life-altering consequences. Attorney Carolle El-Naffy, a seasoned trial lawyer and former Assistant Public Defender, brings extensive courtroom experience and strategic insight to every case.

What Constitutes a Federal Crime?

Federal crimes typically involve:

  • Violations of U.S. federal statutes

  • Crimes that cross state lines

  • Offenses on federal property

  • Cases involving federal agencies

Examples of federal offenses include:

  • Drug trafficking and conspiracy

  • Money laundering

The Federal Criminal Process

Federal cases follow a unique process that includes:

  • Investigation – Often lengthy and involving grand juries

  • Indictment – Formal charges filed in federal court

  • Arraignment – Entering a plea before a federal magistrate

  • Discovery and Motions – Reviewing evidence, challenging legality

  • Trial or Plea Bargain – If a resolution isn’t reached, the case proceeds to trial in U.S. District Court

The rules of procedure and evidence in federal court are complex and demand a legal team with specialized experience.
