The federal court system functions in roughly the same way as the state court systems, but there are some important differences. For example, federal cases are brought by United States Attorneys instead of prosecutors or district attorneys. While you can be charged and tried under both systems, usually when the federal government steps in, the State will step out.
Most federal cases proceed the same way, and knowing the steps in the criminal charging process can help ease some of the anxiety related to a federal charge. A Miami federal criminal attorney can help you through this process, and will be there for you every step of the way.
