Criminal Laws in Nebraska
The differences between federal and criminal law in Nebraska
Criminal laws identify unlawful conduct by people who will be punished by imprisonment and fines. The punishments may vary between state or Nebraska criminal law and federal criminal law. In fact, federal charges often involve more investigation and evidence review than state charges. This means higher stakes for the defendant. The sentences in federal cases are determined in part by harsh sentencing guidelines, and may involve mandatory minimum sentences, increasing the consequences of a conviction. The Nebraska criminal law firm of McGoughLaw P.C. L.L.O. takes federal criminal trial preparation very seriously. We understand what is at stake and work aggressively to reduce sentencing exposure to avoid conviction.
