Federal Crimes: How Do I Defend Myself Against Federal Prosecutors?

News & Info

If you are the subject of a federal crime investigation, chances are you won’t know until the prosecution has already gathered most of the evidence. You should find an experienced lawyer to defend you quickly, because once federal agents have gathered their evidence, they will try to get a confession out of you. Your best rule of thumb is to use your right to remain silent around any federal officers because they may use what you say at any time as a confession.

When it comes to building a strong defense against federal charges, it’s important to have an experienced team of lawyers on your side.

Automobile Theft in Utah: How Do I Defend My Case?
In Utah, automobile theft is classified within the broader theft and robbery laws. However, stealing a car has its own penalties. For example, stealing property that is valued between $500 and $1,500 is considered a class A misdemeanor and the punishment could be up to 364 days in jail and/or up to $2,500 fine. BUT if the property stolen is a car, even if its value is less than $1,500, the crime is automatically considered a second-degree felony. And that could mean one to 15 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. So, whether someone steals a 1988 Honda Accord or a 2022 Tesla, the punishment is the same. There is no differentiation in the law for the value of the vehicle. If you steal a car, you steal a car, and that’s classified as a second-degree felony.
