Federal Lawyers Passionately Fighting Against Your Charges of False Identification Documents

The following three elements must exist for a person to be convicted of the federal crime of false identification documents:

• The person charged possessed five or more false identification documents;
• The possession was knowing and willful with the intent to unlawfully transfer the false identification documents; and
• The possession of the false identification documents was in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce.

Because the federal government has virtually unlimited resources to pursue its charges, of all criminal charges, federal charges are the most intimidating. If you are under investigation for a federal crime, it is very important that you contact a criminal defense lawyer immediately so that you do not make any statements that will make matters worse for you. Although the federal government typically focuses on major drug offenses and cybercrimes, you don't have to be accused of an extremely serious offense to face federal charges. Possession of false identification documents may not seem very serious compared to other federal crimes, however the federal sentencing guidelines will apply to any federal charges. Even a minor offense, if committed on federal property such as a national park, can result in federal charges.

Federal judges are very strict and almost always stick to the very severe sentencing guidelines, and there is usually no chance for parole.
