Ohio Federal Crimes We Handle

In the United States, there are various offenses that an individual can be charged with when they violate a federal law or statute.

At Blackney Law, our attorney is here to defend individuals who have been accused of the following federal crimes in Ohio:

• Federal white-collar crimes. These are nonviolent crimes that often have a financial gain motivation. Charges can include bank fraud, insurance fraud, wire or mail fraud, money laundering, securities fraud, and healthcare fraud. The FBI estimates 1,095 reported cases of money laundering in the U.S. in 2024.
• Federal sex crimes. While sex crimes are rarely prosecuted by federal jurisdiction, there are certain cases in Ohio where it can happen. Typically, these crimes happen when an individual is forced across state lines in order to perform sexual acts. Common crimes include sex trafficking or child pornography.
• Federal drug crimes. When certain drug crimes take place across state or national lines, they can fall under federal jurisdiction. One person in the United States is arrested for drug crimes every 35 seconds. Federal charges include drug trafficking, drug importation, and drug exportation.
• Federal weapons crimes. Common gun and weapon crimes that fall under federal jurisdiction include commercial robbery, possession of a firearm by a prohibited individual, sale of a firearm to a prohibited person, and illegal possession of a firearm.
