FEDERAL CRIMES
Navigating Federal Charges in Virginia? We Know the Federal System.
When you are charged with a federal crime, you are no longer just dealing with local law enforcement. You're facing the full weight of the United States government. Federal charges carry longer sentences, higher fines, and tougher prosecutors, and the investigative agencies behind these cases often spend months or even years building them before making an arrest.
At Battlefield Law Group, we understand the complexity of federal criminal cases and the urgency of early legal intervention. Our defense attorneys represent clients in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, one of the fastest-moving federal courts in the country, often referred to as the "Rocket Docket."
What Are Federal Crimes?
A federal crime is any offense that violates United States law or occurs across state lines, on federal property, or involves federal agencies. Common federal charges include:
Drug trafficking and large-scale conspiracy cases
(Often charged under 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 and 846)Firearm offenses involving federal jurisdiction
(Such as possession by a prohibited person – 18 U.S.C. § 922(g))Mail fraud, wire fraud, and bank fraud
(18 U.S.C. §§ 1341, 1343, 1344)Identity theft and internet-based crimes
Child pornography or online solicitation involving interstate elements
Crimes on military bases or federal property
Immigration-related offenses
Federal charges are typically investigated by agencies such as:
FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation)
DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration)
ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives)
DHS (Department of Homeland Security)
Secret Service and IRS-Criminal Investigation Division
These agencies work closely with Assistant U.S. Attorneys who are highly trained and often unwilling to negotiate unless they know the defense is strong.
Our Approach to Federal Defense
At Battlefield Law Group, we don’t wait to react. We intervene early, challenge procedural errors, and use expert witnesses and national-level defense strategies. Our attorneys attend continuing legal education conferences across the country specifically focused on complex federal litigation and constitutional defense.
We analyze:
Search warrants and probable cause issues
Forensic evidence, digital data, and surveillance
Conspiracy allegations that may rest on weak or circumstantial links
Violations of constitutional rights under the 4th, 5th, or 6th Amendments
In cases involving drugs or firearms, we also explore connections to DUI or traffic stops, which may provide a foundation to challenge the original seizure or arrest.
Did You Know?
According to the United States Sentencing Commission, over 85% of federal criminal defendants are convicted, often due to plea deals made without strong legal advice. Early legal strategy makes a major difference in federal court.
