Northern Virginia Federal Court
Criminal charges can be addressed at the federal level, depending on the severity or nature of the crime. Defending yourself against a federal felony is not a simple matter. You need an attorney who knows the ins and outs of federal court. Some common federal crimes include:
- DUI/DWI on federal property
- Reckless driving on federal property
- Federal drug charges
- Kidnapping
- Internet child pornography
- Fraud
Crimes on Federal Property
The location of a crime can also determine where a case is tried. With many government buildings, roads and property in Virginia, even common traffic violations, such as reckless driving, can be tried in Virginia's U.S. district courts. If you have been charged with DUI or reckless driving on federal property, such as the George Washington Memorial Parkway, the numerous federal parks, or even the CIA property, seek legal counsel as soon as possible.
