“Simply masterful.”
- D.D.C.In November 2024, I watched Mr. Jenkins cross-examine the Commonwealth of Virginia's most important witness against his client. (This was a high-profile case, and the media reports made it appear that his client had no chance to win.) The witness was a law enforcement officer.
Because I cross-examine people for a living and I study my craft, I know stellar work.
Mr. Jenkins's cross-examination was spectacular. He torpedoed the Commonwealth's case. He turned that witness into a witness for his client. Simply masterful.

Understanding Federal Crimes in Virginia
As we mentioned before, most crimes – whether it’s theft or murder – are violations of state law. However, if a criminal offense involves some sort of federal or national interest, then the federal court has jurisdiction over such a case.
Common Types of Federal Drug Offenses
The federal government handles the following types of crimes:
- Any crime that occurs on federal property – From federal banks and military bases to national forests and Indian reservations, any offense committed on federal land will be handled by federal authorities, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), or another federal law enforcement department.
- Any crime that takes place in more than one state – For instance, a wire fraud scheme involving perpetrators and victims in multiple states.
