- A.H.Robert was very respectful, swift, and understanding of my families needs. Robert executed with great professionalism and was able to get my Father’s charges dropped completely. I was especially impressed with his ability to structure the case such that only a positive outcome was possible. There was no room for prosecution to attempt to stick the charge.
Robert was able to swiftly overcome the constraints of COVID and even drove down to Virginia to push the case forward.
Moving forward our family will exclusively work with Robert for all legal matters and I consider him to be among the best attorneys in the DC area.

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.
