Harrisonburg Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers
Protecting Your Rights When Charged With a Federal Crime
The federal criminal justice system bears little resemblance to the process used by the Commonwealth of Virginia. If you are under federal investigation, if you're under indictment, or if you've been charged with a traffic misdemeanor on national park roads, you stand to benefit from the advice of a lawyer who understands the federal system.
Contact the Hart Law Offices in Harrisonburg or Charlottesville to learn about your options for resolving federal crime charges. With significant defense experience in the U.S. District Courts, John Hart knows how to protect you from the worst consequences of a conviction. If you get advance notice of your interest to federal prosecutors, he can also intervene on your behalf during the grand jury investigation stage of your case.

- Conspiracy to commit fraud or drug crimes
- Weapons offenses, including felon with a firearm charges
- Fraud crimes such as health care fraud, bank fraud or prescription fraud
In federal drug investigations, federal agents often go undercover to gather huge volumes of evidence implicating dozens of individuals at various points of a distribution network, from users and street-level dealers to regional bosses and kingpins. We can defend clients charged with any degree of involvement in a federal drug conspiracy.
If we can get involved in your defense before you've been indicted, so much the better. Although we can't appear with you in the grand jury room, we can go to work for you with the prosecution to help prevent indictment on the most serious federal crimes. We can also advise you about the best ways to minimize your exposure and avoid the mistakes that could make a bad situation worse.
In the federal system, sentencing decisions are made solely by the judge after trial or a negotiated plea. Our familiarity with the presentence investigation process and the federal sentencing guidelines may make a difference to the outcome of your case if the evidence against you indicates the advisability of a guilty plea.
If you're facing federal drug trafficking charges, weapons charges or fraud charges, the Hart Law Offices can go to work right away to protect your interests. Contact us in Harrisonburg or Charlottesville for a free consultation.
