Federal Drug Crimes in Virginia Beach
What Drug Crimes Fall Under Federal Jurisdiction?
If you have been charged with a federal drug offense in Virginia, your first move should be to find legal representation. Drug crimes carry severe penalties, and our state imposes some of the most severe penalties. On top of that, you may also have to face the federal criminal justice system.
Our Virginia Beach criminal defense lawyer, Daniel J. Miller, is here to protect the rights of those accused of serious crimes. Known for exceptional and attentive legal counsel and a knack for problem-solving, we trust that we can be the ally you need in this difficult time.
How Prosecutors Handle Federal Drug Cases
Prosecutors will be aggressive when it comes to unearthing evidence and presenting their arguments in the courtroom. They have access to all of the resources that the federal government has available. This means that they will not only move very quickly but also will be loaded with immense firepower at trial.
Therefore, you can be certain that the penalties for a federal drug crime are severe. This will include steep fines and lengthy prison terms. Due to the complexity of these cases, it is so important to consult with a knowledgeable attorney to come to your defense when faced with charges of a federal drug crime.
If convicted, a federal judge will use many factors to determine one’s sentencing. These factors include:
- The type of drugs
- The amount of the substance
- If another person was injured in the case
- Whether or not a weapon was used
- The location of the alleged offense
- If the defendant has a criminal record

Call Dan Miller now - you need look no further for the best divorce attorney in Hampton Roads. Divorce is not an easy situation but it is even worse if you do not have good representation.
I was in the midst of a divorce and my case was with a firm that was not representing me fairly and not answering my questions. I was at a loss and dreaded going to court. Then a friend told me of Dan Miller. I wish I had found this firm in the beginning! From the first hour of turning my case over to this office I stopped worrying. I knew I had made the right choice and my case was in good hands. Dan Miller was professional, and he fought for me and I was very happy with the way he handled my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens

Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.
However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!

Mr. Miller and his team worked diligently on my case and I am forever truly greatly. It was a long process but with prayer and fasting, I had faith in Mr. Miller and his team to get the results that I prayed for. They were straight forward and very patient at the same time. My husband is the one who search for lawyers/attorneys and Mr. Miller was the first and only choice. I can't say enough how grateful I am for all your hard work and fight that you did behind the scenes. God bless you Mr. Miller and your whole team.- M. Sellers
