Aggressive Defense for Federal Offenses

Facing federal charges for a crime is a life-altering event with severe legal consequences, including lengthy prison sentences, heavy fines, and permanent damage to your reputation. Unlike state-level cases, violent federal offenses are prosecuted by powerful agencies such as the FBI, ATF, and U.S. Department of Justice, often carrying mandatory minimum sentences and enhanced penalties. If you or a loved one is under investigation or has been charged with a federal crime, securing experienced legal representation is essential to protecting your rights and building a strong defense.


At The Law Offices of Thomas J. McHugh, PLLC, we provide strategic and aggressive defense for individuals facing serious federal charges. We understand the complexities of federal criminal law and fight tirelessly to challenge the prosecution’s evidence, negotiate for reduced charges, and protect your freedom.

Understanding Federal Offenses

Federal jurisdiction over violent crimes is triggered under specific circumstances, such as interstate activity, organized crime involvement, or crimes committed on federal property. Some of the most common federal offenses include:

  • Murder and Attempted Murder – Certain homicide cases fall under federal law, particularly if the crime involves federal property, federal law enforcement officers, or crimes that cross state lines.
  • Federal Kidnapping Charges – Cases where a victim is transported across state lines or involves federal employees, children, or ransom demands may lead to federal prosecution.
  • Crimes in Aid of Racketeering (RICO Crimes) – Gang-related offenses, organized crime violence, and criminal enterprise-related acts often result in enhanced federal charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
  • Illegal Gun Possession and Firearms Trafficking – Federal firearm offenses include felon in possession of a firearm, firearm trafficking across state lines, and ATF investigations related to illegal gun sales and possession.
  • Assault and Battery on Federal Property or Federal Employees – Crimes committed against federal law enforcement officers, postal workers, or other government employees—or those taking place on military bases, national parks, or other federal property—are prosecuted under federal assault laws.
  • Felon in Possession of a Firearm – Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), it is illegal for convicted felons to own, possess, or distribute firearms, leading to harsh federal sentencing guidelines if convicted.
