Overview

Few people consider themselves a criminal and even fewer think ahead to having a need for help by a skilled criminal defense attorney. Unfortunately, ordinary people sometimes wind up in complex situations that result in criminal charges. These charges can span anything from a DUI charge to a complex RICO violation for money laundering. Fortunately, no matter what you are being charged with, we can help. Our attorneys never assume you are guilty and we never assume you simply want to plead your case down for the lowest charge. We carefully work with each client to develop the best possible criminal defense strategy that fits the client’s needs for any charge in any court.

Misdemeanors

Misdemeanor crimes can result in jail time up to a year. If convicted, the misdemeanor will most likely remain on your permanent record. Our attorneys have helped countless clients getting misdemeanor charges dropped completely, dismissed after trial or reduced to a monetary fine. Rest assured the officer or prosecutor charging you with a misdemeanor is taking your charge seriously, and you need to as well. Contact one of our attorneys now to fight your charges head on.

Felonies

Virginia felonies range from felony 1 to felony 6. A felony 6 can result to up to 5 years in prison, while a felony 1 may result in a life sentence. Our attorneys consider every possible angle for your felony defense including a constitutional rights defense, an affirmative defense such as self-defense, an alibi defense, and many others. Unlike big criminal defense firms, who rely on getting their clients a guilty plea; we assume you are innocent and want to prove your innocence at a jury trial. We will work with you to build the best possible defense strategy and fight all the way until you hear the famous two words from the jury “not guilty”.

Our attorneys handle charges of assault, weapons charges, burglary, drunk driving, drug charges and violent crimes. If you’ve been arrested, it is vital that you contact an attorney prior to making any statement to the police, no matter what the charge your facing. Contact us first to speak for you.

White Collar Crimes

Most white-collar crimes are charged by federal prosecutors in federal court. Our attorneys defend clients who have been charged with money laundering, embezzlement, health care fraud, mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, securities fraud, racketeering, and RICO violations. The crimes are often designated as complex and require sophisticated attorneys with more knowledge than your average former prosecutor or public defend from state courts. If you have been charged with one of these crimes, contact us immediately to start fighting the United States Attorneys who have most likely been investigating you for years.

Please contact our firm immediately to meet with a skilled and experienced lawyer today. Our attorneys are always willing to help with your legal issue, no matter how big or how small.
