Experienced Virginia Lawyer
When you are working through the legal system, it is important to work with a lawyer who can give you the representation you need at every step of the process. I am attorney Charles P. Phelps, and I have over 20 years of experience representing clients throughout Chesterfield County and Central Virginia. I represent clients in legal matters, including:
- Criminal law: I defend clients who are facing criminal charges because of violent crimes, property crimes, drug crimes, traffic crimes and white collar crimes. Whether you are a juvenile or adult, I can represent you in trial, appeals, the DMV hearing or extradition.
- Traffic violations: I defend clients in both the DMV hearing and criminal hearing. If you were arrested for driving on a suspended license, drunk driving, or other traffic violations, an experienced lawyer can help protect your driving privileges. I represent local and out of state drivers who are facing traffic charges.
- Reckless driving: If you were pulled over for driving more than 20 mph over the speed limit, you may be worried about losing your license. I represent clients who are facing misdemeanor charges for speeding, failing to signal a turn properly, racing or trying to escape a police officer.
- Small business representation: I offer businesses the legal counsel they need as they begin, develop and grow. Choosing the right entity at the inception of a business can help prevent unnecessary litigation down the road. I also offer ongoing general counsel to address matters such as buying or selling, contracts and collections.
- Immigration work: Habla Español. I work with members of the Hispanic community and other immigrants who would like to live in Virginia. I help clients who are facing problems because of family immigration, permanent residency or citizenship petitions. I also represent clients with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) renewals.
