A Strong Defense for All Criminal Charges

I have been defending clients throughout Central Virginia for over 20 years. During that time, I have developed a strong knowledge of the local court processes and the prosecuting attorneys. I know how to fight in the best interest of my client during trial, DMV hearing, appeals and extradition. I defend clients in criminal law matters, including:

  • Violent crimes: I defend clients who are facing charges for using or threatening to use violence against another person. This includes assault, battery, domestic violence and sex crimes.
  • Property crimes: If you are facing charges for taking or damaging another person's property, I can help. I defend clients who are facing charges for burglary, theft, trespassing or vandalism.
  • Drug crimes: I represent clients whose freedom is at stake because of alleged drug possession, trafficking, distribution or manufacturing.
  • Traffic crimes: If you are facing charges for driving on a suspended license, drunk driving, reckless driving or hit and run, I can help you fight the charges.
  • While collar crimes: I defend professionals who are facing charges of white collar crimes, including fraud, bad checks and forgery.
  • Juvenile crimes: I represent young adults who are involved in the criminal law system. I defend teenagers who are facing school expulsion hearings and suspension hearings.

If you or a loved one is facing charges for alleged criminal activity, you need a lawyer who can help protect your freedom. Contact me online or call 804-717-5656 to schedule your free consultation.
