As a former chief deputy commonwealth's attorney, I have unique experience and insight into the tactics that are used by the state against people who are charged with a crime. I have extensive courtroom experience and a strong network of experts who can support my criminal defense strategies with expert testimony, whenever necessary.
Since 1984, I have been recognized as a Norfolk criminal defense attorney, a Virginia personal injury lawyer and a Hampton Roads family law legal litigator who has the ability to aggressively litigate and negotiate a wide range of legal matters, including:
- Personal injury — motor vehicle/motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, defective products and any type of serious accidents resulting in serious injury, catastrophic injury or death
- Workplace accidents — negligence and third-party claims
- Medical/dental malpractice — diagnosis errors, surgical errors, improper or insufficient treatment, hospital negligence, nursing home abuse and birth injuries
- Civil litigation — business disputes, contract disputes and other civil matters
- Family law — divorce, separations, child custody and visitation, child support and alimony, and property and debt division
- Estate planning — Wills, trusts, living trusts and guardianships
- Criminal defense/appeals — violent crime, property crime, serious traffic violations — representation for juveniles and adults
There are countless types of legal cases, so your case matter may not be listed above. Please contact me to arrange a confidential initial case evaluation, so I can explain your legal rights and options for resolution.
People come to the Law Office of Joseph C. Lindsey, P.C., have become well known for providing comprehensive legal representation as well as personal attention to clients. My dedication to client service includes a commitment to providing my clients with regular updates regarding the status of their cases and prompt responses to e-mails and phone calls.
Many times, people have legal problems that are related to more than one area of the law. They are relieved to know that I have a broad scope of legal experience and can handle many issues that are the result of the initial legal matter. For example, a divorce may create the need for revisions to an estate plan. My clients do not need to hire an additional attorney in these types of scenarios, because I resolve a wide range of legal matters including estate issues that arise from a divorce proceeding.
I understand the unique sacrifices made by the U.S. military service members and/or their families, so I offer discounted legal services to accommodate their legal needs as well as their budgets.
