People who are charged with a criminal offense in Virginia need every extra advantage possible, because the state vigorously pursues many types of criminal cases. For students at Norfolk State University, Hampton University, Highwater Community College, Old Dominion University and Virginia Wesleyan College, a conviction can result in expulsion, loss of scholarship and loss of campus housing.
As a former chief deputy commonwealth's attorney, I have unique experience and insight into the tactics that prosecutors try to use against people who are charged with a crime. This can be invaluable when I represent clients facing misdemeanor or felony charges involving:
- Violent crimes
- Sex crimes
- Property crimes
- Illegal drug/prescription drug crimes
- DUI
- Underage drinking
- Traffic violations
- Fraud
There are countless types of legal cases, so your criminal case matter may not be listed above. Please contact me to arrange a comprehensive and confidential initial case evaluation, so I can explain your legal rights and options for resolution.
I am a former Virginia prosecutor, and I have been certified by the state of Virginia as a lead attorney in capital murder defense cases. This recognition is awarded to only the most experienced criminal defense lawyers.
