Finding Solutions to Serious Legal Problems Since 1983
A criminal record is a serious problem. It can prevent you from getting or keeping a job, reduce or eliminate your child custody and visitation rights, and damage your reputation. I have more than 25 years' experience as a defense attorney for adults and juveniles. I know how to find solutions to serious legal problems.
Avoiding Criminal Charges
Criminal charges can often be minimized or sometimes avoided altogether. Just because a charge was filed, does not always mean it will stay on your record. If police or prosecutors used improper procedures, I may be able to get your charge reduced or dismissed.
My Northern Virginia law practice investigates all criminal charges to determine whether they are valid. If I discover that they are not, I use my criminal defense experience to fight to have them dropped.
Reducing Criminal Charges
Since 1983, I have been providing criminal defense strategies for Fairfax County clients. I understand that the severity of your criminal charges directly affects your life. I strive to find ways to reduce your charges. This can include negotiating with prosecutors, enrolling you in counseling, and forcefully advocating your case in court when that best promotes your interests. The goal of an experienced criminal defense attorney — especially one with a demonstrated and sustained record of client successes in many matters — is to always minimize a client's damages and legal consequences to the fullest extent possible.
Going to Court
Certain DWI (also known as a DUI in some states) and drug charges provide less room for negotiation. Were you arrested for possession and distribution of marijuana, cocaine or crack or methamphetamines? I can accurately weigh the risks and benefits of taking your case to trial. You might have a better outcome in court. I have more than 25 years' experience as a defense lawyer. I have fought for my clients' rights in state, federal and juvenile court.
