Effective and Aggressive Defense Against Criminal Charges

If you are facing felony or misdemeanor criminal charges, the attorneys at our firm can provide you with an honest assessment of your chances in court and straightforward advice designed to help you resolve your charges as quickly and favorably as possible. We defend against a wide range of traffic violations including reckless driving, driving under the influence (DUI), driving after suspension, and speeding.

As experienced criminal lawyers, we also have the knowledge and skill to defend you against serious criminal charges, such as drug crimes, property crimes, theft and larceny, assault, and other offenses. Whatever crime you have been charged with, we will work hard to protect your rights, your freedom, your drivers license and your future.

Focused on You and Your Needs

We take a great deal of pride in the way we communicate with our clients. We will keep you fully informed and as involved in your case as you want to be. From the very beginning to the conclusion of your case, our 24-hour a day commitment ensures that we will provide you with the highest levels of responsiveness and service.

Our Narrow Focus Provides In-Depth Knowledge

To serve our clients best, we have chosen to focus our talent and efforts in the areas of criminal defense and Social Security law. Instead of trying to be lawyers who can meet a wide variety of legal needs, we strive to provide the best possible representation in only a few areas of the law.

We focus our efforts geographically as well. We limit our practice to the trial courts of Fairfax County, Prince William County, and Loudoun County, as well as in the local federal courts of Northern Virginia. Our attorneys have developed a statewide reputation for the quality and effectiveness for our work in Northern Virginia.

As the result of our narrow focus, our clients benefit from our experience in these courts and the knowledge we have gained by practicing in just a few specific areas of the law for many years. This can be seen in each attorney's record of success.
