FELONY AND MISDEMEANOR CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Whether you are charged with embezzlement, fraud, assault and battery, property crimes, juvenile crime, or shoplifting, you have a right to be defended by an experienced criminal lawyer in the Virginia courts. Charges or sentences may be able to be reduced, or in some cases, the offense could be expunged from your record.

DUI / DWI CRIMINAL DEFENSE AND TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS

Traffic violations and convictions for drunk driving (DUI) can lead to fines, loss of driving privileges, confiscation of your vehicle, and jail. In some cases, our DUI attorneys may be able to your get charges reduced or your driver's license restored.

DRUG CHARGES

Drug offenses, including drug possession, sale, gifting, intent to distribute, and distribution may be either misdemeanors or felonies. From the time of your arraignment through negotiation, trial, sentencing, and any appeal, you are entitled to representation by your criminal attorney.

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CLAIMS AND APPEALS

Social security disability claims are routinely denied after the initial application, even when they are valid. The disabled worker then must go through the process of reconsideration (appeal), which is a hearing before an administrative law judge. We have a high (80-85%) success rate in obtaining favorable outcomes for our clients at administrative hearings. Our social security disability case legal fees are contingent on the success of your claim and award.

EXPUNGEMENT

If the charges against you result in acquittal, nolle prosequi (case is set aside), dismissal, or pardon, we can help you obtain an expungement, where the record is removed from public access and sealed.
