Devoted to Protecting Clients from the Heavy Hand of the Law

We are well aware that any type of criminal accusation can carry serious implications – and it can only get worse if a conviction is delivered. Individuals who are only accused of a crime could experience serious ramifications, like strains on personal or professional relationships. Conviction could lead to a permanent criminal record and the negative connotations associated with it.

As experienced and skilled criminal defense lawyers, we have committed our firm to the following:

  • Structuring a defense strategy to prevent collateral consequences
  • Creating effective defenses that reduce or minimize penalties
  • Non-judgmental representation for clients from all walks of life
  • Preventing things like military discipline, school discipline, or loss of security clearance
  • Helping clients avoid or minimize other future issues in a criminal matter

Developing defense strategies that can accomplish all of the above will take finesse, skill, and preparation. Meticulous preparation and thorough case investigation are cornerstone values of our firm. One of our attorneys is a former prosecutor who understands how the opposing side will handle a criminal matter. We use our unique insight to determine any potential obstacles or weak spots in your case and create an effective, persuasive defense strategy in your favor.

Commonly Asked Questions

What types of criminal charges can a Fredericksburg attorney defend against?

A Fredericksburg criminal defense attorney can defend against a wide range of charges, including misdemeanors and felonies. Common cases include driving under the influence (DUI), drug offenses, violent crimes, and sex crimes. Each type of charge carries its own set of potential consequences, and having a knowledgeable attorney can help mitigate these risks. They will work diligently to protect your rights and ensure that you receive a fair trial, regardless of the severity of the charges you are facing.

What are the potential consequences of a criminal conviction in Virginia?

In Virginia, a criminal conviction can lead to serious consequences that extend beyond legal penalties. Depending on the nature of the crime, you may face fines, imprisonment, or probation. Additionally, a conviction can result in a permanent criminal record, which can affect your employment opportunities, housing applications, and personal relationships. It may also lead to collateral consequences such as loss of professional licenses or military discipline. Therefore, it is essential to have a strong defense to minimize the impact of any charges against you.

What should I do immediately after being charged with a crime in Fredericksburg?

If you find yourself facing criminal charges in Fredericksburg, the first step is to remain calm and avoid making any statements to law enforcement without legal representation.
