Criminal Law
In Virginia, a conviction for a criminal misdemeanor or a felony will result in a record for life. With a criminal record following you for the rest of your life, you could experience: limited job opportunities, loss of employment, damage to your reputation, financial penalties; and potentially even the inability to vote and travel internationally.
An experienced and aggressive criminal lawyer has the expertise to build legally sound arguments and the tenacity to fight to get your charges reduced, or even withdrawn. It takes a reputable and local criminal attorney to successfully negotiate with the Commonwealth attorneys and who is familiar with the judges and prosecutors of that area, as different judges can have varying approaches, especially in areas of the law that allow discretion.
