We have extensive first chair trial experience before juries and judges in criminal cases. Click the link above for more details on our felony practice.
Criminal Defense -Misdemeanors
Misdemeanors are crimes punishable by up to one year in jail. Although the penalties for misdemeanors are less severe than those for felonies, misdemeanor convictions can have serious ramifications on your life, reputation, and career. For this reason, our lawyers represent clients facing misdemeanor charges with the same creativity and vigor as they would if the client were facing a serious felony charge.

We represent clients in criminal appeals in the Virginia state courts and federal courts throughout the country. We have experience in the Virginia Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of Virginia as well as the Fourth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeal.
In addition to our criminal practice, we have significant civil litigation practice in the following areas: general civil litigation, contract disputes, employment, non-compete agreements, theft of trade secrets, computer law, arbitration, security clearance law and defense of civil commitment cases.
Security Clearance Denials or Revocations
We represent clients who face security clearance denials or revocations at administrative hearings and appeals. Because criminal prosecutions carry negative implications for a person’s security clearance, we developed an expertise in this area in order to more effectively represent those clients who hold, or may need, a security clearance.
