My work gave me the knowledge and experience needed to provide efficient and favorable defense against a number of traffic citations, misdemeanor and felony charges, including:
- Criminal defense: I have successfully defended clients against charges relating to trespass, assault and battery, malicious wounding, petty or grand larceny, breaking and entering, drug possession, underage drinking, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and other criminal charges.
- Traffic violations: From speeding to DUI/DWI, I have the experience needed to defend you and your driving privileges against any traffic issue.
- Reckless driving Richmond: With an in-depth understanding of Virginia’s view on speeding and reckless priors, I am able to protect my clients’ driving privileges, including those individuals who drive for a living, such as truckers with CDL licenses. I am also able to protect members of the military against loss of security clearance stemming from these charges.
- Drug offenses: From simple drug possession to distribution and production, my years of experience give me the skill set to defend against the damage drug charges can do to your future.
