Criminal Law

Resourceful Virginia Criminal Law Attorneys

The Virginia court system can be intimidating. If you face criminal charges, contact an experienced WAW criminal defense lawyer early in the process, preferably before questioning or an investigation begins. The sooner you retain an attorney, the sooner we can begin protecting your freedom and rights. Hiring a lawyer during the early stages of the criminal process may increase the possibility that no charges will be filed, or that the charges may be reduced or even dropped.  Our attorneys are experienced trial lawyers, fully prepared to provide our clients with sound counsel and powerful advocacy. 

We are experienced Virginia lawyers who understand the local criminal system. Throughout the years, our attorneys have become familiar with the judges and prosecutors who will be handling your case. We draw on this experience to help you know what to expect at trial and in other interactions with the criminal justice system. We also understand the sensitive concerns that criminal charges raise for many of our clients. A criminal conviction not only impacts you personally; it can impact your family, your work, and your future. We recognize how much you have at stake. We can help dramatically reduce the consequences of the criminal charge you are facing.

WAW attorneys represent clients in both misdemeanor and felony cases, providing vigorous advocacy in negotiations and in court. Many of our clients have committed no crime, while others have made a single mistake and need our help to minimize the damage that one mistake can do to their lives. 

We provide effective criminal defense to many local college university students and residents of Shenandoah Valley, working for acquittals, dismissals or minimized consequences on charges such as drug possession, traffic violations, theft, trespassing and disorderly conduct.
