Dedicated to Thorough Investigation and Advocacy for All Our Clients
Pivotal factors in your case stemming from the circumstances of your arrest, the specific charges against you and thus the severity of the sentence you could face may include:
- Who made the decision to call police after an altercation
- Whether you are accused of intentionally harming someone or of causing harm without intent
- Severity of the injuries inflicted and whether a weapon was involved
- Any prior criminal charges or convictions as a juvenile or adult
We have been involved in many cases that turned out to be based on false or exaggerated allegations, and we will investigate your case thoroughly based on what you tell us and all evidence we can gather. In addition, we know that in some cases, emphasis on gang violence, terrorism and "mob crimes" contributes to racial profiling and attempted "over-prosecution" of violent crimes. We are here to protect your rights, taking an open, balanced view of allegations that you were acting as a member of MS-13, 18th Street or any Hispanic, East Asian, or other gang.
We are trial lawyers and negotiators with over 40 years in the Virginia legal system between us. Our maturity and perspective can be invaluable whether you have been unjustly accused or need our determined efforts to avoid the harshest consequences.
