Criminal Defense

At The Laurel Brigade Law Group, we defend our clients with meticulous preparation, detailed knowledge of the law, and experienced litigation. We provide representation for:

  • Felony charges
  • Misdemeanor charges
  • Domestic assault charges
  • Juvenile offenses

We defend against Drug Crimes, DUI, Property Crimes, White Collar offenses, and Violations of Probation.

Our goal as your defender is to help you handle every aspect of your case from arrest through the process of arraignment, motions, trial, and post-trial. 

We represent you with our knowledge and experience with the statutes of the Virginia Code and relevant case law. If your case proceeds to trial, our criminal attorneys all have years of experience litigating these matters, both in bench trials (presented solely before a judge) and in jury trials. 

Our experience allows us to help anyone accused obtain the best result possible. Many criminal charges can be refuted, negotiated or mitigated, even when the case against you seems strong. The burden is on the Commonwealth of Virginia to prove your guilt — it is not our job to prove your innocence. 


What to do if You’re Accused of a Crime

When you are accused of a crime, it’s important to understand what to expect during the criminal defense process and how to choose the right criminal defense lawyer for you. 

Leesburg Criminal Defense Lawyer

If you are accused of a crime, you should contact a lawyer immediately. Your lawyer will first assess the situation and determine whether there is any merit to the accusation. It is essential to have legal representation to protect your rights and ensure that you receive a fair trial. A strong criminal defense can be crucial to your proven innocence. 

What to Expect During the Criminal Defense Process

Although the criminal defense process can be complex, a basic understanding of the steps can help ease your mind. After you’ve been arrested and charged, you’ll have an opportunity to plead guilty or not guilty at your arraignment. If you plead not guilty, your case will go to trial, where a jury will hear evidence from both sides and decide whether or not to convict you. In some cases, your attorney may be able to negotiate a plea deal with prosecutors, which would avoid the need for a trial altogether. No matter what stage your case is at, it’s important to have an experienced criminal defense attorney by your side who can protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome.

How a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Help You

If you have been charged with a crime, it is crucial to seek legal assistance as soon as possible. A criminal defense lawyer can help you understand the charges against you and mount a strong defense. An experienced attorney will know how to challenge the prosecution’s evidence and protect your rights. They will also be able to negotiate with prosecutors on your behalf, sometimes leading to reduced charges or a dismissal of the case altogether. A criminal defense lawyer can provide invaluable assistance if you face criminal charges.

Tips for Choosing the Right Criminal Defense

Choosing the right criminal defense lawyer is essential when you are charged with a crime. The lawyer you choose will have a significant impact on the outcome of your case. Here are some tips to help you choose the right lawyer for your needs:

  1. Make sure the lawyer you choose has experience handling similar cases. You want a lawyer who knows the ins and outs of the criminal justice system and has a track record of success.
  2. Make sure you can communicate openly with your lawyer. You need to feel comfortable communicating your concerns and needs so that your lawyer can best represent you.

Choosing the right criminal defense lawyer is important, but following these tips should help make the process easier.
