DWI/Serious Accident/Civil Suit

I was arrested in Arlington, Va. and Charlie came highly recommended by several other inmates. I was involved in a very serious accident and charged with DWI and then the victim demanded a large sum of money from me in a civil suit. While the evidence was so bad that the prosecutor and 6 witnesses d...emanded a minimum of 6 months, Charlie worked it out where I only had to do 6 days and he even convinced the judge to let me do it on 2 weekends so I wouldn't miss work. As for the civil suit, Charlie negotiated with a very large and "high powered" DC legal firm that was going to sue for several million dollars. By the time he was done the settlement for me to payout was less than 8k!!! Unbelievable. I recommend Charlie to anyone who needs an attorney. He always answered his cell phone, emails or texts...at all hours of the day and even Sat and Sunday. I have never met any attorney that makes himself that available to any client. He really cares. If you are in trouble, injured or being sued call Charlie.

A very good attorney

I saw the first review on AVVO and contacted Mr. FitzGerald. He was the only attorney who answers his own phone and you dont have to be handed off to a secretary or para legal who tells you he will call you back. All the other lawyers I called took 3 or 4 days to call back. My case was a DWI and boy ...was I guilty. Mr. FitzGerald because of his prior police experience reviewed the scene of the accident and found some issues with the police officers case. This allowed him to negotiate a no jail time, very low fine result. I recommend this lawyer for any case, misdemeanor, felony and immigration (he got my deportation case dismissed as well.)

Best attorney I have ever had

I was arrested for several drug violations. I heard Mr. FitzGerald arguing a case in Arlington, which he won and I asked him if he could take my case. He was glad to do so and at a rate that was fair but professional. He went out to the scene where the police arrested me and did his own investigation.... I found out later he is a retired police detective. When we came to court because of the evidence he had gathered on his own about some of the witnesses the case was dropped. I highly recommend this lawyer to anyone in trouble.
