Charles Joseph Fitzgerald

I was locked up in Maryland on a DWI and was told by two different inmates that the best attorney they ever hired was Charlie. Of course I had my doubts. I was facing a number of felonies and misdemeanors in the DMV area and also had deportation hold. My girlfriend went online to find his website ...but found he does not have one. Turns out all his clients come to him by word of mouth and referral. I had hired a couple different lawyers before because I was impressed with fancy interactive web sites but they proved to be losers. I think I ended up paying them to maintain those fancy websites and they all helped put me in jail. My girl called Charlie on a Saturday at about 9pm expecting to leave a voice message. What a shock when he answered. He explained his experience in federal, state and local courts and turns out he is a retired 21 year police officer. He has incredible experience on both sides of the law. He got me out on bond, even with the detainer from ICE and then convinced the Immigration Judge to release me on my signature. Unbelievable. I used Charlie in 3 different jurisdictions and the cases were either dismissed or broken down with no jail and court costs only. He is also handling my immigration work. Asylum for me and family green cards for my relatives. Charlie is a one stop shop. Criminal, civil and immigration. Don't hire an attorney because he happens to have a fancy web site. I would say the fancier the web site the more you are paying for a car salesman. You need someone like Charlie who is an actual fighter and knows the system. Hell he was the system for 21 years. He has no website because he gets tons of clients by referral. His only advertising is his name and cell phone and believe me he will answer. If you are in trouble call Charlie. He is licensed in Maryland and Virginia. He is also licensed in California but he said that is only for the people who own wineries. Too funny. He is the best!!!

Mr FitzGerald came recommended to me from a friend. Like the other reviews I was amazed that he answers the phone most everyday and time. His knowledge of the law and relationship with the prosecutors is better than any other lawyer I have had to hire. My case was a DWI 2, ASAP violation, 2 count...s of Driving on Suspended, and 2 Probation violations. This occurred in Montgomery County. I had replaced another attorney who I had first hired who said he got me a "deal" to serve 60 days. Mr FitzGerald somehow was able to get all but the DWI dropped and I did 5 days. He is now handling my immigration case. He is reliable, responds immediately, reasonably priced and knows his stuff. I recommend him if you have any legal problem.

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.

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.)
