About Anna
Biography
Anna Chludzinski has spent the entirety of her legal career as a trial attorney, and continues this work as the founder of Chludzinski Law, PLLC. Anna has extensive experience in all areas of criminal litigation and is passionate about using that experience to defend her clients every time she walks into the court room. She regularly appears in courthouses across Northern Virginia, including, but not limited to, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, Stafford, and Loudoun.
Anna graduated law school a semester early, obtaining her Juris Doctorate in 2010. After passing the bar, Anna worked at a private firm as a research and writing attorney in Norfolk, VA. In the early summer of 2011, Anna left to join the Public Defender’s Office for the City of Newport News, where she spent two and a half years protecting the rights of indigent individuals. During this time she handled over 1,000 criminal cases, including traffic charges, DUIs, drug charges, larceny charges, fraud charges, malicious wounding charges, and a number of murder cases.
Her motions practice has resulted in the dismissal of many cases before trial, and she excels in crafting unique legal arguments to fit her client’s needs. In August 2013, Anna argued and won the complete suppression of her client’s statements in a first-degree murder case after officers had violated his Miranda rights. Anna truly believes in the protection of constitutional rights and uses this passion in her representation of clients.
In early 2014, Anna moved to Northern Virginia and joined a prestigious criminal defense firm in Alexandria, VA. She spent three years there handling all forms of traffic infractions, criminal misdemeanors, and felonies. As the office’s most experienced associate, she also handled her firm’s most serious cases, including charges of cross country drug distribution, multi-million dollar embezzlements, malicious wounding, murder, rape, carnal knowledge, indecent liberties with a minor, and possession of child pornography.

Anna C Chludzinski's Lawyer Endorsements
"Anna Chludzinski is an experienced and dedicated criminal defense attorney. She isn't afraid to take the government to task, critically examining the evidence, contemplating creative solutions, and ultimately dedicated to getting the best result possible. Clients are in good hands when they hire Anna."
"Mrs. Chludzinski is an excellent advocate for her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her to a client in need. She is also an asset to the Avvo Community, providing invaluable resources to those seeking help."
"Anna is one of the most meticulous and brilliant lawyers I know. She fights harder and is smarter than almost every other lawyer I work around. An example is how she tirelessly worked for a juvenile defendant charged with murder early in her career when her supervisors laughed at the idea she would win challenges to the violation of his constitutional rights. She prevailed against many odds and his case was dismissed. Her written work product is superior to most other attorneys, and I refer her all immigration work and enjoy working together with her on criminal defense matters. She shines and will tell it to you straight."
"Used to work with Ms. Chludzinski. She taught me everything I know :)"
"Anna Chludzinski is a passionate attorney who puts time and energy into every case. I worked with Anna on many cases when we worked for the same firm, and she brings a great deal of creativity to every case."
"Anna is an intelligent and hard-working attorney in our community. She cares about her clients and works to achieve the best possible outcome for their cases. I have collaborated with her on several occasions and find her to be knowledgable and hard working. I would not hesitate to recommend her."
"Anna is an excellent criminal defense attorney. I have worked with and observed her on multiple cases, representing clients on a wide variety of charges. She is a great communicator who knows the law. I would recommend her to anyone facing a criminal charge in Virginia."
"I have observed Anna practice as an attorney for several years now, and would not hesitate to refer her clients who need a strong, diligent, and well versed attorney to defend against or resolve a criminal charge. She works hard and knows how the system works, but most of all she cares very much about her clients."
