About John
Biography
I have been practicing Criminal Defense since 2004. My firm and I are dedicated to the defense of anyone who has been charged with a crime, be it a relatively minor traffic offense to serious felonies. It is my deep pleasure to help people and to protect thier rights in and out of the courtroom. Though I have been in many courtrooms in central and northern Virginia, primarily I practice in Spotsylvania County, Stafford County, King George County, and the City of Fredericksburg.
When not in the courtroom, my intersts include, spending time with my family, reading, rooting for my favorite sports teams, and playing with our two dogs.
John D. Mayoras is an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney. Call now for a free consult.
