About Ryan
Biography
Ryan "Fitz" Fitzgerald is a partner at Flusche & Fitzgerald with more than 15 years of experience on both sides of the Virginia courtroom. He spent 12 years as an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney in Stafford and Fairfax counties, prosecuting cases ranging from first-degree murder to routine traffic offenses and training police officers in trial preparation. His work on a decades-old cold-case homicide drew national attention on Dateline NBC.
As Stafford County's specialty prosecutor for its Traffic Safety Unit, Fitz built deep experience in DWI cases involving blood draws, toxicology, and expert testimony, later leading a prosecution team focused on that forensic docket. He now brings that insider perspective to the defense side, handling misdemeanor DWI through DWI maiming and manslaughter charges, and identifying the legal issues that can strengthen a client's position or lead to acquittal.
Fitz holds a J.D. from George Mason University School of Law and belongs to the Fredericksburg Area Bar Association.

Great Attorneys and easy to work with.
Mr. Fitzgerald is very professional, knowledgeable, kept me informed and handled everything in court. I didn’t have to show up which was huge since I live out of state. He got the case dismissed! I highly recommend this law firm!

I highly recommend Ryan Fitzgerald
I strongly recommend Fitz. Through his experience in multiple sides of the courtroom and his expansive legal relationships, he is extremely effective. Because of that, he was instrumental in getting me into an alternative program and my case ultimately dismissed.
