DUI and DWI 40%

I defend DUI / DWI cases across central and Northern Virginia. Over a decade of experience as a prosecutor gives me deep insight into the government's case against you, so I can help spot weakness and negotiation points to help obtain a great result.

Criminal Defense 30%

If you have another criminal charge such as eluding the police, hit and run, DWI maiming, or a VASAP violation, I can help as well. I defend clients against many misdemeanors and felonies in the General District Courts and Circuit Courts.

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 30%

I handle a variety of traffic tickets as well, with most of them being reckless driving for speed or accidents. Don't let a reckless driving charge ruin your record and take away your driver's license. Call today.

10/10 would recommend!

Ryan was very professional and able to explain the case as well as a slight background. Prior to being called by the judge Ryan had discussed the case and come to an agreement with the reporting officer. Prior to the trial Ryan had helpful advice to complete community service, obtain character letter...s, and attend a driving course which ultimately made the hearing painless and quick! 10/10 would recommend for all traffic court needs!

Charged with Reckless Driving!

Amazing attorney, awesome guy! Had the best outcome for my case that i could pray for! I had a reckless driving charge of 90/65. Mr. Ryan is highly knowledgeable with the court staff as well as officers. Got my charge dropped down to improper driving! Made the whole process swift and easy. His parale...gal staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel. Thank you again Mr. Ryan!

DWI - Exceeded my expectations

I was fairly certain I was going to get the book thrown at me with my case but Ryan had my charge dropped to a lesser charge with minimal fines and restrictions before my case start time. I happily accepted the deal and was out of there within an hour (: It helped he was well known in the courthou...se as a former prosecutor. His expertise in both sides of the law put me at ease and he handled everything from start to finished with ease and with little needed from my end. 10/10 recommend (:

Great service from a respected lawyer!

After receiving a speeding ticket that was +20 mph over the normal speed limit (very close to a reckless driving offense), I was struggling to figure out what to do next. Although I was offered to pay the ticket and bypass the court hearing, I knew that this would affect me in the long run, so I sear...ched for a lawyer ASAP. While looking for a lawyer for my case, I stumbled upon Ryan Thomas Fitzgerald. From the consultation, I knew that he was very knowledgeable in his field and provided me with many options and considerations to help me with my case. I agreed to hire him and the whole process was seamless! His staff were great too from sending me emails with reminders to mailing a handwritten letter. In the end, Mr. Fitzgerald was able to dismiss my charge and all I had to pay were the court costs. I can't thank him enough for everything! I highly recommend Ryan Fitzgerald and his team!

Awesome Lawyer, Awesome Person

Mr. Fitzgerald is a great person and a great lawyer. I hit the low 90's in a 60mph area and got pulled over for the first time. Mr. Fitzgerald asked about my case's facts, whether I was respectful to the officer, etc. He was knowledgeable about the courts and the judges that presided over the courts ...and properly set my expectations. He set out things that I needed to get done and answered all my questions about the arraignment, what he would do for my case, what I needed to do on the date of my case, etc. After talking with the prosecutor, he got my reckless driving by speeding reduced from a class 1 misdemeanor to a speeding ticket. I could not be more thankful for that. Even the judge warned me that usually 90+ carries jail time and it used to be an automatic arrest. He even stayed with me and talked, from just one person to the other and from a lawyer to a client, while I was paying for my court fees. When I got the receipt he even made sure that the clerk stamped it and made it an official court document (excuse my overall lack of knowledge of legal terms). Overall, I had peace of mind throughout the whole process because I knew I hired the best lawyer for my case and that I did everything he asked me to.
