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 work done
Mr Fitzgerald was able to get my reckless driving case reduced to an improper, so that there was no criminal charge! I am very thankful for the work he has done for me and I recommend whoever has a traffic citation to get in contact, they are a tremendous help!

Highly recommend
I had a bad reckless driving charge in an area where they’re very strict about it. Mr. Fitzgerald got it reduced from a misdemeanor charge with high chance of jail or license suspension to just a speeding ticket with a $250 fine. I am very thankful and glad that I chose him to represent me.
