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.

Reckless Driving
Fitz, Dawn and the entire team kept me informed, gave clear instructions and made this process bearable. He was able to get my 95/65 reckless driving dropped to improper driving with a fine. I highly recommend Fitz and the entire firm.

Clear and Quick Instructions
Fitz was very clear about what I needed to do in order to get my reckless driving reduced. I did it all and the outcome was exactly what I wanted.

Would recommend and would hire again!
I hired Ryan for 2 different cases, 81/55 reckless driving, and failure to obey a stop sign. The reckless case was dismissed and the stop sign ticket was reduced to a local offense with no impact on my record and a small fee. Overall I am very satisfied and would recommend!
