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
I was charged with reckless driving and after outstanding representation by Mr. Fitzgerald, my charge was reduced to improper driving. Fitz represented me wonderfully! His recommendations and guidance throughout the entire process were indispensable. Very highly recommended!!

Thanks for saving the day!
I’ve had a little bit of a speeding issue over the years. After my last ticket, was a little worried about the DMV getting involved due to points accumulation. Ryan developed a specific plan for me prior to my court date, I followed it and he got my case down to a non-moving violation! Thanks Ryan!!

Excellent lawyer
I discovered Fitz through a family member who’s previously worked with him and I am more than thankful and impressed by the results of my case.

almost painless!
I found myself pulled over with a excessively speeding ticket for "reckless driving". "Fitz" represented me for a reasonable price, gave great advice, got the ticket reduced to simple speeding, and I didn't have to go to court. I'll slow down, but importantly avoided the points and insurance premiu...

Excellent and Caring Lawyer!
Fitz was incredible to work with! He took the time to explain court processes and legal options, while also supporting family members through a challenging time. He achieved a positive outcome after a lengthy case that spanned 7 months, start to finish. Our family is so thankful and appreciative!
