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.

Excellent service
Ryan was so great! Not only did he get my ticket reduced from reckless to speeding 1 but he was extremely attentive. He kept in touch every step of the way until my court date and answered any questions that I had. I was so nervous, but Ryan took great care of me. Thank you so much!

Great resolution for me
Mr. Fitzgerald is excellent, I highly recommend his services. His legal team was also very helpful, made sure I was always update about my case. Their help gave me great relief from terrible anxiety. I was even happier when I was dismissed on all charges.
