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.

Easy, Fast, Efficient
I had a bad record for speeding and landed a 20 over speed charge, which would've wrecked my driving record and knocked 6 points off my license. Fitz was patient, and gave me the tools to grant me the best advantage in court, and in the end he managed to get my speeding charge dropped ENTIRELY. 10/10...

Speeding ticket
Fitz and his team was a pleasure to work with. Fitz instructed me immediately of what I should do to prepare for my case. He provided excellent guidance and advice. He followed through with the case and the reckless driving charge was dismissed! I would recommend Fitz in a heartbeat.
