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.

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.

Liam’s court case
Fitz did an amazing job explaining what options were available for me, and also proved very knowledgeable of the Law and explained to the court why my license was suspended until February 8th because of a paperwork issue. He really went above and beyond for me and I thank him for that.
