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.

Beyond Excellent Legal Assistance!
Ryan was great. As a former Prosecutor, he knew it all. He helped me get my Reckless Driving Reduced (up to 12 months in Jail, Misdemeanor, Potential License revocation) reduced to improper driving ($250 fine). He really gave his time and attention when addressing my case. I fully trusted that he...

Couldn't be happier
I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Not only was Fitz very professional and easy to work with, He got the judge to dismiss my case quickly and efficiently. If I ever need a traffic lawyer in the Stafford area I'll be contacting him again!

You won't regret hiring Ryan!

Easy and Painless
This was my first time going to court and I couldn't have chosen a better lawyer. They kept me apprised of every action they took and made their instructions of what I should do very clear and concise. While I certainly hope that neither I or anyone I know will need a lawyer to defend them; if we ...
