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.

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!!

Ryan was awesome!
Ryan was able to handle my case for me in the court room which made things a lot easier for me! Our interactions were through email, but chats over the phone were available at anytime if I had questions. Definitely hire Ryan if you run into any sort of traffic trouble!

New Teacher
Fitz did a great job handling my case. He was professional and answered all my questions in a timely manner, ultimately getting my base dismissed. I could not have had a better outcome.

10/10 would recommend!
Ryan was very professional and able to explain the case as well as a slight background. Prior to being called by the judge Ryan had discussed the case and come to an agreement with the reporting officer. Prior to the trial Ryan had helpful advice to complete community service, obtain character letter...
