DUI and DWI 40%

I defend DUI / DWI cases across central and Northern Virginia. Over a decade of experience as a prosecutor gives me deep insight into the government's case against you, so I can help spot weakness and negotiation points to help obtain a great result.

If you have another criminal charge such as eluding the police, hit and run, DWI maiming, or a VASAP violation, I can help as well. I defend clients against many misdemeanors and felonies in the General District Courts and Circuit Courts.

I handle a variety of traffic tickets as well, with most of them being reckless driving for speed or accidents. Don't let a reckless driving charge ruin your record and take away your driver's license. Call today.

Fitz got my case dismissed

I could not be more satisfied with Fitz legal service. He knew what I needed to do for my case. I followed his advice and completed what I needed to do. Fitz got my case dismissed. His prior experience as a prosecutor is a plus. I even did not need to go to the court. Fitz took care of everything. Da...wn, the office manager was easy to work with. She responded to my questions promptly. Overall, my first time experience of working with a lawyer was a breeze. Fitz is great.

They have processes to help you every step of the way. Ryan Fitzgerald was very knowledgeable and considerate. Their communication ...and commitment helped me understand every step. He made the entire process clear, kept me informed and achieved a great result. They were very easy to work with.

One of the best lawyers in Virginia

Quick and responsive team. Transparent throughout and did his very best. Had a reckless driving ticket, and got it dropped to defective equipment. He's my go-to from now on.

Highly recommended

We had an excellent experience working with Ryan Fitzgerald on a reckless driving case. We were driving through Virginia on our way to Florida, and the situation quickly turned into a nightmare — our windshield was cracked after being hit by a rock, and our navigation system kept rerouting us due to ...road closures. We were lost, frustrated, and stressed, and in that moment we didn’t realize our speed had increased. We were stopped by a patrol officer and received two tickets. Ryan guided us through everything with patience and professionalism. From our first conversation, he made us feel supported and informed. He explained each step clearly and made sure we understood all of our options. He also recommended important steps to prepare for the hearing, which made a significant difference. His team was incredibly responsive — anytime we had a question, they replied quickly and clearly. We truly appreciate their dedication and support. If you need help with a reckless driving situation or any other traffic-related issue during your travels through Virginia, don’t hesitate — call Ryan. Highly recommended!

Fitz' s outstanding service

Fitz is an outstanding lawyer. I got into some trouble and reached out to Flusche and Fitzgerald. When Fitz promptly got back to me, I looked up his credentials, and I was highly impressed with what I read. He has experience as a prosecutor, so he has worked for the other side, which, in my opinion, ...is extremely valuable. After speaking to him, I knew I made the right choice. He was upfront and told me that, based on the facts, he could reduce my charge and sent me some courses to complete, which I did. The case outcome was exactly what he described, which speaks to his experience and talent. Andrew and Fitz have also helped out a few of my friends with excellent results. The one friend who didn't call them and went with someone else got convicted. Moral of the story is go with Fitz! I will recommend Fitz to everyone I know. Thank you so much!
