A reasonably priced, effective, excellent lawyer.

A run in with R.P.D. left me with an “obstruction of justice & reckless driving charge”. Mr. McGrath took my case for a reasonable fee, he instructed me on what steps to take for my defense & kept me abreast of the status of the case, including a bad offer made by the prosecutor. The obstruction ca...se was dismissed & the reckless driving reduced to “improper driving” with the option of taking driving school to clear my record. Mr. McGrath will handle your case personally, he is not a slick, high profile, high priced lawyer. He is a one man operation & a damn fine one at that. I would highly recommend Mr. McGrath’s services for DUI, Traffic defense & also individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle collisions,etc.

Excellent Attorney

Joe responds quickly and works closely with his client's to assist with their legal needs. Joe is honest, straight forward and has an excellent working relationship with area courts and Commonwealth Attorneys. I highly recommend Joe.

Top-notch DWI attorney

Joe is a terrific lawyer in his specialty. He knows the VA laws inside and out and will devise a customized plan of attack for your defense. Joe tells it to you straight—he is forthright about your chances for possible plea deals that the prosecution would accept. In my specific instance, I blew 0....13 in the field and 0.11 at the station, but my field sobriety tests were fine and the arresting officer had unknowingly obscured all of the video footage. Nevertheless, Joe was very direct about the uphill battle I was facing, and we pursued various lines of attack in the weeks before the court date, including plans if we needed to appeal. When the case was tried, Joe pushed hard on all the weaknesses of the arrest and ran laps around the more-junior prosecuting attorney. Fearful of losing the case outright, the prosecutor agreed to a wet reckless with various provisions but no interlock, which was something that was crucial for me to avoid. At my first ASAP meeting, the case manager seemed floored that I was able to get a reckless with a 0.11. For the expertise Joe provided during my nine month journey, I found his fees very reasonable. If you are up against a DWI in the Richmond area and you want to maximize your chances of the best possible outcome, you need to look no further than Joe McGrath.

Out Of State Issues

I was declared a habitual offender by Virginia in 1995. I had moved out of Virginia in 1991. Tried to resolve issue my self several times, All i had done is threw away my money. If you need a lawyer that will represent you, Joe's your man ! He took care of everything. I did not have to travel back ...to Virginia for any court hearings. Joe took care of it. I highly recommend Joe McGrath for any of your driving related issues.
