Vaughn Jones, best lawyer in VA

I have hired Mr. Jones to represent me on various occasions. He has done a marvelous job on every occasion. I consider him to be a top lawyer in Virginia, and the best lawyer in Richmond. I strongly recommend using Vaughn Jones to represent anyone with legal trouble.

Incredibly Amazing Attorney!

Mr. Jones is such an incredibly amazing criminal defense attorney. I was accused of crimes that I didn't commit and was exonerated. I felt like I was in good and caring hands all the way from the beginning to the preliminary trial day. Mr. Jones was available 24/7 to answer any questions or concerns ...that I had. His legal secretary Spring is wonderful, very personable, caring, always kept me in the loop, informed me of any changes, and helped to set my mind at ease through this process. Mr. Jones walked into that courtroom with me confident and ready to fight tooth & nail to defend me and my freedom. Mr. Jones had advised and assured me that my case would resolve itself even before the trial date came and it did as he predicted! I had beyond amazing results! My innocence was proven. All 4 felony charges were dropped that carried 5 to 25 years each. I would highly recommend him to anyone! He is my attorney for life as I would never use anyone else for any legal needs and I would highly recommend him to anyone with a legal defense need without hesitation! He will always be my guardian angel!

By far the absolute best !

Mr. Jones was extremely knowledgable as well as proactive with my case . He was able to settle my case outside of court ,which was a big relief . This whole experience was a big scare for me however Mr.Jones made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the whole case . I highly recommend him... to anyone ! Although I hope I will never have to need him again , but if I ever did need an attorney I would not hesitate on calling him !

Exceptional attorney!

I never thought I would have to hire a criminal attorney for any of my family members, but life seems to give you a curve ball or two sometimes. Vaughan Jones has successfully represented my family for the last 3yrs, from the very small infraction of the law to possible life altering felony accusati...ons. He is a persistent fighter, intelligent attorney who cares about the person and family he represents. I wouldn't trust any other attorney to represent my family.

Underage Possession of Alcohol 2nd Offense Dismissed

Vaughn C. Jones is not the type of lawyer to sit by placidly while a prosecutor dishes you a sentence. After I was arrested for underage possession of alcohol in Fredericksburg, VA i contacted Vaughn C. Jones, Attorney at Law. The prosecution had a pretty good case against me because I had a strong a...ppearance of alcohol and I admitted to drinking even though I was not in the possession of any alcohol. During my hearing, the prosecution failed to have the presiding officer acknowledge that I was under 21 on the night of the incident. In retort, Vaughn Jones wasted no time in pointing this out and my case was dismissed on this technicality. Even if this lucky incident had not occurred, however, Mr. Jones was well prepared to defend my plea of not guilty and I felt confident to have him as my attorney. As a result of Vaughn Jones I am currently free of any convictions and I will be certain to contact him again in the case of any future mishaps.
