DUI and DWI 10%

Working side by side with one of the founders of the National College for DUI Defense (ncdd.com), Burk Beale, I have been better equipped than most to vigorously fight for the rights of my clients. Don't call me if you want to plead guilty. Call me if you want to win. We will review the details of your case and determine the best strategy to best resolve the charge.

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 10%

Most people want to simply prepay their traffic ticket and be on their merry way. This may not always be possible in Virginia with charges such as Reckless Driving and Driving on a Suspended License. These charges while similar to traffic citations, are technically criminal allegations that can result in jail time, a steep fine, and a driver's license suspension. Call me today to see what we can do to keep these consequences from happening.

Shannon Taylor saved my life in Federal Court

After searching Richmond and hearing all negative responses from criminal defense attorneys regarding my case, I found SHANNON TAYLOR who was positive from the get go, not to mention MUCH MUCH CHEAPER. From day 1, I felt comfortable with her as my defense and she never let me down. Indicted on 3 felo...nies in Federal Court at first, then reindicted on 6 felonies, she never waivered when I insitsted on going to trial. After 3 days at trial, the jury came back with a not guilty verdict on all 6 felonies. It is because of her, faith in God, and a never give up attitude that I am not a felon or sitting in prison right now. Thanks so much Shannon.
