Above and beyond
Roger is a great lawyer. He does what he says he's going to do and then some. Roger continued to help me navigate the legal requirements of my case after my case was complete. He really fights for his clients and actually cares about their future. He keeps in contact with his client's support sys...

Just WOW!
I’ve never needed a lawyer before, so all I had to go on were horror stories about public defenders. Let me tell you right now, he is NOT one of those horror stories. Honestly, I don’t think I could have picked a better lawyer, even if I had paid for one on my own. He was very communicative, and actu...

A compassionate attorney who does his job well

Through all of my missteps, he advocated on my behalf and allowed me to be granted 3 chances for a 1st offender dismissal on my drug possession charge. Courteous, professional, and stra...
"Roger is a razor sharp attorney who possesses the rare quality of being both an academic and courtroom heavyweight. He is among the small group who take cases to juries and has won “not guilty” verdicts in cases that appeared unwinnable. He is also a brilliant writer who has had appeals granted by both the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of Virginia. Simply put, Roger is a bad, bad man."
"Roger is one of the most well-respected criminal defense attorneys in the Tidewater area. He’s an extremely intelligent and well-prepared advocate who will fight tooth and nail for his clients. Roger is an absolute predator— both in and out of the courtroom. I strongly endorse Roger Whitus."
"Roger is a great attorney with strong litigation skills. He cares about his clients, willing to go an extra mile to get the best results."
