Hi there!
My name is Steven - I love defending my clients on DUI & traffic related charges. I stick to the area of law I know, grow in my expertise, and live to serve as many people as possible. I am licensed to practice law in Virginia, North Carolina, and the Eastern District of Virginia Federal Courts.
I graduated from the Regent University School of Law - that place blessed me beyond measure. I was awarded the Corporate, Commercial & Transactional Law Award and the Virginia Trial Lawyers Foundation Trial Advocacy Award. While at Regent Law, I was honored to have served as the President of the Business Law Society and Chairman of the Trial Advocacy Board, where I led Regent Law to a National Trial Advocacy Championship.
I focus on DWI, reckless driving, and all other traffic-related cases (felony, misdemeanor, and infraction) in both state and federal court. I'm a member of the National College for DUI Defense and have been trained in both the NHTSA Standard Field Sobriety Test guidelines, and received ARIDE (Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement) training – the very same training officers receive at the police academy. I never want to stop learning for the betterment of myself and my clients.
In my personal time, I love spending time w/ my wife, daughter, and puppy dog (Hank), enjoying local coffee shops, training for & running marathons, eating ice cream, going to church, watching sports, and listening to vinyl records with my bride.

Amazing diligent lawyer
I was in a real pickle, and didn't know what to do. I spoke with a hand full of lawyers and felt like Mr. Thomas was a good fit. He kept me updated during the process, and to my surprise on the day of trial he was able to get my case dismissed. I highly recommend Mr. Thomas, he is an amazing lawyer. ...
Hiram - thank you so much for your trust in me + my team, I am glad things worked out so well on your case!

1st DUI? Don’t do it alone, hire Mr. Thomas
Mr. Thomas is an excellent lawyer and I absolutely recommend hiring him, especially if you have a DUI case. This was my first (and last!) DUI and it was honestly such a low point for me and I felt the worst was going to happen to me. After retaining Mr. Thomas, these worries quickly went away. He mad...
