Christopher Thomas Voltin

My daughter was away at college in the Newport News area when she was charged with underage possession of alcohol. After some research I stumbled upon Mr. Voltin and I could not have made a better choice for an attorney. He was very professional from start to finish. He took his time to explain the ...charges to my daughter and me along with the consequences if she to be found guilty. Long story short, he was able to get the commonwealth to drop the charges. No fines or community service. I hope we do not need legal help again but if we do, Chris Voltin would be the first person we call.

I had a possession of marijuana charge in Newport News. With minimal effort from me, Chris got the entire charge dismissed. He was very friendly and helpful along with knowing his stuff and being able to give me great advice. Defiantly the best lawyer I've ever had and kept me free and out of a lot o...f trouble, fines, and my record clean.

Christopher Voltin represented me during 2013, 14 and 15, with both pre-charge and trial defense services. My initial issue was a complaint of assault; the grand jury handed down indictments for Misd. Sexual Battery and Felony Abduction. If convicted I faced 20 years to life in prison and a $100,00...0 fine. Mr Voltin’s immediate response was to place a wall between me and all investigating agencies involved, thereby preventing me from getting caught up in an interview and inadvertently hurting my case. This was a very effective tactic and alleviated the need for any contact with authorities. He then laid out a strategy for discrediting the plaintiff, using documented facts and misleading and false statements she made to investigators. A key piece of this approach was the use of a private investigator; his P.I. was able to interview the plaintiff (and her adult children) for almost an hour, all recorded, during which they contradicted several previous statements and the general nature of their complaint. It was a brilliant move on Mr Voltin’s part and his investigator demonstrated a keen ability for gleaning facts from uncooperative party. Had my case gone to trial, this audio recording was, while not a silver bullet, very damaging to the prosecution’s case. At the end of the day Mr Voltin procured a misdemeanor plea deal with no jail time served. And yet he completely respected my decision to decline it. He and the staff of Weisberg & Weisberg never wavered in the belief of my innocence. Upon declining of the plea deal the prosecution dropped the charges. I believe that decision was taken, in part, due to the talents and track record of the lawyers at W&W, Chris Voltin included. He has my utmost respect and I recommend him to anyone facing similar circumstances.

Mr. Voltin displayed consummate professionalism while handling my legal matter, even when he had to tell me things that I did not want to hear. His knowledge and expertise gave me confidence that my case would end favorably, and that is exactly what happened; my charge was striked due in large part t...o Mr. Voltin's perfectly timed objection and savvy cross-examination that clearly showed that I was not a fault. I did not even have to take the stand. I would recommend Mr. Voltin's services to anyone who is dealing with domestic matters in the Newport News area. Thanks, Mr. Voltin!
