About Bradley
Biography
Brad Thompson helps clients who have been charged with serious traffic or criminal offenses in the Roanoke Valley, including speeding, reckless driving, DUI/DWI, alcohol offenses, drug offenses, and other matters. He has experience appearing in Virginia’s General District Courts, Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts, and Circuit Courts.
Brad is a former prosecutor with the Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney in Salem, Virginia. When you contact his office, he has one thought in mind: how he can use his experience as a prosecutor to help you obtain the best possible outcome in your case.
As a prosecutor, Brad investigated traffic, misdemeanor, and felony offenses. He regularly worked with law enforcement to prepare charging decisions. He also negotiated plea agreements. He understands that the government has awesome resources at its disposal; Brad believes that every client should have someone on their side ready to protect their rights in the courtroom.
During law school, Brad worked with the law firm of Weber and Pearson, P.C., where he prepared briefs before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and assisted with federal narcotics investigations. He is a graduate of the Advanced DUI Training for Prosecutors and Law Enforcement in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the Trial Advocacy College.
Brad is an active member of his church and resides with his wife, Rachel Thompson, an immigration lawyer, in Salem, Virginia.

Unexpected !!
Had used Brad in 2022 for my DUI so I was definitely using him again. This incident was two traffic tickets and a criminal offense for driving without the breathalyzer in the car.

If given the opportunity I would hire a different lawyer. His communication skills are atrocious. He expects his clients to know the law, and give him all information without being asked. He purposely delays sending necessary documents to the court, and when asked about it there is no answer. Do not ...
