I have been practicing criminal defense exclusively since 2003. I love to help people who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. I take pride in my results and in the progress I have seen so many clients make following their difficulties. My approach is holistic--I care not only about getting the best outcome possible for each and every client, but also about my clients as human beings. I have said many times, I do not want repeat business. I want my clients to go on and prosper after their case is concluded. Thankfully, most clients do just that. And they send their friends, family, and colleagues to me when they too find themselves in trouble. For this reason I can proudly say that my business has thrived purely by word of mouth for over a decade. I am grateful to be in a position to help individuals accused of crimes and plan to continue to do so for as long as I am able. In the words of John Wesley, "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can." I live by this and I endeavor to embody this ethos in my work.

Excellent, caring
During spring of last year, I was pulled over for the first time ever by a very zealous DPS officer who claimed I didn't use a blinker as I pulled up to my apartment. He arrested me at my own home, charged me with DWI, and I suppose just for the fun of it, had my car towed out of my own parking space...

Criminal Defense Review
My wife had several tickets/collisions in the Austin area in which we needed legal counsel. Ms. Greenway agreed to represent us and then COVID pandemic hit. Throughout all the delays, Ms. Greenway was extremely professional, responsive, and understanding of our concerns. She kept us up-to-date on...

I hired Ms. Greenway for a legal matter involving a DUI charge. She came highly recommended and after meeting her I knew my case would be handled properly.

Professional and compassionate
I feel like I can never fully thank Virginia for helping my family. My husband was facing some terrible charges and though we knew he was not guilty, it was a delicate case that had to run its course through the system. Virginia always spoke of hope without sugar-coating things. She always told us...
"I endorse Virginia wholeheartedly. As a family lawyer, from time to time, I need to refer a client to competent criminal defense counsel. Often this takes shape in the form of a DUI or DWI, sometimes domestic violence allegations and sometimes issues dealing with alleged child abuse or protective orders. While these areas touch family law, they are not within my specialty. It is invaluable to have respected, compassionate, skilled and wise criminal counsel on hand for clients who find themselves in crisis. Virgina is all of these things and more and I am thankful to have her as a colleague and friend. My clients who have needed her counsel have been grateful. It is without hesitation that I recommend Virginia."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Greenway is one of the top criminal defense attorneys in Austin, Texas. I know because I've had the opportunity to observe her tackle some of the toughest cases in the courthouse and deliver amazing results for her clients. Able to persuade prosecutors with tact when necessary, Ms.Greenway is also regarded as one of the top criminal litigators in our community. She is a star in this field and a personal mentor in my practice."
