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... the process as well as counseling my wife on her legal options. We are happy to write Ms. Greenway was able to mitigate any legal issues my wife had and get her satisfactory results. I would highly recommend her for any criminal defense issues!

client

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. Virginia was very pro-active and stayed on top of my case which consequently resulted in a positive outcome (no conviction). She remained profess...ional during the entire process and gave realistic answers to ALL of my questions. I was never under any illusion of what the out come might be. I was however confident of what the outcome was going to be after meeting and speaking with her! I highly recommend her for ANY legal matter that is within her expertise!

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... best and worst case scenarios. She remained positive and compassionate and due to her tireless efforts, our months of hell came to an end. I was referred to her by another attorney friend and I am thankful every day that we choose to use her. We can now go back to repairing the damage done to our family due to false claims and spend our time raising our children.

Finaly an attorney who truly cares

Virginia is an outstanding attorney who truly cares for her clients well being. She is a professional who understands that people make mistakes and runs off of the hope and belief that the client can and will succeed in life if given the opportunity. She speaks to her clients with intellect, confiden...ce, compassion and assurance that she will do everything within her power and the law to obtain the best possible outcome. Virginia was court appointed as my public defender for a felony charge that I foolishly picked up at the age of 17, however, she did not represent me on the case till I was 24 . By that time I had gone through numerous public defenders who wanted nothing but to focus on their higher paid clients. She was the glimmer of hope that our justice system needs in order to become healthy, strong, and reliable. I am now 32 years old with two beautiful children and a wife that I adore. I also have a wonderful military career with two combat tours to Iraq that I can be proud of for the rest of my life. I am no longer viewed as a felon but as a successful father, husband and war veteran. Thank you Virginia for believing in me. By the way to the habitual felon who left the snide comment, it is spelled there not their, I'm sure that if you spent more time educating yourself vs committing crime you would know that.

Incredible Legal Advocate

Virginia is an incredible advocate, she got me a great deal and kept me calm and informed throughout the whole process. I came across her by chance and am incredibly lucky to have done so. She always took the time to explain my case to my and allay any fears I had about the outcome. I am incredib...ly grateful to Virginia and I would recommend her very highly to anyone currently experiencing legal troubles. She treats you like a person and clearly values her clients. Thank you again Virginia you were AWESOME!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 05

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
