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.

Virginia Winfield Greenway's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Virginia

Cristi Trusler

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."
