Criminal Defense
Few things are more life changing than being charged with a crime. Regardless of what crime you were charged with, the United States Constitution guarantees you certain rights under the law. You have the right to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination, and you have the right to be passionately represented by a competent defense attorney. Unbelievably, some people sign away these rights the moment they sign their retainer agreement with an unskilled, inexperienced, or lazy lawyer.

Opposing lawyers sometimes attempt to “rattle the sabers” or “pound the podium” to intimidate their opposition, At the NoVa Law Firm, we are not so easily intimidated. We focus on facts and ignore the other “noise.” We will zealously pursue the most beneficial outcome for you because we believe that you deserve a secure future for yourself and your family based on a thorough evaluation of your case’s most positive aspects.
