If you have been arrested for a crime in Northern Virginia, whether you are guilty or innocent, you will need a good criminal defense lawyer to help navigate your case through the legal system and to advise you of your rights.

Why should you hire a local attorney?

An experienced Northern Virginia criminal defense attorney will know the local rules of the local court. If you hire an attorney from out of state, he or she may not be aware of the "unwritten rules" of the court. For example, there are only a couple of people in each jurisdiction that can even make and approve plea bargains. If your criminal defense attorney knows the right people to talk with, he may able to save you time, money, and sometimes jail time.

If you are found guilty of a crime, a VA defense attorney may be able to find a sentencing program that applies to your crime. If the court approves an alternative method to jail, you may end up with no jail time or less jail time if you hire the right attorney. For instance, if you were sentenced to jail for one year due to a drug-related crime, a Northern Virginia criminal defense lawyer may be able to get you into a drug treatment facility with less jail time.
