Aggressive Virginia Defense Lawyer Challenges Misdemeanor And Felony Charges

Whether you’ve received a speeding ticket, have been charged with DUI, or face a severe felony allegation like burglary, it’s essential to be represented by an experienced criminal defense lawyer who will fight for your rights. At Robert Bruce Jones, Attorney at Law in Newport News, I have provided aggressive criminal defense for 25 years to Virginians facing a range of charges. You can depend on my extensive experience and deep legal knowledge to work toward the best possible outcome, whether that’s an acquittal, dismissal, or favorable plea agreement.

Accomplished Advocate Assists Clients Facing Traffic Offenses

Depending on the nature of the traffic violation alleged, you could face charges under the Virginia Motor Vehicle Code ranging from a point infraction to a felony offense. I have defended Virginians on a wide range of traffic violations, including:

  • Speeding
  • Aggressive driving
  • Reckless driving
  • DUI
  • Driving without a valid license
  • Driving without car insurance
  • Leaving the scene of an accident

If you are convicted of a traffic offense in Virginia, you may face penalties that include fines, suspension of your driving privileges, court fees, and, in certain instances, imprisonment. I have defended clients charged with both minor and severe traffic offenses for more than 25 years. I will thoroughly examine the circumstances surrounding the charge to construct a powerful defense on your behalf.

Dedicated Lawyer Defends Clients On Theft And Drug Charges

The penalties for theft crimes depend on the circumstances surrounding the allegation. In Virginia, robbery is any theft with violence or threat of violence so charges can range from purse snatchings to home invasions. If the robbery involves using a weapon, the crime is categorized as armed robbery, carrying much stricter penalties. Burglary involves forced entry inside a building with the intent to carry out illegal activities. Burglary usually accompanies theft but could also be committed in the course of arson, rape or murder. If you are charged with a theft crime, I will work on challenging the prosecution to obtain the best possible outcome under the facts.

Virginia has some of the harshest drug laws in the nation. Even tougher penalties apply for possessing, selling, or distributing Schedule 1 drugs such as heroin, cocaine, LSD, and methamphetamine. If you are charged with any drug crime in Virginia, it’s essential you are represented by an experienced criminal defense attorney who can challenge police procedure and the prosecution’s evidence.
