I'm a Criminal Defense Attorney, author, Police Academy Legal Instructor, Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Instructor, Firearms and Use of Force Instructor, and an ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist, and I have been helping good people in bad situations all across Virginia for more than 30 years.  My firm handles all types of Criminal cases and I have successfully represented clients accused of everything from misdemeanor DUI / DWI offenses to serious felony criminal offenses involving drugs, guns and violent crimes.  We also help clients with civil matters such as Expungement of arrest records, Driver License Restoration, Firearm Rights Restoration, and Civll Asset Forfeiture proceedings.. In addition to building a successful law practice, I have spent many years teaching.  I am a DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Instructor, and I have taught lawyers from coast to coast.  As a police academy Legal Instructor, I taught Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Rules of Evidence and Constitutional Law to police recruits.  As a contract attorney for U.S. Law Shield, I teach Constitutional Law and Virginia state laws relating to firearms, use of force, self-defense, etc.  I also serve on the USCCA Critical Response Team, which is a benefit for USCCA members.. I am a Founding Member of the DUI Defense Lawyers Association, and a Member of the National College for DUI Defense, national organizations dedicated to raising the quality of DUI / DWI defense by educating lawyers about the many complex issues in DUI / DWI cases.  In addition, I am one of only two lawyers in Virginia to have earnied the designation of Forensic Lawyer-Scientist as recognized by the American Chemical Society Division of Chemistry and the Law for my study of forensic chromatography, discussed in more detail below.. I devote considerable time to seeking out and completing specialized education and training, and certification programs in the fields of forensic science and DUI / DWI defense, and it has helped me provide top-notch representation to my clients.  I am trained on Police RADAR/LIDAR, Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, breath alcohol testing, blood alcohol testing, medical issues which arise in DUI / DWI cases and as an Operator of several different breath testing machines, including the Intoximeter ECIR II currently used in Virginia.. My advanced education, specialized training and vast experience has enabled me to win NOT GUILTY verdicts in some extremely difficult and seemingly unwinnable DUI/DWI cases, including a case with a blood test result of 0.29 - more than 3.5 times the 0.08 legal limit.  I have come to be recognized nationwide for my expertise regarding DUI / DWI and I regularly serve as a consultant on Virginia DUI / DWI laws.  I have appeared on tv as a Legal Analyst and I have been featured in both TIME magazine and Bloomberg Businessweek as a leader in the field of DUI / DWI Defense..
