Andrew Cornick

Firm: Cornick Ndlovu
910 Littlepage Street , Fredericksburg , Virginia 22401
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I have devoted my career to the practice of criminal law.  From my early days in law school, when I clerked at one of the most prestigious criminal defense law firms in Richmond, to the present day.  When I graduated law school I accepted a position with that same firm — the first offer extended to a law clerk in over fourteen years.  I learned a great deal from those lawyers and enjoyed success in matters ranging from traffic infractions to serious felonies such as aggravated malicious wounding and attempted murder.  I got around, too, representing clients in the courts of over thirty Virginia jurisdictions, as well as in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.. Feeling the call to public service, I took a job as prosecutor for the City of Fredericksburg in 2006. During my time with the City I prosecuted nearly every imaginable type of case and I routinely advised and trained the police officers with whom I worked.  I also served as a special prosecutor in Hanover, Spotsylvania, and Stafford Counties in certain matters.  In February 2009, I completed a course of in-depth training in the prosecution of online crimes against children.  I was only one of eighty or so prosecutors selected nationwide for that course of study.. I am admitted to practice in the state courts of Virginia and in the United States District Courts of the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia, as well as the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. I am a member of the Fredericksburg Area Bar Association, and serve on the Judicial Selection Committee and the By-Laws Committee.  I also serve as Chair of the Sixth District Committee of the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board.. I represent defendants in criminal trials and appeals throughout Virginia.. Email me at  or call me at to discuss your case.

Manuel Leiva

Firm: The Leiva Law Firm, PLC
3955 Chain Bridge Road , Fairfax , Virginia 22030
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
Mr. Leiva has the trial experience you need when facing criminal charges. He has both bench and jury trial experience, with matters ranging from misdeameanors to serious felonies such as murder. Many people make the mistake and hire a lawyer based on the years a lawyer has been practicing. If you're charged with a criminal offense, the number of years a lawyer has been practicing is not important, what's important is how many cases the lawyer has taken to trial. The reason is simple, if your lawyer can't reach a favorable resolution with the prosecutor, you have no other option but to go to trial. So, if your lawyer has little to no trial experience, you're at a severe disadvantage.

Bryan Jones

Firm: Bryan Jones, Attorney at Law
107 W. Market Street , Charlottesville , Virginia 22902
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
What I do:. I help people who are charged with crimes. I also help people prove their innocence even after they’ve been convicted of a crime. I love what I do because my own experience have shown me the value of good legal advice. My law firm is founded on the principle that good legal advice should be available to everyone charged with a crime, not just the wealthy or well-connected.. How I do it:. I help people by sitting down and listening. After I listen, we make a plan to get the best result possible. Sometimes that means we go to battle in front of a jury. Sometimes that means we negotiate a plea agreement with the prosecutor. Whatever it takes, I am here to help.

Robert Wegman

Firm: The Law Office of Robert L. Wegman
392 Battlefield Blvd S. , Chesapeake , Virginia 23322
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense, Drug Crimes, DUI/DWI, Employment & Labor, Environmental, Estate Planning, Guardianship and Conservatorship, Juvenile, Parole and Probation, Personal Injury, Probate, Traffic Violations, Trusts, Wills
Our Firm handles a variety of Criminal and Traffic law issues, including the following: - Felonies. - Misdemeanors. - Sentence Modifications. - Bond Hearings. - Probation Violation Hearings. - Appeals. - Criminal Records Expungement. - DUI / DWI; reckless driving, speeding. - Divorces. - Child Custody and Visitation. Mr. Wegman is an aggressive, hard-charging, honest, passionate and compassionate lawyer. Clients know that when their lives and freedom are at stake, they want him to exhaust every means to protect or preserve their rights. Mr. Wegman goes the "extra mile." Mr. Wegman has practiced law for over twenty years, mostly in the criminal law area. He has served as a JAG Officer, where he has handled hundreds of criminal and administrative cases, and he has served as a Special Assistant United States Attorney, where he has prosecuted such cases as fraud, theft and sexual assault. Surprisingly, Mr. Wegman has witnessed how little attention people pay to their selection of attorneys. People often assume all attorneys will perform the same, so they tend to go with the person who gives them the best price, or who has the best name recognition, or has practiced in the geographic area the longest. But how much is your freedom worth? If you have been charged with an offense, it would greatly benefit you to arrange a consulation at no cost. The unfortunate reality is that one's choice of attorney often means the difference between a conviction and an acquittal. Everyone knows people who have paid their attorneys a lot of money and gotten little in return. No attorney can or should guarantee an outcome, and if he or she does -- run the other way. An attorney's zealous advocacy, negotiating skills, and raw passion make a tremendous difference in the nature and/or duration of any imposed punishment. Preparation and attention-to-detail are the hallmark of an effective attorney. Obviously, knowledge of the law is crucial. Mr. Wegman strives to be the best prepared attorney in the courtroom. Post-trial matters, such as appeals, sentence modifications and probation violation hearings can be equally important in maximizing one's personal freedom. The attorney you hire to represent you should know the courts, the judges, and prosecutors. Only then can you can you get a fair assessment of what you face in court. As basic as this sounds, Mr. Wegman will also return your phone calls in a timely manner and keep you completely apprised of your case. He is one of only a handful of attorneys who will give you his cell phone number and encourage you to call any time day or night for emergencies, or just because you need peace-of-mind.

David Albo

Firm: Williams Mullen
8300 Greensboro Drive , Tysons , Virginia 22102
Practice Areas: Constitutional, Criminal Defense
Dave Albo has been in court approximately three days a week for over 32 years.  So he would be best described as a trial attorney.  People hire Dave to use his nearly three decades of experience in Court and over two decades of experience writing the laws to represent them in Court, protect their rights, and serve as their advocate.. Here are a few things you may not know about Dave Albo.. 1.  Five time Washingtonian and Northern Virginia Magazine top rated lawyer,. 2.  24 year member of the Virginia State Legislature and Chairman of the Virginia House Courts of Justice (Judiciary) Committee, thus he actually wrote or co-authored Virginia’s criminal laws for almost a quarter century.. 3.  Selected to teach continuing legal education seminars to other lawyers and judges. Topics included: Evidence, Ethics, Traffic Law, DUI Law, Legislative Updates, and Criminal Defense.. 4.  Hundreds upon hundreds of trials under his belt.  In his years as a prosecutor for the City of Fairfax and his 30+ years as a defense attorney, the number of cases he has handled is an estimated 3,000+. Many of these cases actually went to trial, thus Dave Albo gained – not in a class but rather in an actual court room during a trial – hands on real world trial skills, which are difficult to match.. 5.  Sought by the national media to comment on the law.  Dave Albo has been featured hundreds times in the national media – such as FOX News, MSNBC, all three local network news shows (NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox), Today Show, Dateline, CNN, Washington Post and the Washington Times, to name a few.. In addition to Traffic and Crimina Court, Dave helps clients with State and Local Government as a lobbyist, and practices Alcohol Beverage Control Law (Dave served as one of the only lawyers on the House of Delegates Sub-committee dealing with alcohol beverage control.  Consequently, he helped write every law that has passed over the past 22 years.  Dave can advise and represent clients in negotiating the often confusing maze of the ABC.  This includes everything from the acquisition of ABC licenses to fighting against its revocation by the ABC.)
