I was born and raised in Virginia.  I attended college and law school in Virginia, and have enjoyed building a legal career and practicing law in courts across the state, from Roanoke to Virginia Beach, and from Richmond to Fairfax to Winchester.. I enjoy nearly every facet of the law, but I have a particular focus on the ethics of the practice of law, as well as the complexities of Virginia civil procedure.  Having had the opportunity while I was in law school to study and to work with W. Hamilton Bryson, author of the definitive treatise on Virginia Civil Procedure and truly one of the kindest and most intelligent men I have ever met, I gained an appreciation for the framework of our procedural rules.. I am fascinated not only by the rules themselves, but by the history behind the rules.  Virginia's legal community always keeps an eye on its rich legal tradition and its prominence in shaping American legal history.  From the strict rules governing some of the first British settlements on our continent, to the pivotal role of Virginia's legal elite in the founding of our nation, to the evolution of the law in Virginia to meet the challenges of the new millennium, our Commonwealth has inspired, and been inspired by, attorneys.  I am proud to be a part of that long and storied tradition.

Todd Stone is a trial lawyer in Richmond, VA.  He grew up in Harrisonburg, VA where he prosecuted criminal cases after law school. He moved to Richmond, VA to lead both the violent crimes unit and the drug prosecution team in two of the largest urban prosecutor's offices in Virginia.  In Henrico County, he was appointed as Special Counsel to the Multi-Jurisdiction Grand Jury for the City of Richmond & the Counties of Henrico, Hanover & Chesterfield.  In 1999, as a Special Assistant United States Attorney, he assisted in the prosecution of a “takeover” capital murder & bank robbery case.  This effort required about a year of preparation and after a lengthy successful trial he was presented with the Director’s Award from United States' Attorney General, The Hon. Janet Reno, in Washington, DC.  Stone's immediate supervisors were the Hon. James B. Comey, current Director of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and the Hon. Ken Melson, former acting Director of the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms).. Although he prosecuted numerous notable trials including murders, the Fan area serial rapist and multi-defendant gang violence & drug conspiracies, perhaps the most memorable was one he chose not to prosecute.  As a young prosecutor Stone was handed a high profile supermarket shooting case to prosecute.  He tenaciously prepared by visiting the scene, speaking with witnesses and reviewed numerous reports.  The cross-racial identification was shaky and when he uncovered evidence that strongly suggested the innocence of the young man, he dropped the case shortly before trial.  "A defense attorney's duties are to the client, but a prosecutor's duty is to the justice system as a whole.  That case was memorable and I've never had any regrets.". Stone handles a select number of cases in order to dedicate the time & attention that a case deserves.  His office is in the historic Columbian Block building above the cobblestone streets of Shockoe Slip in downtown Richmond, VA.  Stone has received the peer-voted “Superlawyer” for multiple years, the “Nation’s Top One Percent,” the “Top 100 Trial Lawyers,” the “Top Ten Attorneys,” the “Ten Best,” & as noted above, the Director's Award from U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno.. Todd Stone is regularly called as a legal analyst on multiple news outlets across Virginia & the U.S.  In the past, the list includes “NPR” National Public Radio, CNN, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, CBS This Morning & others. Most often he proudly serves central Virginia's two most historic & relied upon news sources, WTVR CBS6 television news & WRVA news radio 1140 AM.  WTVR was the first television station established south of Washington, DC.  WRVA, established in 1925, was one of the first radio stations in the U.S.. Outside of the law field, Stone advocates to help find a treatment or cure for a medical condition that affects his children.  He serves on the Board of Directors for the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation (MDF).  The MDF is the only major "disease-specific" foundation in the U.S. that focuses on Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy (MMD).  The foundation has grown exponentially in recent years and is advancing important medical research.  There is genuine promise of a treatment within our own lifetime.  Because it's caused by an extra stutter in the DNA  scientists have focused on silencing that portion of the gene with some marked success.  Since there's nothing missing in the DNA, silencing the toxic RNA leaves a normally functioning system thus an effective treatment could actually reverse the disease symptoms (as opposed to just halting it's progression). This has been shown in recent years with treatments tested in animal models.

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.. I have won cases at trial in all three trial courts in Virginia:  J&DR District Courts, General District Courts and Circuit Courts.  In addition, I have won in the Virginia Court of Appeals, thereby getting a felony conviction reversed and the case being dismissed.. I have shared some of my knowledge and insight in a book on DUI / DWI in Virginia called the DUI/DWI Arrest Survival Guide: The Guilt Myth - which I co-authored with Bob Battle.  If you would like a FREE copy, all you have to do is visit my website.. Completing certification training for breath alcohol machines is absolutely mandatory, in my opinion, for any lawyer who handles DUI / DWI cases.  I have gone even further and acquired several of my own breath testing machines, including an Intoxilyzer 5000 and an ECIR, which enables me to further familiarize myself with these machines.  Similarly, after completing training on forensic chromatography, I acquired my own gas chromatograph, the machine used in the state lab to conduct gas chromatography.. I have earned the ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist Designation, and as of July 2025, only one other lawyer in the entire state of Virginia has earned this Designation.  To do so, I completed course work on the following subjects:. (1) Forensic Chromatography: Theory and Practice, which addresses the theory of Gas Chromatography, as well as ethanol based analysis by Headspace Gas Chromatography with a Flame Ionization Detector (HS-GC-FID);. (2) Forensic Analysis of Solid Drugs, which addresses the instrumental analysis of solid drugs in their pre-consumption form using FTIR, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Colormetrics, Microscopy, Thin Layer Chromatogrphy, etc.; and. (3) Forensic Principles of DUID, which involves the pharmacology of drugs, issues of how drug use may or may not impact driving, instrumental analysis by GC-MS, Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), etc.. All three courses were 40-hour courses which included both classroom time and hands-on time working in a lab.  I calibrated instruments, developed samples, injected samples for testing, analyzed and interpreted data, etc.  I used the instruments in the same way, using the same matrices, as an analyst would in a forensic laboratory.. I am also a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Virginia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and I have been recognized for excellence by various organizations.. I have successfully represented clients accused of all types of crime, including those listed below:. Alcohol:  DUI / DWI, Drinking While Driving, Intoxicated in Public, Underage Possession of Alcohol, Sale of Alcohol to a Minor, etc.. Drugs:  Possession, Manufacturing, Distribution, Possession With Intent to Distribute, Conspiracy to Distribute, etc.. Theft:  Grand Larceny, Petit Larceny, Embezzlement, Shoplifting / Concealment, Credit Card Theft, Failure to Return Rental Property, Theft of Services, etc.. Fraud:  Forgery, Uttering Forged Document, Obtaining Money by False Pretenses, Bad Checks, Credit Card Fraud, Construction Fraud, etc.. Violence:  Murder, Manslaughter, Aggravated Malicious Wounding, Malicious Wounding, Robbery, Assault & Battery on Law Enforcement, Domestic Assault & Battery, etc.. Guns:  Possession by a Felon, Use of Firearm During Commission of a Crime, Making False Statements During Purchase, Possession of Concealed Weapon, etc.. Sex:  Rape, Aggravated Sexual Battery, Computer Solicitation of a Minor, Indecent Liberties, Carnal Knowledge, Sexual Battery, Contributing to the Delinquency of  Minor, etc..

Driving:  DUI / DWI, Reckless Driving, Racing, Driving Suspended or Revoked, Hit & Run, Attempting to Elude Police, etc.. As you can see, whatever it is - misdemeanor or felony, my team and I can help.. I work tirelessly to stay on the cutting edge in an attempt to provide top notch representation to my clients.  Below are some of the courses I have completed.. I have completed certification training on:. - Standardized Field Sobriety Testing - Instructor (SFST). - Standardized Field Sobriety Testing - Practitioner (SFST). - Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE). - Police Traffic RADAR/LIDAR. I have completed certification training and education programs on various breath testing machines, including:. - ECIR II (Virginia's current breath testing machine). - Intoxilyzer 8000 (the new and improved version of the Intoxilyzer 5000). - Intoxilyzer 5000 (Virginia used this for about 15 yrs before switching to the ECIR II). - Intoxilyzer 400. - Intoxilyzer S-D5. - Intoxilyzer S-D2. I have completed forensic courses on the following subjects and earned the ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist Designation:. - Forensic Chromatography: Theory & Practice. - Forensic Drug Analysis. - Forensic Principles of DUID. I have completed more general education and training courses about DUI / DWI Defense than I could list, or you'd ever bother reading, but here are a few of the highlights:. - National College for DUI Defense trial skills courses held at Harvard Law School (an annual program). - Mastering Scientific Evidence in DUI / DWI Cases (an annual program). - Forensic Breath Alcohol Analysis. - Medical Defenses to DUI
