Practice Areas: Automobile Accidents, Criminal Defense , DUI/DWI, Family , Probate , Wills, Criminal Defense, Criminal Defense, Criminal Defense
I am a seasoned trial attorney who has been providing legal advice throughout Roanoke County, Roanoke City, the City of Salem, Franklin County, Bedford County, Botetourt County and courts throughout Southwest Virginia for more than a decade. But, I have been protecting citizen’s rights for even longer.. Prior to becoming a criminal defense attorney, I served in the U.S. Marine Corps and earned the rank of Sergeant with the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington D.C. Then, I worked as a prosecutor in Roanoke City before finally becoming a criminal defense attorney in the greater Roanoke area, where I tried cases in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Courts, General District Courts, and Circuit Courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia.. My unique background and training have provided me with invaluable insight and an uncommon ability to resolve serious legal problems for all of my clients. Since I have been both a police officer and prosecutor, I have courtroom credibility and trial experience that few can match. Having served on both sides of the courtroom and as a witness as a police officer, the only seat I have left to fill is that of Judge.. Since becoming a criminal defense attorney, I have represented countless clients accused of committing criminal offenses. I appear regularly in the United States federal courts in southwest Virginia and had a case granted certiorari by the United States Supreme Court. I currently serve on the Board of Governors for the Criminal Law Section of the Virginia State Bar, and as President of the Virginia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.. My approach to law, in general, is informed by my unique life experience and training. I am often able to use this to guide clients to achieve solutions to problems that seem irreconcilable at the outset of the case. As a former police officer, Sergeant and Internal Affairs Agent, I know how to investigate and find evidence to substantiate your claim and help create reasonable doubt in criminal cases.. During my nearly twelve years with the Metropolitan Police Department, I received numerous honors and awards, including being recognized and awarded as a “Top Cop” by the National Association of Police Organizations for my investigative work. I continue to apply my strong investigative skills and reasoning to my cases to find factual support for the client’s case.. Given all these accomplishments, I am most proud of my beautiful wife and three children. I enjoy spending time with them and going to their activities, as well as hunting, fishing, shooting firearms, camping, and most all outdoor activities.

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.
