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.
