What is a criminal defense lawyer?
A criminal lawyer Fairfax VA individuals trust is a person who went to law school and was admitted to practice law from the bar of their particular jurisdiction. This “bar” is essentially an association which grants attorneys their licenses. Just like any other professional licenses, this enables an attorney to practice their law. And criminal defense lawyers specifically act as representatives of a defendant in criminal court. Lastly, a criminal defense lawyer who takes on a case can work to give their client the best possible verdict.
What if the person who needs legal representation is guilty?
A criminal defense lawyer can defend a person they know is guilty. However, the lawyer is not required to defend someone who is guilty, as private lawyers can decline a case or client permitting that they are not being discriminatory in doing so. There are many reasons why a criminal defense lawyer may opt to defend someone that they know is not innocent. Firstly, a lawyer is not so much concerned about what their client did. Instead, they are more concerned with what the prosecution has brought forward against their client. A lawyer’s job is not to cast judgement, but to use the law to defend their clients to the very best of their knowledge and ability.
If you are someone who was recently accused of a serious crime, then now is the time to act. The sooner you have someone dedicated to act as your lawyer, the more time he or she has to strategize and build your case.

Posted on AnonymousTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was facing a charge of Reckless Driving for speeding on I66 at midnight. This is considered a Class 1 Misdemeanor in the state of Virginia. Having something like Reckless Driving on your record is on par with having a DUI. This charge also carries a chance for jail time (up to a year). I was incredibly scared because I had never faced such a charge. And looking into Virginia Law, my speed exceeded 90mph, which is quite serious. I retained Dave Albo to help me with this case. Since my record was clean, Dave had advised I do the following before my trial. * Take a DMV Driver's Improvement Course * Take a Behavior Modification Course * Do 100 hours of community service * Print my DMV Record one week before the trial On the day of my trial, Dave got my Reckless Driving charge REDUCED to a regular Speeding charge. This was the absolute best case scenario for me. No criminal record. No jail time. No suspension of license. I did receive 6 demerit points and had to pay a fine of $250 (plus court fees). But that's a slap on the wrist, compared to what I could have been facing. Thank you Dave Albo for helping me through this ordeal!Posted on TomTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave albo it's a fantastic lawyer. He has helped me twice now with great results both times with minor traffic tickets. I would recommend him to anybody including my family. He has great ethics and honesty which is what I look for in a lawyer .Posted on kendall carpenterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave was my attorney recently for a car accident where I needed someone to represent me in court. After exchanging all necessary information he reassured me when the court date came that there wouldn’t be anything to worry about. On the day of court a couple problems arose and Dave was able to rectify them quickly, told me everything I need to say if needed and when it was all over he got my violation reduced significantly. I hope to never go to court again but if I do I will being calling Dave again.Posted on Amanda StallardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
