Dave Albo – Attorney is an aggressive and experienced law firm serving the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. We are a substantial, statewide law firm with a focus on civil and criminal litigation.

ABC Law

We assist our clients in obtaining ABC licenses and represent clients charged with violations before the ABC and Courts. Our lawyers can also help you understand ABC regulations and compliance.

Assault Defense

Our attorneys defend your rights after being charged with Assault & Battery. We work to reduce or dismiss your charges and mitigate any penalties you face.

Criminal Defense

Once charged with a crime, the prosecutors usually have one goal: to convict you. Don’t talk to the police without your criminal defense lawyer. We defend your rights and your freedom.

Being charged with a crime can affect the rest of your life. Our attorneys defend you in court and protect you if you are questioned by police or prosecutors. We help people charged with misdemeanors and felonies.

Drug Law

The level of charges in drug crimes depends on the substance in question and the amount seized by police. Overzealous prosecutors may over-charge drug crime offenders by taking a simple possession charge and tacking on distribution charges. We help ensure you are treated fairly and work to exonerate you from unfounded drug crime accusations.

DUI / DWI

In Virginia, DUI and DWI are synonymous. In addition to the possibility of jail, a DUI can ruin your reputation and, depending upon what you do for a living, may have adverse employment consequences. Even if you were not in an accident, you will face serious driving under the influence penalties. Our lawyers help protect your freedom and your license.

Embezzlement

Misusing or stealing money or assets that an employer has entrusted you to protect is considered embezzlement. The consequences depend on the amount of money allegedly stolen. We work to mitigate your charges and defend your reputation and freedom.

Reckless Driving

The most common type of Reckless Driving is for extreme speed. The other most common is called “Reckless – General.” Its definition is subjective and relatively broad. Our attorneys review the nature and scope of your driving behavior to protect you from jail and prevent your license from being suspended or revoked.

Shoplifting

Shoplifting becomes a felony once the value of the items in question is over $1,000. Many stores have extensive camera and security systems and thus, prosecute hundreds of people per year. For first offenders, we can often get the charge eventually dismissed by having our clients do community service. For multiple offenders, we work to get your charges reduced or dropped by challenging the state’s evidence.

Traffic Law

Running a stop sign, speeding, or reckless driving can all add points to your license. In addition, there are enhanced penalties for violating traffic laws in a construction or school zone. We work to preserve your license and get your ticket dismissed or reduced.

White Collar Crime

Fraud, embezzlement, securities fraud, government contracts fraud are considered “white collar crimes.” We not only work to prevent you from being convicted, going to prison, and loss of any professional license you hold.
