Founding Attorney
Born and raised in North Texas, Andrew attended the University of Dallas before earning his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law. He has called Virginia home since 2004. He founded the firm in 2008 with a clear purpose: to fight for everyday people facing legal trouble in court. He is also the author of Virginia’s most-reviewed reckless driving defense book and a widely used DWI guide. Beyond law, Andrew plays saxophone, rides his road bike, farms his suburban property, and runs a YouTube channel educating Virginians on their legal rights.
Partner (“Fitz”)
Ryan Fitzgerald brings over 15 years of combined prosecutorial and defense experience across central and Northern Virginia. During his 12 years as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in Stafford and Fairfax counties, he prosecuted thousands of cases ranging from 1st Degree Murder to misdemeanor traffic offenses. He served as specialty prosecutor for the Traffic Safety Unit of the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office and led the Forensic Docket team handling DWI cases involving marijuana, blood draws, and expert witnesses. Fitz has been featured nationally on Dateline NBC for successfully prosecuting a 30-year cold case homicide.
“I was caught speeding above 100 MPH. My charge was reduced to improper driving. He did all the heavy lifting. I just showed up to court — no stress, no worries.”
“Andrew was able to get me off the reckless speeding ticket. My fine wound up being $55. His firm was extremely professional. I would absolutely use them again.”
“Because I was facing a serious criminal charge with potentially life-altering consequences, Andrew remained patient, steady, and unfailingly professional. The judge returned a verdict of not guilty.”
“Ryan got my reckless driving going 100 in a 70 mph zone resolved with no jail time, no license suspension, and a fine less than $600. The staff — Dawn, Shelly, and Jason — were very attentive.”
“My DUI got reduced to reckless driving. No driving class, no probation — just a $400 total fine. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.”
“My reckless driving ticket for 76 in a 45 was reduced to improper driving with -3 points. If Andrew recommends something, consider it fact that it will work.”
