Understanding Criminal Charges in Virginia

In Virginia, criminal offenses are classified as misdemeanors or felonies. While misdemeanors may carry less jail time than felonies, both can have a lasting impact on your job, housing, and personal life. A conviction — even for a minor charge — can leave a permanent mark on your record.

That’s why it’s critical to speak with a defense attorney before talking to police or accepting a plea deal. An experienced trial lawyer can help you fully understand your rights and legal options.
