Newsworthy Cases
Practice Areas
Expungements
Even if you are found not guilty, a charge against you was dismissed or dropped, it will still show up on your record. A background search of you will show that you were arrested. Perhaps you are applying for a job with a security clearance or job that is sensitive in nature, a background check showing you were arrested for anything at all may be a huge factor for a prospective employer and their hiring decision.
Restoration of Driving Privileges
If your driver's license was revoked or disqualified because of a felony Driving Under the Influence or you were declared an habitual offender, getting your driving privileges back is not something that automatically happens after a period of time has passed. You must be proactive and apply to have your driving privileges reinstated.
Sex Offenses
Sex offense crimes can be one of the scariest of charges that can be levied against someone.
Juvenille Criminal Charges
If your child is charged by the authorities for allegedly committing a criminal act, you should not think that the matter will simply go away since your child is underage.
Commercial Driver's Licenses
Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDL) are valuable. If you have one, your job probably requires it. Your livelihood could depend on having one. Certain convictions can result in your being disqualified from having one. Your employer may fire you for insurance purposes if you get convicted of certain moving violations. Even a conviction for driving 15 miles over the speed limit (not considered Reckless Driving) can greatly affect your CDL.
DUI/DWI
Driving Under the Influence cases can be very complicated. Each case is unique and you want an experienced attorney at your side.
Restoration of Firearm Rights
If you were convicted of a felony, you can't possess a firearm in Virginia. You can be charged with Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon even if you are just near a firearm. And depending on when you were convicted and what you were convicted of, you could face long periods of mandatory incarceration. However, the good news is that you can have your firearm rights restored.

testimonials from satisfied clients
When my son was arrested, I had no idea where to turn. I recieved Mr. David's card and was told he was the best. I contacted him and from the beginning - dealing with Mr. David was exceptional! He was helpful, informative, tactful, and most importantly knew what he was doing. Not only is he on top of your case at all times, he keeps you informed on the status so you are not left wondering what was going on. I was very pleased with his services and I highly recommend him for your defense!! Catherine S.

I was very impressed with the way Mr. David handled my case. I thought I would be charged and fined, but the outcome was so much better than I could have ever expected. Mr. David was able to get my charges completely dismissed. I can’t thank him enough! I would definitely recommend Mr. David to anyone in need of an experienced and knowledgeable attorney.

It is always nice to have friends recommend friends when you need something. It is better when that recommendation turns out to be a truly competent professional that exceeds your expectations.
Jon David took a difficult an somewhat embarrassing situation and handled it. He let me know what to expect and gave me options to resolve it. I was impressed that a friend's recommendation turned out to be the best possible solution to my legal trouble.
Jon has now become the friend that I would recommend to my friends when they need professional legal representation.
