During Your Worst Times, We’re At Our Best

Defending Your Rights and Your Freedom

Barnes & Garrett is a successful criminal defense firm that represents people accused of all types of misdemeanor and felony crimes in eastern Virginia. We are aggressive and determined advocates who believe that every person accused of a crime deserves a strong and effective defense. When your rights and freedom are threatened, nothing less will do.

An Aggressive and Systematic Defense Effort

Virginia law is very specific in defining certain crimes such as larceny, theft, or assault. Conviction on other charges such as DUI/DWI, certain sex offenses, and even a seemingly simple traffic violation can depend on highly technical interpretations of technical data. Still others, such as drug crime charges can present critical legal and Constitutional questions. The complexity of these issues can provide various strategies to achieve a successful outcome.

Barnes & Garrett takes a systematic approach to every case. We carefully examine each fact and each aspect of the law to develop a defense and then aggressively work to defend the client's rights and freedom.

Seeking the Most Positive Outcome Possible

Barnes & Garrett will always work to obtain the best outcome possible, given the circumstances of the case. Working closely with you, we will develop the right defense strategy for you. In some cases, that might mean persuading the prosecutor to drop the charge. In others, we may decide to defend you aggressively in court, to obtain a dismissal or not guilty verdict. Or we may negotiate with the prosecutor to obtain a reduction of the charge with lesser penalties or an alternative sentencing outcome that avoids conviction or incarceration.

As your attorney, we will work to defend your rights, preserve your freedom, and obtain the best outcome possible. We care about you and your future.
