Annandale/Fairfax County Criminal Defense Lawyer
Criminal Defense for Everyday People

At the Annandale office of Lawrence T. Brooke, Attorney at Law, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of everyday people accused of crimes in Fairfax County. Do not assume that your clean record and innocence will automatically lead to an acquittal in the state courts of Virginia. It is vital you know your rights:
- You have the right not to incriminate yourself
- You have the right to due process of law
- You have the right to a criminal defense lawyer
Caring Service, Aggressive Representation
Led by Annandale criminal defense attorney Lawrence T. Brooke and his 35-plus years of experience, we help people when they need it most. We often represent clients who have never faced criminal charges before. We know what a difficult time this can be for you and your family, and we know how confused you must be.
There are many possible outcomes in every minor criminal case. The consequences can be anything but minor. You may end up with a permanent criminal record. You may lose your security clearance. Our job is to find a way to minimize the penalties you face. We will make sure you are treated properly and your rights are protected.
Whether you were arrested for drunk driving, stand accused of domestic violence, or are facing marijuana possession charges or other drug accusations, you deserve the strong and aggressive representation we provide.
Felonies and Misdemeanors
We handle many different types of felony and misdemeanor cases. Many property crimes in Virginia are only a felony because the property involved is valued at $200 or more. This is just the kind of crime a prosecutor might agree to reduce to a misdemeanor. You must explore that and other possibilities before talking to prosecutors or the police.
Most assaults, serious traffic offenses and many other crimes are classified as misdemeanors but the penalties go up to a year in jail. You need an attorney.
