We can assist with a wide variety of criminal matters, including:

Sex Crimes

Allegations of sexual offenses can damage your reputation, and convictions can result in harsh penalties, including status as a registered sex offender. Whitlock Law, LLC can help defend against sex crime charges, including:

Sexual Assault: Allegations of unwanted sexual contact or intercourse can lead to serious consequences. We work with our clients to challenge evidence and present a thorough defense.
Child Pornography: Charges involving the possession or distribution of explicit materials depicting minors carry severe penalties. For people who have been accused of these offenses, we can investigate the handling of digital evidence or other factors involved in an investigation to identify flaws in the prosecution's case.
Prostitution and Solicitation: Our lawyers provide representation for people who have been accused of engaging in or soliciting sexual acts in exchange for money. We work to help our clients minimize penalties and resolve these cases efficiently.

Drug Crimes

Virginia has strict laws regarding controlled substances, and offenses involving drugs may be charged as misdemeanors or felonies based on the circumstances of a case, the types of substances involved, and the amounts that a person allegedly possessed, distributed, or manufactured. Whitlock Law, LLC defends clients against charges of drug possession, possession with intent to distribute, selling or distributing drugs, or manufacturing controlled substances.

White Collar Crimes

Nonviolent offenses involving financial misconduct may seem less serious than other types of crimes, but people who are convicted of these offenses may face severe penalties. Whitlock Law, LLC can help address multiple types of white collar crimes, including:

Fraud: Charges such as wire fraud, credit card fraud, and mortgage fraud will often involve complex financial factors and digital evidence. Our team can review the circumstances involved in these cases to help develop effective defense strategies.
Money Laundering: We can work with clients to challenge allegations that they have attempted to disguise the origins of illegally obtained funds. We will review financial transactions and other evidence and help provide explanations for errors or inconsistencies.

Other Types of Crimes

DUI: The penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be serious, and even for a first-time offense, penalties may include fines, license suspension, and potential jail time. In these cases, our attorneys can evaluate the validity of field sobriety tests, breath tests, and traffic stops to contest the charges or seek reduced penalties.
Assault: Disputes, misunderstandings, or actions taken in self-defense can lead to charges of assault and battery. Our lawyers can help you respond to allegations that you have engaged in unlawful threats or attempts to harm another person.
Traffic Violations: Speeding tickets, charges of reckless driving, operating a vehicle without a valid license, and other violations can lead to consequences that may affect your driver's license, as well as significant fines. We can help you contest these charges and protect your driving record.

Expungement

People who have been arrested or convicted may want to learn about their options for clearing their criminal records and minimizing the impact on their lives going forward. Whitlock Law, LLC guides clients through the expungement process, helping them understand their eligibility requirements, file petitions and documentation, and demonstrate that they deserve to have their records sealed.
