A Voice for the Accused in the Virginia Criminal Justice System

At Kissiah & Schaefer, PLLC, you will find a Fairfax criminal defense lawyer who has the experience and skill to give you the best chances in the courtroom. With more than 15 combined years of experience as public defenders, we understand criminal law, and we know how to give our clients the best chances before the judge and jury.
Relevant Experience | Public Defenders
A lot of attorneys advertise experience as prosecutors. We think defense experience is more important for someone accused of a crime. Our experience as criminal defense lawyers has given us the skill of listening and understanding. We will take the time to understand your story, and then we will make sure your story is communicated to the court to maximize your chances of a satisfying result.
We provide a voice for our clients in the criminal justice system.
We provide skill, focus and empathy for our clients in criminal matters involving:
- Mental health defenses: We have an exceptional amount of experience dealing with issues like insanity pleas, competency and restoration. If you were unable to understand right from wrong, or if you were acting on an irresistible impulse, we might be able to mitigate the punishment you receive.
- Driving offenses: We can help defend you from charges of DUI, driving on a suspended license or reckless driving.
- Other criminal offenses: Sex crimes, drug crimes and homicide are some of the more common cases we handle for our clients.
- Juvenile court crimes: We represent clients in cases involving child crimes, crimes committed against children and crimes committed against other family members.
