Manassas Criminal Defense Attorneys
Offering Quality Representation & Protecting Your Rights
Being charged with a crime in Virginia is an intimidating and overwhelming experience. The power of the government is being leveraged against you. Your liberty, livelihood, and reputation are on the line. To further complicate matters, Virginia’s legal system is complex and difficult to negotiate without the help of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
Dischley Law, PLLC focuses on providing effective representation for those individuals accused of committing crimes in Virginia state and federal courts. We represent clients in Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudon, Prince William, Fauquier, Stafford, and other surrounding counties in Virginia.

Therefore, you need a lawyer who knows what the prosecutor is thinking and can evaluate the risk associated with a trial versus a plea. Therefore, assisting you in developing a strategy that is proven to be successful, the lawyers at Dischley Law, PLLC can help you win your case.

Felony or Misdemeanor?
Felony or misdemeanor charges carry serious consequences. How will you successfully fight the charges? How important is it for you to have a clean criminal record? Will you end up in jail or on probation? You need the best protection. You need an experienced Manassas criminal defense attorney with the inside knowledge that only comes from being a former prosecutor.
Felony Charges
A felony is the most serious charge one can be accused of. A felony is a crime punished by more than one (1) year [or twelve (12) months] in prison. (Felonies are distinguished from misdemeanors and infractions by the punishment). In addition to the negative stigma of being a convicted felon, a felony conviction will also result in a loss of your right to vote, hold public office, possess a firearm, sit on a jury, and serve as a notary public.
Due to the severity of these types of offenses, felony convictions are often accompanied by long prison terms coupled with extensive probationary periods after your release from prison. A conviction will change your life forever! An experienced and zealous criminal defense attorney can help you overcome these accusations.
Misdemeanor Charges
Less severe offenses are called misdemeanors. Misdemeanors are punished by lesser fines than felonies and by no more than 12 months in jail.
Despite being less serious than a felony offense, misdemeanors are still as disruptive to your life. The mere presence of a criminal conviction on your record could cost you a job, security clearance, loss of financial aid, and much more. Not only do you need to stay out of jail, you need to protect your record. A former prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney can help you avoid all the negatives associated with a criminal conviction.
The assistance of a criminal defense attorney will prove invaluable when the repercussions of a criminal conviction are avoided. Attorney Dischley is a proven Manassas criminal defense attorney who will work tirelessly towards getting the charges dropped.
