Frequently Asked Questions About Criminal Charges in Loudoun County
If you are arrested by police, or even if you learn that you are being investigated for a suspected crime, the most important thing you can do is assert your right to remain silent and your right to be represented by an attorney. You should never answer questions asked by police, attempt to provide explanations, or give your side of the story, even if you are just trying to be helpful. Anything you say to law enforcement could potentially be used against you, and police may even lie to you or mislead you into giving information that could be harmful to your case. Contact our attorneys right away, and do not speak to police or law enforcement officials without your lawyer present.
After you have been taken into custody and charged with a crime, an arraignment and bond hearing will be held where a judge will determine whether you can be released pending trial. In some cases, you may be released on your own recognizance, while in others, you may be required to pay bail. Our lawyers can advocate for your release at the bond hearing and help to minimize any bond that you may be required to pay.
In Virginia, misdemeanors are less serious offenses that may be punishable by up to 12 months in jail and/or fines of up to $2,500. Felonies are more serious, and they will typically result in prison sentences of at least one year and a maximum of life imprisonment for especially severe offenses. Felony convictions also carry fines that range from $2,500 to $100,000, and they can result in loss of civil rights, including the right to vote or possess firearms.
If law enforcement violated your constitutional rights, such as by conducting an unlawful search or failing to provide you with a "Miranda warning" informing you of your right to remain silent and your right to be represented by an attorney, the evidence they obtained through these violations may be suppressed. This can weaken the prosecution's case significantly, which may help you avoid a conviction. Our lawyers will carefully evaluate your case to determine whether your rights have been violated or whether other defenses may be available.

Types of Criminal Charges Handled by Robinson Law, PLLC
Our attorneys can provide a strong defense against criminal allegations in both state and federal court. We assist with cases involving matters such as:
- DUI/DWI: Accusations of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can result in serious penalties. These offenses may result in jail time, even for a first offense, as well as large fines and the loss of your driving privileges. Our lawyer can help determine the best defense strategies in cases involving first-time DUI, multiple DUI, drug-related DUI, or underage DUI.
- Drug Crimes: Charges involving drugs or controlled substances may involve accusations of simple possession or more serious offenses like distribution, manufacturing, and trafficking. Our attorneys will help address any violations of your rights, determine whether you may qualify for probation, and work to minimize the effects of these charges.
- Sex Crimes: Allegations of rape or other forms of sexual assault can result in serious penalties. Accusations of child sex crimes, including those involving child pornography, can be especially serious, and a conviction may lead to a lengthy prison sentence and other penalties. Our lawyers can provide you with a strong defense to help you prevent a conviction that would lead to mandatory registration as a sex offender.
- Violent Crimes: Offenses such as domestic violence, assault and battery, malicious wounding, stalking, harassment by computer, or murder/manslaughter are some of the most serious types of criminal charges. Our attorneys can help determine the best defense strategies in these situations, which may include arguing that you acted in self-defense or that you were arrested based on a mistaken identity.
- White Collar Crimes: While offenses involving money or financial information may seem less serious because they do not involve violence, they can still result in serious penalties if you are convicted. Our lawyers can defend against charges of embezzlement, fraud, identity theft, money laundering, tax evasion, or other financial crimes.
- Larceny and Theft Offenses: If you are accused of taking someone else's property, you may face serious penalties that are typically based on the value of what was allegedly stolen. Our attorneys can help address accusations of petit larceny, grand larceny, shoplifting, or other theft-related crimes.
- Juvenile Crimes: When minors are charged with criminal offenses, the consequences may affect their educational opportunities, their future employment, and their freedom. We work with families to help ensure that minors facing criminal charges will be able to avoid long-lasting penalties.
- Traffic Violations: Our lawyers can help defend against charges of reckless driving, driving on a suspended license, speeding, or other traffic-related charges. We work to prevent penalties such as high fines, license suspension, or jail time.
- Expungements: Certain types of criminal charges may be cleared from a person's Virginia criminal record, allowing them to achieve a clean slate and avoid problems that could affect them in the future. Our attorneys work with clients to petition for expungement so they can receive a fresh start.

Defense Against Federal Criminal Charges
Federal charges typically carry harsher penalties than state-level offenses. Certain crimes may be investigated by federal agencies such as the FBI, DEA, or FTC, and local law enforcement may work with federal task forces to investigate people who are suspected of violating federal laws. Prosecutors have vast resources in federal cases, and mandatory minimum sentences will often apply for those who are convicted.
Because of the complexities of federal cases, it is crucial to work with an attorney who has experience defending clients in federal courts. At Robinson Law, PLLC, we can provide a strong defense against multiple types of federal charges, including federal drug crimes, federal child pornography charges, federal weapons crimes, federal fraud charges, and federal DUI/DWI charges.
