DUI and DWI Defense

Charges of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) can carry significant penalties, including fines, license suspension, and incarceration. We carefully evaluate evidence such as field sobriety tests, chemical test results, and police procedures to identify potential defenses. Our goal is to protect our clients’ rights while providing guidance at every step of the process.

Drug Crime Defense

Virginia law treats drug offenses with seriousness, ranging from possession to distribution and trafficking. These cases often involve constitutional questions related to search and seizure, as well as evidentiary issues. At Joshua Ellis Law, PLC, we closely examine the details of each matter to challenge weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and pursue the most favorable resolution allowed under the law.

Traffic Violation Defense

Traffic matters—from speeding tickets to reckless driving charges—can affect driving records, insurance costs, and employment opportunities. We provide representation in cases involving citations and criminal traffic charges, seeking to minimize the long-term impact of these matters through negotiation or courtroom advocacy when necessary.

Violent Crimes

Violent crime charges, including assault, battery, malicious wounding, and homicide, carry severe consequences and require a thorough, strategic defense. Our firm approaches these cases with careful investigation, attention to evidentiary details, and a commitment to ensuring that constitutional protections are observed. We understand the seriousness of these matters and provide measured advocacy to protect our clients’ rights in high-stakes situations.

Theft and Larceny

Theft and larceny charges can range from misdemeanor shoplifting to felony grand larceny. These offenses can impact both personal freedom and future opportunities. At Joshua Ellis Law, PLC, we examine the circumstances surrounding each charge, assess the strength of the evidence, and develop defense strategies tailored to the facts of the case.

Domestic Violence Defense

Domestic violence allegations can have immediate and long-lasting consequences, including protective orders, loss of custody rights, and criminal penalties. We provide defense for clients accused of domestic assault or related offenses, focusing on protecting due process rights and ensuring that the facts of each case are fully and fairly presented.
