Partner Ryan Fitzgerald, known as “Fitz” to his friends and colleagues in the legal community, has over 15 years of experience both as a prosecutor and a defense attorney throughout central and Northern Virginia.

Fitz brought his vast experience to OUR side of the courtroom to fight for and with us little guys.

In his 12 years as a prosecutor, Fitz prosecuted thousands of cases, ranging from felonies to misdemeanors. He tried cases from 1st Degree Murder to speeding tickets and just about everything in between such as felony eluding and DWI maiming.

Fitz also provided training to police officers on multiple subjects, including on how to prepare for trial. He’s been featured nationally on Dateline NBC for his successful prosecution of a thirty-year cold case homicide. Fitz was the specialty prosecutor for the Traffic Safety Unit for the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office.

Over the course of his career, Fitz has handled thousands of DWI cases. He specializes in DWI, including Misdemeanor DWI First and Second Offenses, DWI Third and Fourth, DWI Maiming and DWI Manslaughter.

During his time in Stafford, Fitz reviewed incoming DWI’s to prepare other prosecutors for trial. He also led a team of prosecutors assigned to the Forensic Docket, for those DWI cases involving marijuana, blood draws, toxicology and expert witnesses.

Beyond that, Fitz knows that real justice means treating people with fairness and respect. It means treating people how you would like to be treated. It means striving to do the right thing. He knows what it means to listen, to care and to stand up for people who need an experienced attorney in their corner.
