Being accused of a crime is serious. When this happens and you are under investigation for a criminal offense, you need to take immediate legal action by seeking the help of a Virginia Beach criminal lawyer at my criminal defense firm. My name is George Yates, and I know how prosecutors tend to approach criminal cases.
In my more than 30 years of specializing in DUI law, defending a DUI case in Virginia Beach has never been more challenging. The cops are better trained, the prosecutors don't like to make deals, the judges are tough, and the penalties for a conviction get more serious every year!

I have defended thousands of DUIs during the course of my 30-year career, yet despite all these challenges, I still go into every one of these cases convinced I can win a good result for my client.Call (757)785-0201 to see if I can help you! When you and I and discuss your case by telephone or during an office consultation, I can give you a basic overview of what you are facing.
Have you been charged or are about to be charged with a drug crime? If so, it is absolutely essential to speak with an experienced and well-versed Virginia Beach criminal attorney as soon as possible! State and federal drug charges are unique. Current laws that are in place allow for aggressive prosecution and increasingly severe penalties if you are convicted.
If you have been charged or have reason to believe that charges are about to be brought against you for theft or burglary offenses, it is essential to contact an experienced Virginia Beach theft attorney as soon as possible! These types of crimes carry a stigma, and having a conviction on your record can negatively affect your life.

Highly recommended! I am a civil attorney and had a criminal charge in Norfolk General District. I called George and he got the charge completely dismissed. If you are looking for an excellent and trustworthy criminal defense attorney, do not hesitate to call George.

Talks a great game but when game time comes, boy does he fumble. It all sounds good until he can’t even do the basics like show up to court on time! He showed up late so many times the judge assigned to my case removed himself. I had yet another continuance with an entirely new judge. On top of that, he couldn’t even remember the details of my case! He rushes you off the phone, constantly cuts you off and thinks he knows so much just to get into the court room and tank it. He was even rude to my family on several different occasions. I should’ve listened when they told me to hire someone

George Holton Yates recently defended a family member who was falsely charged in Chesapeake with a serious felony-level offense. George applied his in-depth knowledge and understanding of Virginia law to the facts of the case and formulated a comprehensive defense that resulted in the jury's unanimous "not guilty" verdict. Our experience clearly demonstrates that he is a highly skilled attorney who worked diligently and timelessly on behalf of our family member. Due to his legal expertise, justice was obtained. We enthusiastically recommend George Holton Yates to anyone in need of legal advice

I am a 21 year employee of the federal government. Because of a petty dispute with someone higher on the food chain I was going to lose my job. I have had experience with Mr. Yates as my representation when I was in high school (reckless driving charge) and I was fortunate enough to only pay a 75.00 dollar fine. When my recent troubles occurred there was only one lawyer that came to mind. All allegations concerning my case were dropped and I remain employed without any punitive actions. I make no exaggeration when I state that Mr. Yates is a legal genius. Please do not hesitate to contact him for

Mr. Yates was someone I could depend on during a stressful time. I never thought I would find myself in need of an attorney's services, but I found myself in that position. Mr. Yates was very responsive and knowledgeable. In addition, he was very honest and to the point. It was going to be a difficult case and he let me know that. Regardless, I got through it and got the first item on my wish list...no jail time. I am here with my family because of George. And I couldn't be more grateful. If you want someone who will be honest with you and is willing to go through all possible options with your

We had the pleasure of watching George Yates in many criminal cases whereas he was hired by my brother. He walked in the courtroom with confidence and with presence each time. He knew exactly what he was doing and what was needed for each to reach a positive outcome on each case. He is highly knowledgeable and obviously experienced in the court room. He sticks to the facts and presents his cases with expertise allowing for the best possible outcome. He was also helpful in communicating to concerned family members best possible scenarios while answering serious concerns and questions . I highly

I had a tremendous experience with Mr. Yates. Without going too much into detail, I had 2 charges and dismissed later after being on good behavior for a year. Prices were reasonable. Not to mention, I live in California. I only had to come to court twice, for a short amount of time each time. He genuinely tries to get the best possible outcome for you . He is very straightforward but does a great job. He’s very well known in the legal system which made it even better! I highly recommend Mr. Yates if you’re in any type of trouble if you want the best possible outcome !
