I founded this firm in 1988 to provide the highest quality representation to people charged with criminal and traffic offenses. To achieve this, the focus of the firm was centered 100% on criminal law. For 32 years, I have represented individuals in Federal and State Courts all across Virginia. I have successfully litigated cases ranging from a summary violation to first-degree murder - and everything in between.
Being charged with a crime can be an overwhelming experience. From arrest and booking to your final appearance in front of a judge, the experience can be truly terrifying. It helps to have an ally on your side who knows what to expect, who knows the law, and who knows how to fight to get the best outcome possible.
Allegations of federal crimes are very serious and should be treated as such. The FBI, DEA or CIA may be involved with investigating the incident and the U.S. Attorney's Office will be in charge of prosecuting the case. Many crimes, including many white-collar and drug-related crimes, may have a federal charge associated with it.
A drug charge can be a very trying time and can seriously threaten a person's liberty. Depending on the type of drug found and the amount you are found with, the penalties can range from probation to years in prison. Because there is such a wide range of penalties, it is best to contact our experienced drug charge attorneys who can help you get through these tough times.
Alcohol is a central part of many social activities in Virginia, whether it is a barbecue, sporting event, or family gathering. Unfortunately, some people have too much to drink and find themselves charged with a crime. Depending on what specifically you are charged with, this can be a serious charge.

There's only one way to describe attorney Jessica Richardson, she's "AWESOME" with her movement and very PROFESSIONAL, I love her energy." She knows how to HIT the NAIL directly upon it's head." Attorney Richardson is passionate about her job and her clients. She has great communication skills, she's more than willing to listen and it's easy to talk with her, she's a very good listener. Attorney Richardson is well experienced and have lots of knowledge of the law as well as good judgement in her representation for her clients. At no point was I worried nor had any concern of interest in how she

For the past five years I’ve had to secure the services of Patrick Anderson and Associates for various charges. PNA was a life saver for my family. Being extremely professional and knowledgeable in understanding and presenting the intricacies of Virginia law, made a tremendous difference in the positive outcome of each case. PNA provided quality time listening, communicating, and updating us during the intervals involving each case. They made us feel that we were their number one client.
If you find yourself in need of an excellent attorney, I highly recommend this team. The money spent was

It was unfortunate that I experienced a series of devastating events. I was fortunate to have found the much-needed professional help, legal expertise and empathy from Patrick N. Anderson & Associates. The entire office is totally responsive and supportive. They treat you with respect, dignity and compassion at each and every interaction. When my interest was vulnerable and at risk, Jerri Fuller offered me superb counseling and service to help me overcome the adversity. She paid attention to every detail and developed strong defense for my wish and interest. If you need a good a lawyer whom you

Absolutely Best Law firm I was Absolutely terrified of the legal trouble I was in. l found out about Mr Patrick Anderson and he saved my life. As I sat at home worried to death that I could possibly go to jail. Patrick said to me and I will always remember his words. Don't worry, I got your back.

I had lost hope in the legal system by being falsely accused for a federal crime facing up to a year in prison. Hope was found when in 2018, I chose Patrick Anderson and Associates to represent me. After literally reading every review on google and the firm’s website, I jumped out on faith and secured Patrick Anderson & Associates for my legal troubles. Immediately, I was put at ease as Patrick and his team starting working on my case. From day 1, Patrick and team made sure that no stone was left unturned and no question went unanswered. Thorough, from beginning to end (3 long years), is the

We met Jessica, during the darkest moment of our lives, and she was our hope and light. It's never enough to thank her, because she is just that amazing! She has it all--the intelligence, the energy, and the heart. First, she is 100% invested not only in her clients but also in their families. Jessica understands at the deepest level and is ALWAYS available for us. Since the moment we met her until now (even after everything is finished), she responds to us at a heartbeat. Second, her presentation in the courtroom nothing but admirable! She captivates all those in the courtroom with her powerful

Jessica Richard is an amazing attorney! She represented my husband very well. Every time I reached out to her with any of our concerns, she was there to reassure us that everything would work out.

A few years ago I was indicted and facing federal time. I was a college student and hoping to head to law school once I graduated. My life was turned completely on it's side. I was at risk of losing everything. But Patrick Anderson stepped in and helped reassure me that we would get the best solution to save my future and my life. He did just that. I drove him crazy as a client because I had never been in this situation before but he was patient and told me that when we finished with my case that he looks forward to the future I'm going to hold as an attorney. And yes today I have graduated from
