Protecting Your Rights in Criminal and Traffic Court

We know that a conviction can have lasting consequences on your employment, insurance rates, and personal life. Edwin Brooks uses his decades of experience to negotiate with prosecutors and argue for reduced charges or dismissals whenever possible. We also specialize in Restoration of Rights, helping individuals who have made mistakes in the past regain their civil liberties. If you have been pulled over or arrested, do not wait. Hiring a lawyer early can significantly improve your chances of a favorable outcome.
- Criminal Defense: Representing clients in misdemeanor and felony cases across Virginia.

Fighting for Veterans and the Disabled
Edwin F. Brooks is also a passionate advocate for veterans and the disabled. We understand the frustration of dealing with the bureaucracy of the Social Security Administration and the VA. If your claim for disability benefits has been denied, do not give up. Most initial applications are denied, but with the help of an experienced attorney, you can appeal the decision. We guide you through the complex appeals process, gathering the necessary medical evidence to prove your case. We see it as an honor to work for United States Veterans and help them get the support they earned through their service. If you need urgent legal help with a benefits claim, contact us for a consultation.
