None of us can predict the future, but there’s no need to let unexpected challenges or simple mistakes put everything you’ve worked for at risk. James E. Short, PLC can provide the legal help you need to find the best way to move forward.
Criminal Defense
My office provides aggressive criminal defense representation for Virginia residents charged with a wide range of misdemeanor and felony crimes, including drug possession, domestic violence, and assault. I believe every charge, even if you think it’s a simple misunderstanding, must be taken seriously due to the far-reaching consequences a criminal record can have on your future opportunities.
My criminal defense services also include DUI/DWI and reckless driving charges. Many people are surprised to learn these are both considered criminal charges instead of simple traffic offenses. With my help, you may be able to preserve your driving privileges and avoid facing a stiff increase in insurance premiums.
Family Law
When your family’s wellbeing is at stake, you need an attorney you can trust. I’ll handle your family law concerns with sensitivity and discretion while working to ensure your interests are protected and you won’t face an undue financial burden.
I handle both contested and uncontested divorce in Virginia. I’m also equipped to address your needs regarding child support, child custody, and visitation issues—even if you never legally married your child’s other parent.
