In the three days from March 7-9, 2016, while visiting other cities like Northampton, Virginia Beach, and Accomack, we managed to appear in Norfolk General District Court for six different clients charged with misdemeanor charges. Our focus here is to highlight our Norfolk cases. While each of our six clients charged in Norfolk GDC avoided a criminal conviction, three of the six misdemeanor charges were dismissed.
