If you are ever faced with being the recipient of a friend, family member, colleague or a client's one and only phone call from jail, and they are imploring you to obtain the BEST criminal defense attorney to represent them. Don't panic, do what I did, call Mr. Mark J. Petrovich. A lawyer's lawyer! AMAZING ATTORNEY! Highly respected by both his peers and judges alike. With decades of experience he has the legal expertise to handle the most challenging situations. Hard working, conscientious, detail-oriented, well prepared, direct, no-nonsense, thinks on his feet, confident, honest, empathetic, compassionate, understanding, are all attributes I experienced working with him. He took the time and had the patience to answer the multitude of hard hitting questions I asked and assured me that he would do his very best, which he did, in record time! If I were ever in need of legal counsel, for myself, there would be no one that I would trust more. He helped me, to help someone, who had entrusted their life to me and he did not let us down! Kathy Reiter, M.S.W. Director of the Northern Virginia Pet Loss Support Center.

I had a mistameanir in virginia on my way home to Illinois, was not aware of the sudden change of speed limit, when i was presented with a mistameanir and a court date, of course i was devastated. I reached out to Miss Kimberly Phillips, and Esha, and i have to admit Esha was caring and professional with all the information i needed, and Miss Kimberly phillips took care of case at court and bought the mistameanir to a ticket violation. The fine was bought down to 250.00 and i did not have to return to virginia. I really do not think i will ho back after the scare, but i highly recommend Miss Kimberly and Esha, they know what they are doing, and truely took my case in there hands.
Thank You Miss Kimberly and Miss Esha from the Bostom of my heart. I appreciate you both.
If you need a great lawyer from out of state, kimberly phillips is the lawyer to ask for!

I was in court today with Mr. Hasan, and he represented me in my motion for visitation modification and a rule to show cause for failure to pay child support-and we won! I have known Mr. Hasan since 2019, and he has represented me several times over the years for child support, divorce, and custody agreements. Every time, with Mr. Hasan by my side, I have attained the results I desired.
Mr. Hasan is not only extremely competent and prepared but also very aggressive in the representation of his clients in court. His sharpness in legal matters, work ethic, and determination are incomparable. Apart from his professionalism, Mr. Hasan is kind, considerate, and treats you like family. He truly takes the time to understand your situation and fights passionately to ensure justice is served.
If you are seeking a lawyer who will go above and beyond for you, I cannot recommend Mr. Hasan highly enough. He has been an absolute great advocate for me, for which I am very grateful.

I recently sought the assistance of Mr. Hasan in a challenging reckless speeding case that was initially classified as criminal. From the outset, Mr. Hasan’s expertise, professionalism, and commitment to his clients were evident.
What stood out most was his ability to thoroughly understand the intricacies of my case and leverage his extensive network and knowledge of the legal system to negotiate an outstanding outcome. Despite the severe implications of a criminal speeding infraction, Mr. Hasan skillfully worked to restructure the case, ultimately securing a deal that reduced the charge to a standard speeding infraction.
His approach was strategic, his communication was clear, and his dedication to achieving the best possible result was unwavering. He not only alleviated the stress of the situation but also ensured that my record was protected from the long-term repercussions of a criminal conviction.
I highly recommend Mr. Hasan to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation, especially in complex traffic cases. His ability to deliver results while maintaining transparency and professionalism is unparalleled.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding work Manuel Leiva did in defending me in a protective order case that was unjustly filed by my wife. From the very first consultation, Manuel demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep expertise, and genuine care for my situation. He took the time to thoroughly understand the details of my case, leaving no stone unturned in building a robust defense.
Throughout the process, Manuel was a true advocate for my rights. He communicated with clarity and confidence, ensuring I was fully informed and prepared at every stage. His ability to navigate the complexities of the law was evident in the courtroom, where his sharp legal skills and compelling arguments led to a complete dismissal of the case.
Thanks to Manuel’s dedication and tireless efforts, I am now able to move forward with my life. He brought not only legal expertise but also compassion and understanding during a very challenging time. I wholeheartedly recommend Manuel Leiva to anyone in need of a highly skilled and trustworthy attorney. He is, without a doubt, the best advocate you could have in your corner.

I received a notice of photo enforcement of a speeding violation. Mr. Clapp was able to let me know that paying the ticket would have no further ramifications, and that contesting it would not be worth the time and effort. He took the time to put my mind at ease, which was a great comfort.

I had a lengthy property settlement and divorce. And she was one of the reasons we were able to keep it as amicable as possible. She first helped me through the Property Settlement. Followed by guiding me through the divorce that followed. Patience was the key to my particular situation. But I know if the situation had called for more feistiness, she would have been right at my side for that, too. Everything is finalized now. And I know things would have been far worse and more stressful if I hadn't had her in my corner.
Everyone at NOVA Legal Professionals that I've spoken with is kind and knowledgeable. I spoke most often with Corrie and Brenda Membreno (paralegal). Separation and divorce are, by their nature, unpleasant and emotional situations. But they were amazing at helping that sometimes complicated situation feel less overwhelming.
She was the only attorney I have ever hired on my own, for any situation. But I did a lot of research before I did so and I read a lot of reviews. Her specialties and the other reviews seemed to say she'd be a good match for my situation. And the consultation I had with her confirmed that for me. Divorce lends itself to a lot of complicated feelings, but hiring her was never one I felt torn about. I'll always be grateful to her for helping me through this.
Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough about the exceptional experience I had with NOVA Legal Professionals. From start to finish, my attorney was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also deeply committed to advocating for me. They took the time to truly understand my case, explained every step of the process in a way that made sense, and always kept me in the loop. I felt heard, supported, and confident knowing they had my back.
What sets NOVA Legal Professionals apart is their genuine care for their clients. My attorney Alisa C, was relentless in pursuing the best possible outcome for me and went above and beyond to ensure I felt empowered throughout the process. It wasn’t just about winning; it was about making sure I was taken care of every step of the way.
If you want a legal team that is professional, compassionate, and fiercely dedicated to your case, NOVA Legal Professionals is the one to choose. They truly made a difficult situation so much easier, and I’m forever grateful for their hard work.

Joe Flood is an exceptional criminal defense lawyer. I recently used his services to defend myself against a criminal drug charge, and I could not have been more pleased with the results. Initially, he spent three plus hours calling the jail to get in contact with me in the middle of the night. Joe was extremely knowledgeable and offered knowledgeable advice. He was very organized and kept me informed of every step of the process. He always answered my phone calls/texts and handled all the details of the case very professionally. Even though I was facing a serious charge, Joe provided a sense of comfort and security as he worked through the case. Joe is a great lawyer and I highly recommend him for any criminal defense needs. He is the best lawyer that I could have asked for and I’m extremely grateful for all his hard work.

From the moment I hired Mr Flood, I felt like our case was the only case he was working on. He religiously stayed in touch with me throughout the various stages of the case and kept me informed and educated on every aspect as we navigated through a very long and drawn out process. Everything Mr Flood told me he would do, he did! My best friend is a criminal attorney in NC and he helped me find Mr Flood. We had a lengthy list of potential attorneys and we interviewed many. After the first conversation with Mr Flood, I knew he was the right attorney for my brother’s case. Mr Flood is professional, compassionate and smart, but most importantly he is competent. I would highly recommend Mr Flood.

What a Sex Crime Lawyer Can Do for You
A sex crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of sexual offenses, which can include charges such as sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child pornography, solicitation, and other related crimes. Being charged with a sex crime carries severe legal and social consequences, including potential imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, fines, and long-term stigma. A sex crime lawyer has the expertise to navigate the complex legal system, protect your rights, and develop a strategic defense to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
When Should I Hire a Sex Crime Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sex crime lawyer immediately if:
- You are under investigation: If law enforcement contacts you for questioning or you become aware that you are a suspect in a sex crime investigation, it's crucial to seek legal representation before speaking with authorities.
- You have been arrested or charged: Promptly hiring a lawyer upon arrest or formal charges allows for early intervention in your case, which can be critical for your defense.
- Searches and seizures have occurred: If your property, such as your home or electronic devices, has been searched or seized in connection with a sex crime investigation, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- You are facing related legal issues: If you're dealing with restraining orders, custody disputes, or other legal matters stemming from the allegations, a lawyer can provide comprehensive legal support.
What Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Do?
A sex crime lawyer provides a range of legal services to defend and support you throughout the legal process:
- Legal consultation and advice: They will explain the charges against you, outline your rights, and advise you on the best course of action.
- Case investigation: The lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying inconsistencies or weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
- Defense strategy development: They will develop a tailored defense strategy, which may include challenging the credibility of evidence, disputing the legality of how evidence was obtained, or presenting alternative explanations.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: Your lawyer can negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
- Court representation: They will represent you in all court proceedings, including hearings, trials, and sentencing, advocating on your behalf.
- Protecting your rights: The lawyer ensures that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.
- Post-trial assistance: If necessary, they can assist with appeals, sentence modifications, or matters related to sex offender registration.
How Are Sex Crime Lawyers Paid?
Sex crime lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, which can provide cost predictability.
- Retainer fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
- Payment plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.
It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.
How Much Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a sex crime lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the severity of the charges, and the lawyer's experience. General cost estimates are:
- Hourly rates: Typically range from $200 to $500 or more per hour.
- Flat fees: For less complex cases, flat fees might range from $5,000 to $25,000.
- Total costs: Complex cases involving extensive investigation or a trial can cost $25,000 to $100,000 or more.
- Additional costs: May include expert witness fees, investigative expenses, and court fees.
Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss potential additional costs to avoid unexpected expenses.
