Felonies

Felony Defense Lawyer in Henrico County, VA

Fighting for the Accused in the Greater Richmond Area

If you are under investigation, have been accused, or have already been arrested for a felony, the stakes could not be higher. Felony convictions carry serious, often life-changing consequences - years of prison time, steep fines, loss of voting and firearm rights, and a permanent criminal record that can limit employment, housing, and professional licensing opportunities.

The government is already building its case. Prosecutors and law enforcement are working together to secure a conviction, long before you’ve had a chance to defend yourself. Waiting or attempting to “explain things” without counsel can do irreversible harm.

You need to take control of the situation with a defense attorney who knows how to intervene, challenge evidence, and protect your rights at every stage of the process. The Law Office of Debra D. Corcoran can provide the representation you need at this critical time.
