Meet Chris DunnA Norfolk charge can leave you worrying about more than the next hearing. Employment, military obligations, professional responsibilities, and driving may all shape the questions you need answered. Chris starts by listening to what is at stake for you.

Preparing your
Norfolk defense.
Give your advocate the details that shape your case, your obligations, and your next step.
The evidence behind the allegation
Preserve existing messages and documents. Identify potential recordings and witnesses so the defense can assess what should be requested.
The next hearing
Confirm whether your matter is criminal, traffic, or another proceeding. Different notices can involve different divisions and deadlines.
Local court information
Know your court.
Prepare for your date.
