Having to appear in court before a Judge is an intimidating experience. You need someone to represent you who knows the process. Someone who thoroughly researches and prepares your case for all possible outcomes. Joe McGrath is that type of lawyer. We have used Joe many times over the last several years for minor infractions, all with a positive outcome. Most recently he represented us on some serious charges in two different jurisdictions.

Someone who thoroughly researches and prepares your case for all possible outcomes. Joe McGrath is that type of lawyer. We have used Joe many times over the last several years for minor infractions, all with a positive outcome. Most recently he represented us on some serious charges in two different jurisdictions. He was zealous in his pursuit of getting the facts of the case straight.
He repeatedly tried to call the district attorney in one of the cases for over a month, and the DA would not return his call. He finally got in his car and drove an hour to the DA’s office so he could provide his side of the case. He provided additional information to the DA and letters of reference on behalf of his client and was able to get the felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. We were very thankful for his compassion, dedication and perseverance to our case. Joe also recommended counseling which we would have not sought on our own. The counseling has changed my son’s life. This would not have been possible without Joe.
Joe McGrath believes everyone should have equal footing in the courtroom and be heard. He will stand up for you and not back down in what he believes is the truth. I would highly recommend Joe McGrath, because he cares about you and your individual circumstances.

I got a DUI for blowing a .08 at a sobriety checkpoint in Richmond VA and was facing license suspension of a year.{para}Joe worked with me to get all of the necessary information about my case, and handled it all the way until I was judged Not Guilty in Richmond Circuit Court. Joe can give you more background on my case.{para}Though there are no guarantees in his profession, I believe Joe used the best and most strategic tactics to prove my innocence and save me a crap load of money and time.{para}CPJ

Hired Attorney Joseph McGrath

I just had a D.U.I case on 6/24/13 in Richmond City Court - my case was dismissed. He was very prepared for the case he had a tape recorder, a past case that was exactly the same as mine that was dismissed, the statutes written out with an explanation. He had an aggressive approach to the case and the over 20 years of expertise dealing specifically with D.U.I showed in court. He is the type of lawyer that wants and prefers to contest case instead of a plea bargain unless its in your best interest.

Joe is an extremely effective litigator. I compare him to a mix between Matlock and Perry Mason. I had a case in Amelia County traffic court for speeding and a DWI. Joe was able to get the DWI charges dismissed and thus enable me to continue working at my current position. I would recommend Joe’s experience and expertise over most if not all lawyers in the Richmond and surrounding areas.

I contacted another attorney first to represent me because I would have to drive 300 miles to appear in court and the other attorney took two weeks to respond. I finally decided to try Mr. McGrath and he responded within one day. His fee sounded reasonable and he handled the case as a true professional. You can't go wrong here. I hope to never use his services again, but if I need to this is the place I will go. Thank you Joe!

Joe is an excellent attorney. He was able to discredit the prosecution's evidence in a DUI case against me in Chesterfield county. His fees are reasonable and he really fought for me in court. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

I retained Joe for two speeding violations that I received in a short period of time. Joe successfully had one of the tickets reduced from a reckless driving level to a non-reckless level and the other was dismissed entirely. I would highly recommend Joe's services to anyone who requires counsel for a driving-related offense.
