The Law Office of Thomas H. Wilson, P.C. is pleased to handle your legal needs. I practice in Prince William County, Fairfax County, Stafford County, Alexandria and other jurisdictions in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Tom Wilson is a criminal defense attorney who is a former elected Commonwealth's Attorney (Prosecutor). He has been an attorney for over 20 years and has defended numerous people charged with offenses up to and including first degree murder.

Tom Wilson has taught criminal law and criminal procedure and is a member of the Virginia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

Mr. Wilson appears in all State Courts and in Federal Courts in the Eastern District of Virginia (Alexandria).

Few people charged with assault and battery are prepared to evaluate their situation and even fewer are prepared to represent themselves in Court. If you are charged with a criminal offense, call us immediately at 703-583-1045 and set up a free consultation.

Mr. Wilson also handles CRIMINAL cases, DRUG cases, and TRAFFIC and DWI/DUI offenses.

Note: The alleged victim of an assault and battery has no control over whether the charge is sworn out by the officer in front of a magistrate. Further, the alleged victim has no right to "drop" the charge before trial or at trial. In fact, charges are almost never "dropped" prior to Court and only rarely "dropped" by a prosecutor at trial. Also, failure by the alleged victim to appear at trial will not result in automatic dismissal of the charge. In almost all cases, the prosecution will be granted a continuance and another trial date will be set. And if the alleged victim had been provided a summons, he or she may be prosecuted for failure to appear.
