Johnson/Citronberg is a criminal defense law firm dedicated to defending people accused of serious crimes. We represent clients in federal court nationwide and in Virginia and Georgia state courts.
Our law firm uses highly-skilled investigators, leading experts, and aggressive pretrial motions. This combination has resulted in a truly impressive number of dismissals and reductions for our clients, and the success shows. Our lawyers are routinely selected to be Super Lawyers and frequently appear in the media as legal commentators. We also keep our caseload small so that we can concentrate on achieving the best possible result for our clients.
With offices in Alexandria, Virginia and Atlanta, Georgia, we have a national reach with an intense focus on each individual client and their unique situation. If you are looking for an experienced, compassionate, results-driven criminal lawyer, contact Johnson/Citronberg at 703-684-8000.
The day before our client’s trial for possession of child pornography the Government informed us that it would be dismissing all charges due to our independent expert’s findings.
Our client was facing years in prison for allegedly being part of a large drug conspiracy. A jury didn’t believe the Government’s cooperating witnesses and allowed our client to return home to his family.
DISMISSED Rape Charges Virginia v. M.T.
After years of litigation, the Commonwealth in Virginia agreed to drop all rape charges against our client. Our firm used cutting edge experts to show that our client did not have the requisite intent necessary to commit the crime.
A jury took only 30 minutes to find our client not guilty of child molestation after a three-day trial. By presenting evidence showing that the alleged victim had a strong motive to lie, the jury agreed that she was not telling the truth.
Our client was facing a stiff mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years. We were able to convince the judge to grant her safety-valve and a sentence of straight probation.
DISMISSED Child Pornography Charge Georgia v. L.V.
Our client was charged with possession after law enforcement executed a search warrant. We convinced prosecutors that the search was unlawful and that any alleged evidence seized by law enforcement was inadmissible.
Our firm uses private investigators to conduct interviews of witnesses, perform background checks, and dig into parts of a case that law enforcement will ignore.
STEP 2: Expert Witnesses
We use experts from around the country tailored to our clients’ needs. From psychologists to computer forensic experts, our firm has access to the nation’s premier experts in their respective fields.
STEP 3: Pre-Trial Motions
From motions to suppress evidence to motions to compel evidence, our firm aggressively uses pre-trial motions to get cases dismissed or to greatly weaken the government’s case.
Step 4: Trial Preparation
Preparing well in advance of trial is key. Deciding which witnesses to call and which evidence to introduce is crucial. We often employ focus groups to help us refine these decisions and win the case.
