Criminal Defense

Arlington, Virginia, Criminal Defense Attorney

Contact criminal defense attorney Jonathan Y. Short for a free five minute consultation about your criminal case. For 18 years, I have successfully defended adults and juveniles charged with crimes ranging from petty theft to serious felonies. I can help you, too.

Whether you’ve been arrested on a drug possession charge or accused of assault, or any other criminal charge, I will work diligently to achieve the best possible outcome.

I listen closely to your concerns and tailor my defense to meet your goals.  You can rely on me to do all I can to minimize or eliminate the consequences of a criminal charge.

I have a strong court room presence and an excellent reputation among prosecutors. They know I mean business. I’ll take a case to trial if they don’t give you a fair deal.

I am an effective advocate at sentencing. I aggressively pursue reduced sentences. I also argue for alternatives to incarceration, such as house arrest or programs for anger management, alcohol safety, and drug treatment.

I am very upfront with my clients. I don’t mince words. I’m honest with them about their prospects and I work hard to achieve the best possible outcome, based on their individual situation.

  • Drug crimes, including possession and/or
    distribution of narcotics and marijuana
