John A. March, Attorney at Law

About John A. March, Attorney At Law My name is John A. March, and I am a highly dedicated criminal defense lawyer representing the rights of individuals facing criminal charges in Richmond, Virginia. When you or a loved one faces criminal charges, there’s no need to head blindly into the courtroom. I encourage you to turn to my 17 years as a defense attorney. In that time, I have handled hundreds of complex criminal cases in both state and federal court. No matter the charges, I am confident that I can help you reach a positive outcome and move forward with your life. A Personal Approach To Protecting Your Rights When you hire a defense attorney, it’s important to hire someone you are comfortable talking with. As your lawyer, I’m not here to judge you. Instead, I will sit down with you, listen to your side of the story, answer questions, and build a defense strategy focused on your goals. Although other firms may tell you what you want to hear during a consultation, I believe in being honest. I will outline the best-case and worst-case scenarios while offering my honest assessment of your options. With a clear understanding of the facts, we can work together to take meaningful action toward a realistic outcome. I Let My Former Clients Do The Talking Throughout my career, I have worked with numerous people facing all types of legal issues. Many of these former clients have offered positive reviews of my services. They speak to my dedication, work ethic and the quality of legal counsel I strive to deliver. I invite you to take a moment, read through what my former clients have to say, and then reach out and speak with me directly to determine if I am the attorney for you.

Traffic Violations And DUI/DWI When you face serious traffic offenses like drunk driving (DUI/DWI) or reckless driving, you need effective and experienced representation. My name is John A. March, and I am a Richmond criminal defense attorney with more than 17 years of experience defending resident and out-of-state drivers. Reckless Driving Charges Are More Serious Than You Think Virginia has some of the strictest speeding and reckless driving laws in the United States. If you are driving more than 20 miles per hour over the posted speed limit or driving faster than 80 miles per hour, you can be cited for reckless driving. More than a speeding ticket or certain other traffic infractions, reckless driving is a Class 1 misdemeanor crime that carries up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. If you have been stopped and cited, or received a ticket after a traffic accident, you have options other than simply paying the fine. When you obtain my services, I will defend your rights when you are facing the following: DWI/DUI and implied consent issues involving breath tests and blood tests Driving without a license or with a suspended license Reckless driving Failure to stop or yield Evading police Speeding Driving without insurance Hit and run It’s important to understand the costs of not contesting reckless driving and other traffic charges: You acquire points on your license; your insurance skyrockets; you can lose your license; and you could face jail time. As your lawyer, I will help you fight the charges and preserve your record. Local Representation For Out-Of-State Drivers A traffic citation or DUI/DWI arrest can be a serious headache for out-of-state motorists. A citation often costs more in terms of time, gas and annoyance to defend yourself than to simply pay the fine. There are times, however, when just paying the fine is not a viable option. It can result in severe insurance rate hikes, a suspended license and other consequences.
