W. Andrew Patzig
Chesapeake (Independent City) County, VA Criminal Defense Lawyer with 12 years of experience
Criminal Defense, Divorce, Family and Juvenile
After finishing law school, I started a company focused on teaching new fathers (by birth or adoption) skills and abilities they may not have had a chance to learn. Eventually I closed that business in order to work in the area of foreclosure prevention law due to the increasingly common foreclosure (which in Virginia can happen very quickly). I have chosen to continue to help people in need at my own law firm so I can give my clients the attention they deserve.
