Practice Areas

Newport News, Virginia, Criminal Defense

At the law office of John J. Rice, I expose mistakes on the part of investigators and prosecutors by consulting with forensic experts, lab technicians, and investigative specialists of all kinds. I tenaciously review police reports and crime scene photographs to determine if mistakes were made. In homicide cases, I investigate other suspects ignored by investigators and take the time to track down witnesses not called by the prosecution. Regardless of the charges against you, you deserve a strong criminal defense. I have the resources and experience needed to meet the challenges of today's sophisticated court room, utilizing the latest advancements and techniques in forensic science.
