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.

Over 35 Years of Criminal Defense Experience

I've been representing people charged with crimes and traffic offenses in the Newport News and Hampton Roads areas of Virginia since 1973. I represent active duty and retired military personnel, as well as college students from Christopher Newport University, Thomas Nelson CC, Hampton University, College of William & Mary, and Norfolk State, and their families. I also represent out-of-town tourists charged with traffic violations in Virginia.

Every year I help hundreds of people facing criminal charges or possible loss of their drivers license due to a drunk driving or traffic offense. To put my experience to use on your case, contact me through this Website or call my office at (757) 873-8809.
