VIRGINIA BEACH DOMESTIC ASSAULT DEFENSE LAWYER
According to Virginia law, domestic assault occurs when a person commits an act of assault and battery against a family or household member. This can involve violence, force, or even just threats of injury that make them fearful of injury or harm. Unlike assault and battery, domestic violence charges can be very personal, and may even involve exaggerated or false claims. As Virginia Beach criminal defense attorneys, I am very sympathetic and compassionate to the emotionally charged nature of these situations. Read More

Felonies Hired Attorney George Holton Yates Mr Yates has done everything he can to get me home to my family and explain every detail about my case to me , highly recommended , if I could give him rate him 10 stars I would. He’s a great compassionate guy and perfect for any case of any sort!
Success I recently needed legal representation and Mr. Yates did a fantastic job. His knowledge and attention to detail aided in the success of my case. He was very professional and his office staff was very helpful. I feel confident in recommending Mr. Yates's legal services. He is not only thorough, but willing to take the time to discuss my concerns and respond to questions.
Great Dismissal! Unfortunately, I received a summons for speeding more than 10 mph over the limit. At my first appearance I asked for a continuance to hire an attorney and made an appointment to see Mr. Yates. Feeling I could trust and confide in Mr. Yates, I retained him and follow his instructions. On the day of my court case, the charge for speeding was DISMISSED!
Love my results!! The Best Charged with several things and only found guilty on 1 charge that was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor. Received a small fee, court costs and NO JAIL TIME! Hallelujah. Retain this man. There is nobody better.
Dismissed!!! Assault case Talk about professional. Mr Yates will tell you the ins and outs of your case. This was my first time dealing with Johnny Law so by nature I was nervous. They always say go with your first instinct and that's what I did. So I called Mr Yates and the receptionist was as calm as possible and very embarrassing. She told me with confidence "Mr Yates is the man for you and he'll take care of you" from there I set up a meeting. I can admit I was nervous speaking with him but he reassured me…
Mr. Great Lawyer. He's helped my family through the years. I'd recommend him highly to anyone seeking an attorney.
2nd DUI Mr. Yates is a great lawyer. He knows the laws and my DUI case was dismissed. He was very compassionate with my situation. We used him 30 years ago on another matter and he was able to mediate and make both parties happy. His rates are reasonable and far less than others that quoted. If I ever need him in the future, I will definitely use him again.
I was blindsided when I got arrested by ODU PD for just having a picture of a fake ID on my phone. I felt scared, confused, and honestly hopeless. It all happened so fast, and I didn’t know what to do or who to turn to. That’s when my family found Mr. George Yates. He dropped everything and came through for me the night before my first court hearing. He got me out of jail and immediately gave me a sense of peace. I’ll never forget when he looked at me and said, “Don’t worry, we’re going to make this…
