50 Years of Legal Experience
Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer
Welcome to Flannery Litigation, where we focus on representing clients in both civil and criminal matters at the federal and state levels. We offer robust litigation services, with a focus on criminal and civil litigation. Our first strength is derived from our ability to investigate a matter closely, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of what we are dealing with. We’ve also had training and attended and given lectures that serve as our guide, to see what’s critical to resolving a matter, to identify the legal issue that matters. Lastly, we strive to establish a strong and trusted client-counsel relationship, after all it’s our client’s case, we are there to help, and working together is paramount to our success.
We’ve been working at solving problems and getting the best result possible for our clients for more than 50 years. When we are asked who we represent, in the most general way, our answer is, “the abused and misunderstood.” We have rarely known a client who wasn’t struggling with that kind of feeling in criminal and civil cases.
Who We Are
Over the years we have served as special counsel in various matters in and out of government. We have served as special counsel and as a federal and state prosecutor for both federal and state cases. On the civil side of the ledger, we have handled most cases you can imagine including nuisance cases, boundary disputes, tortious interference with contract, employment issues, unlawful discharge, intellectual property disputes, HR Matters, labor matters, lobbying, assault, and battery (but we don’t handle domestic relations cases any longer).
Early on we were interested in the law because of an interest in politics. We saw our entry to the world of law as our passport to politics and public service. What we’ve learned along the way if there are skills in both arenas that favor advocacy and success and settlement.
Our Services
We charge an hourly rate to best reflect the complexity of the case and the service required, which can be any of the following:
Criminal Defense
We have handled every type of criminal case. Our principal focus when representing a client is to fight to protect the client, in everything from a simple assault to a complex white-collar or fraud trial.
Civil Litigation
We obtained a multi-million dollar judgment in a national labor dispute for a client, and have handled cases that may be as “simple” as a trespass or as complex as a multi-party boundary or property dispute, our thorough investigation process and working closely with our clients drives us toward a better outcome.
Administrative Litigation
We have used various alternative litigation paths over the years, agency procedures in administrative hearings are on this path, and mediations, arbitrations, and similar processes are sometimes useful to get to a settlement we can all agree is as just as it can be.
Our Target Market
We work in the Virginia, West Virginia, and DC regions and are admitted in those jurisdictions to practice. We also cover New York (where we started as a law student and practicing counsel) and we have over the years appeared in various jurisdictions across the nation, from Hawaii to the Virgin Islands, and places in between, by a motion pro hac vice, which allows a lawyer admitted in one jurisdiction to appear in another on a motion to do so. Thus, when we appear in Hawaii, Louisiana, California, Utah, Ohio, Florida, Maryland, Montana, and other states, it means our appearance is valid based on motion pro hac vice. We go where the cause invites us to engage.
