Bringing Our Experience and Compassion to Your Legal Problems
Multi-purpose law firms run on years of service, accumulated insights into our justice system and empathy for a client's situation.
At Keats & Meleen, P.L.C., in Fairfax, those qualities fuel our efforts each day on our clients' behalf.
If you have been arrested for a crime you did not commit ... if you were seriously injured by someone else's negligence ... if contentious business litigation is the only way out of a commercial dispute — we are the versatile northern Virginia law firm for you.
Our attorneys handle a range of legal matters — criminal defense (including DUI defense) personal injury claims and business litigation. Our clients are represented by John A. Keats and Crystal A. Meleen and more than 50 years of combined legal experience. Our firm has been AV-rated* since 1980, a recognition based on peer review by other legal professionals. Whatever your needs within our diverse practice, we always put you first and strive to change your life for the better.
Keats & Meleen — A Combined 50-Plus Years of Service to Northern Virginia
We are just as comfortable in federal court, protecting your rights in a drug crimes case, as we are preserving a DUI suspect's driving privileges at an administrative hearing or making sure that traffic convictions do not endanger your Virginia driver's license.
Our skilled criminal defense lawyers never shy from an unpopular challenge. We won the only acquittal in a state terrorism case in Virginia. We have defended clients accused of everything from juvenile crimes to child pornography possession, and Ms. Meleen has been certified in Virginia as a death-penalty qualified attorney who can represent clients in capital murder cases.
Every American citizen has rights. When law enforcement and government fail to honor them, we will defend you.
You will appreciate the atmosphere of comfort, candor and trust that we establish at your free initial consultation. We look forward to meeting you and working with you. Contact us in Fairfax today.
