Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Being arrested and charged with a crime is stressful, intimidating, and confusing. On what is likely to be one of the worst days of your life, you need an experienced and aggressive criminal defense lawyer on your side. Your rights, your future, and your freedom may be on the line.
• DUI/DWI
  In recent years, police officers and prosecutors across the Commonwealth of Virginia have stepped up enforcement of drunk driving laws. Being pulled over and arrested for a DUI/DWI is no minor issue — a conviction for a first-time intoxicated driving offense could cost you money, your license, and even your freedom.
• Wrongful Death

  Virginia has some of the harshest traffic regulations in the entire country. As an example, if you are cited for driving more than 20 miles per hour above the posted speed limit, you may be hit with a reckless driving charge — a criminal offense.
• Burglary
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  Carrying a legal concealed weapon in certain places: Even if you have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, there are certain places where carrying a weapon or a gun is not permitted, regardless of whether or not you have a permit. For example, you are not permitted to bring a gun onto school grounds or places of religious worship. Doing so can result in either misdemeanor or felony charges depending on the circumstances.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  Accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. From vehicle collisions to slip and fall incidents on public property, you are at risk of injury all the time. However, if you are injured due to someone else’s negligence or reckless behavior, then you should be compensated for your damages. This is where a skilled Richmond personal injury attorney can help. At Bain Sheldon, we have experience handling all types of personal injury claims in Richmond and the surrounding areas.
• Medical Malpractice
  Our goal is to build the strongest case in order to get you the compensation you deserve. Many cases resolve out of court through settlement negotiations. However, if you attempt to resolve your case on your own, you may wind up settling for less than you deserve. Let our years of experience dealing with insurance companies and their attorneys work for you. We are strong negotiators, but we are willing to take a case all the way to trial if that is what is needed.
