Glen Henkle is a lifelong Virginian whose family has proudly called this state home for over 200 years.

Glen has successfully prosecuted or defended (or both) most of the common crimes in Virginia, including, but not limited to, abduction, assault, attempted murder, bad check, burglary, conspiracy, credit card offenses, destruction of property, disorderly conduct, domestic assault, DUI, driving suspended, drug possession, drug distribution, forgery/uttering, habitual offender, larceny, malicious wounding, probation violation, reckless driving, robbery, sexual assault, speeding, and underage possession of alcohol. Additionally, as a prosecutor, Glen successfully handled many civil forfeiture cases in which the state sought to have assets, seized as a result of narcotics investigations, forfeited to the government for the use of law enforcement. Having had the experience of building and presenting cases for the government, Glen is well equipped to defend his clients' interests by finding the weaknesses in any opponent's position and exploiting them. He founded this firm in 2012 to share his experience and skills with the public, help them navigate the often complicated and confusing world of laws and courtrooms, and to strive for the best possible outcome for each client, whether in the courtroom or elsewhere.
