Why Choose Our Services

Deep Legal Knowledge. Decades of Experience.

Attorney Wegman has practiced criminal law for nearly three decades, including:

  • Serving as a JAG Officer, handling hundreds of courts-martial and administrative discharge boards.
  • Serving as a Special Assistant United States Attorney, prosecuting felony and misdemeanor cases on Navy and Coast Guard installations.
  • Successfully defending clients in both civilian and military courts across Virginia and federal jurisdictions.
Your Attorney Should Be More Than a Name

Too many people choose a criminal defense lawyer based on price, name recognition, or who shows up first in an online search. Unfortunately, this can lead to poor representation, lost opportunities, and devastating outcomes. Attorney Wegman frequently receives cases from clients who hired the wrong attorney the first time—and need real help the second time around.

Recognized for Excellence

Attorney Robert L. Wegman has been named one of the Top 3 Criminal Defense Attorneys in Chesapeake—a recognition earned through consistent results, client trust, and tireless legal work.

Don't Face Criminal Charges Alone

If you or a loved one has been arrested or charged with a crime, time is critical. The earlier you get legal representation, the stronger your defense can be.
