High-Profile Defense Attorneys in Manassas, Virginia

From Steve’s interview for the Masters series on ReelLawyers.com

How Do You Handle High-Profile Cases?

Yeah, so over the course of my career, I’ve handled cases involving professional athletes, CEOs, White House staff, Congressional staff—people with a lot to lose. With those high-profile clients, there’s a lot to protect. They want to keep their names out of the news as much as possible, and I’ve been successful at doing that by dodging calls and handling things discreetly. I don’t talk to the media. The story is never going to be about me. If there’s going to be a story, I want it to be about my client and their innocence.

We’re pretty good at managing that messaging and minimizing exposure so it’s not all over the place. Most of the time, people involved in situations like that—especially high-profile individuals—just want to stay out of the news and deal with things privately.

There are some cases, however, where the defendant isn’t high-profile, but the case itself is. We’ve had plenty of those over the years as well. In situations like that, there’s no keeping it out of the news because it’s a story of interest. Again, our strategy is not to stoke those flames unless there’s a strategic reason to do so. If the Commonwealth is trying to educate a jury pool, as they might say, then we might have to respond with some things. But most of the time, we understand the story isn’t about us. We never want it to be about us. We want it to be about the facts of the case and about our client.

You’re never going to see me on CNN talking about a case, even if they ask. It’s not going to serve my client well, and that’s how we handle these things—we stay low profile, even in high-profile cases.
