A criminal conviction has consequences not only for your freedom but also for your work life, your family finances and your standing in the community. It is absolutely vital to retain a skilled attorney who can guide you through the process and stand up for your constitutional rights.

With a combined five decades of experience in both state and federal courts, we are Richmond criminal defense lawyers who are well-equipped to fight for you. At Bounds & Bounds, we have a good track record of defending against serious felony charges, from drug crimes and sex offenses to gun crimes and murder. We also defend against charges involving driving under the influence (DUI), misdemeanors and traffic violations. We will exhaust every avenue to dismiss the charges or reduce the impacts they will have on your life, including defending you at trial.

Managing partner Daniel James Bounds was a captain in the United States Marine Corps and brings both public and private sector experience to the practice of law. Partner Robert Lorey brings more than 20 years of experience in criminal and civil law. Senior partner James Bounds also served in the U.S. Marines and brings decades of experience in criminal law and business litigation.

Family court is stressful and complex, especially when there are children in the picture. Amicable negotiations or mediation do not work in every situation. We are trial lawyers who excel in contested divorce and custody disputes, whether our clients are protecting their fair shares of marital assets, fighting for their parental rights, or hashing out alimony payments or co-parenting logistics.

At Bounds and Bounds, we handle all facets of Virginia divorce and domestic relations law. We regularly represent active duty and veteran military personnel (or their civilian spouses) and are well-versed in the special considerations of military divorce. We also have experience with the complexities of high-asset divorce, including business valuations, deferred compensation, separate property and hidden assets. Count on us to look out for your short-term and long-range interests.
