Since I began working at the Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Virginia Beach in 1992, I’ve had one primary goal: keep the Virginia Beach community safe. Each and every member of my staff shares this commitment to fight for justice. In this mission, we strive for excellence, fairness and understanding, while respecting the rights of the crime victim and the accused.

​

The City of Virginia Beach is seeing some of the lowest crime rates in its history and is one of the safest cities in America. I credit this success in large part to the partnership among Virginia Beach residents, law enforcement, and the Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney.
