About

I have been practicing Criminal Defense since 2004.  My firm and I are dedicated to the defense of anyone who has been charged with a crime, be it a relatively minor traffic offense to serious felonies.  It is my deep pleasure to help people and to protect thier rights in and out of the courtroom.  Though I have been in many courtrooms in central and northern Virginia, primarily I practice in Spotsylvania County, Stafford County, King George County, and the City of Fredericksburg.When not in the courtroom, my intersts include, spending time with my family, reading, rooting for my favorite sports teams, and playing with our two dogs.

We had a great experience with John defending our teenage daughter’s speeding charge. I spoke with several attorneys I had found on the Internet and felt the most comfortable with John’s straightforward, honest, matter-of-fact approach. In addition, I found his rates to be very reasonable. Throughout the process John was extremely responsive and helpful – replying to emails promptly, even late at night. If more attorneys were like John there would be no place for lawyers jokes. I highly recommend him and he will be my first call should I need assistance in the future. As for the speeding ticket: DISMISSED.

Mr. Mayoras is a rock solid attorney. If you want representation in a Northern Virginia criminal case, trust me, you will have no regrets if you select Mr. Mayoras as your Defense Attorney. In August 2015, my daughter was a victim of assault and pressed charges against her aggressor. The aggressor counter-charged my daughter. Mr. Mayoras was selected as her public defender. Prior to the hearing, Mr. Mayoras engaged with the prosecutor and maintained contact with us. On the day of the trial I observed other cases prior to ours being heard, I saw weak defense attorneys lose repeatedly to the tough prosecutor. As my daughter was called forward I started to worry. Mr. Mayoras was a rock solid attorney as he cross-examined the defendant who counter-charged my daughter capitalizing on every weakness and inconsistency. He not only had my daughter’s counter-charge dismissed but his piercing argument ensured that the aggressor received a conviction. I was absolutely impressed. A year later my son broke up with his girlfriend. In her anger, in March 2016, she chose to file charges of strangulation, assault, and battery saying that my son tried to kill her. A felony warrant was issued for the strangulation and a misdemeanor warrant was issued for the assault and battery. At that moment our lives changed forever. If convicted, my son, a United States Marine, was facing a five-year prison sentence and discharge from the military with no hope of ever finding decent employment in the United States. Life as he knew it would be over for the rest of his life. I called Mr. Mayoras to take the case even though I knew he only practiced in Northern Virginia. Although he warned me that he had no insight into the Norfolk courts, based on my previous observations, I believed that if anyone could save my son, it would be Mr. Mayoras. Upon taking the case, he did extensive research and kept us informed of his strategy to win. With months of preparation we went to trial in October 2016. Like my previous encounter in court a year earlier I observed multiple weak defense attorneys lose to the tough prosecutors leading to multiple convictions. At the end of the day, the last case to be heard, my son was called to trial. I started to get concerned as the prosecutor started to build a case against my son. However, as every prosecuting witness was brought forward, Mr. Mayoras processed every word that was stated exploiting every weakness and inconsistency in their testimony through cross-examination. He even challenged the relevance of certain witnesses who as a result did not even get to testify. Then it was the time for the defense to take action. Short, straight, and to the point he built a bullet-proof defense with only two witnesses and the defendant. Sharp, smart, and one step ahead of the game, he even recalled one of the prosecuting witnesses and manipulated the individual to testify in favor of my son. The strength in the prosecutor’s case had dwindled by the end of the trial through the skill and mental agility of Mr. Mayoras. The judge dismissed both charges and my son was a free man with a life ahead of him. Think about it, Mr. Mayoras won this case despite having never entered the Norfolk courthouse previous to this. I challenge you not just to take my word for it. You have one chance to win or lose a case. Call him and find out when he is next in court. It will cost you nothing to see him first hand in action as he handles his case. I promise that you will be absolutely impressed. You don’t have to choose him, but please make your selection only after seeing him handle a case in court. I am in the military and am due to rotate to Florida next year. My only regret is that Mr. Mayoras is not bar certified in Florida! Good luck to you. Choose your defense attorney wisely.

John helped my family through a very tough time. He was knowledgeable and honest with us from the very beginning. Even the initial consultation gave me a positive feeling. John was great in communicating with us and always answered every question that we had. Seeing him in court was inspiring; he gets the job done! Highly recommend!

I was dead and buried! John pulled me out of ash's to give me my life back, You can do no better than John Mayoras. Other lawyer talk a great game but he plays it, i had lawyers that wanted $10,000 and $350 just for an initial consultation, John did it for much less and NO consultation Highly Highly Recommended

Hands down I would recomend John Mayoras to a friend/family memember any day! Ive had my fair share of experiences with attorneys in the Stafford Virgina region, to say the least, John ran cicrcles around many of the lawyers ive met. He handled our case very responsibley and professionally. He is knowledgeable and has great experience in his field. After having John Moyoras as our attorney I would not consider using anyone else! His compassion was extraodniary!

My grandson had been charged with some felonies recently.. He was supposed to be represented by the public defender, but they excused themselves. Then he was supposed to be represented by another court appointed attorney. At the last minute he excused himself. I believe God had his hand in all of this because the next attorney appointed was John Mayoras. What a blessing ! John gave my grandson great representation. He reviewed all the facts and went over everthing before the trial. He patiently explained the consequences of my grandson charges to me and my grandson. When young people are over the age of 21 most lawyers don't care to speak with anyone else except the client. People ignore the family member that is distraught because of everything that is happening to a person they care very much about. John took the time to speak with me. For that I am forever grateful. I can't begin to tell you how much this was appreciated. John is a great representative for all lawyers. I highly reccomend John to anyone that needs a really good lawyer. He may have been court appointed , but we couldn't have gotten better representation if we had hired a lawyer. Thank You John Mayoras, God Bless You

Mr. Mayoras handled my case very professionally and was able to secure the best outcome. He prepared me with a variety of possible scenarios going into court. He is familiar with the judges and attorneys in Spotsylvania. I was never caught off guard during the proceedings; which was comforting.

I challenge you not just to take my word for it. You have one chance to win or lose a case. Call him and find out when he is next in court. It will cost you nothing to see him first hand in action as he handles his case. I promise that you will be absolutely impressed. You don’t have to choose him, but please make your selection only after seeing him handle a case in court. I am in the military and am due to rotate to Florida next year. My only regret is that Mr. Mayoras is not bar certified in Florida! Good luck to you. Choose your defense attorney wisely.

John helped my family through a very tough time. He was knowledgeable and honest with us from the very beginning. Even the initial consultation gave me a positive feeling. John was great in communicating with us and always answered every question that we had. Seeing him in court was inspiring; he gets the job done! Highly recommend!

I was dead and buried! John pulled me out of ash's to give me my life back, You can do no better than John Mayoras. Other lawyer talk a great game but he plays it, i had lawyers that wanted $10,000 and $350 just for an initial consultation, John did it for much less and NO consultation Highly Highly Recommended

Hands down I would recomend John Mayoras to a friend/family memember any day! Ive had my fair share of experiences with attorneys in the Stafford Virgina region, to say the least, John ran cicrcles around many of the lawyers ive met. He handled our case very responsibley and professionally. He is knowledgeable and has great experience in his field. After having John Moyoras as our attorney I would not consider using anyone else! His compassion was extraodniary!

My grandson had been charged with some felonies recently.. He was supposed to be represented by the public defender, but they excused themselves. Then he was supposed to be represented by another court appointed attorney. At the last minute he excused himself. I believe God had his hand in all of this because the next attorney appointed was John Mayoras. What a blessing ! John gave my grandson great representation. He reviewed all the facts and went over everthing before the trial. He patiently explained the consequences of my grandson charges to me and my grandson. When young people are over the age of 21 most lawyers don't care to speak with anyone else except the client. People ignore the family member that is distraught because of everything that is happening to a person they care very much about. John took the time to speak with me. For that I am forever grateful. I can't begin to tell you how much this was appreciated. John is a great representative for all lawyers. I highly reccomend John to anyone that needs a really good lawyer. He may have been court appointed , but we couldn't have gotten better representation if we had hired a lawyer. Thank You John Mayoras, God Bless You

Mr. Mayoras handled my case very professionally and was able to secure the best outcome. He prepared me with a variety of possible scenarios going into court. He is familiar with the judges and attorneys in Spotsylvania. I was never caught off guard during the proceedings; which was comforting.

We had a great experience with John defending our teenage daughter’s speeding charge. I spoke with several attorneys I had found on the Internet and felt the most comfortable with John’s straightforward, honest, matter-of-fact approach. In addition, I found his rates to be very reasonable. Throughout the process John was extremely responsive and helpful – replying to emails promptly, even late at night. If more attorneys were like John there would be no place for lawyers jokes. I highly recommend him and he will be my first call should I need assistance in the future. As for the speeding ticket: DISMISSED.

Mr. Mayoras is a rock solid attorney. If you want representation in a Northern Virginia criminal case, trust me, you will have no regrets if you select Mr. Mayoras as your Defense Attorney. In August 2015, my daughter was a victim of assault and pressed charges against her aggressor. The aggressor counter-charged my daughter. Mr. Mayoras was selected as her public defender. Prior to the hearing, Mr. Mayoras engaged with the prosecutor and maintained contact with us. On the day of the trial I observed other cases prior to ours being heard, I saw weak defense attorneys lose repeatedly to the tough prosecutor. As my daughter was called forward I started to worry. Mr. Mayoras was a rock solid attorney as he cross-examined the defendant who counter-charged my daughter capitalizing on every weakness and inconsistency. He not only had my daughter’s counter-charge dismissed but his piercing argument ensured that the aggressor received a conviction. I was absolutely impressed. A year later my son broke up with his girlfriend. In her anger, in March 2016, she chose to file charges of strangulation, assault, and battery saying that my son tried to kill her. A felony warrant was issued for the strangulation and a misdemeanor warrant was issued for the assault and battery. At that moment our lives changed forever. If convicted, my son, a United States Marine, was facing a five-year prison sentence and discharge from the military with no hope of ever finding decent employment in the United States. Life as he knew it would be over for the rest of his life. I called Mr. Mayoras to take the case even though I knew he only practiced in Northern Virginia. Although he warned me that he had no insight into the Norfolk courts, based on my previous observations, I believed that if anyone could save my son, it would be Mr. Mayoras. Upon taking the case, he did extensive research and kept us informed of his strategy to win. With months of preparation we went to trial in October 2016. Like my previous encounter in court a year earlier I observed multiple weak defense attorneys lose to the tough prosecutors leading to multiple convictions. At the end of the day, the last case to be heard, my son was called to trial. I started to get concerned as the prosecutor started to build a case against my son. However, as every prosecuting witness was brought forward, Mr. Mayoras processed every word that was stated exploiting every weakness and inconsistency in their testimony through cross-examination. He even challenged the relevance of certain witnesses who as a result did not even get to testify. Then it was the time for the defense to take action. Short, straight, and to the point he built a bullet-proof defense with only two witnesses and the defendant. Sharp, smart, and one step ahead of the game, he even recalled one of the prosecuting witnesses and manipulated the individual to testify in favor of my son. The strength in the prosecutor’s case had dwindled by the end of the trial through the skill and mental agility of Mr. Mayoras. The judge dismissed both charges and my son was a free man with a life ahead of him. Think about it, Mr. Mayoras won this case despite having never entered the Norfolk courthouse previous to this.

In August 2015, my daughter was a victim of assault and pressed charges against her aggressor. The aggressor counter-charged my daughter. Mr. Mayoras was selected as her public defender. Prior to the hearing, Mr. Mayoras engaged with the prosecutor and maintained contact with us. On the day of the trial I observed other cases prior to ours being heard, I saw weak defense attorneys lose repeatedly to the tough prosecutor. As my daughter was called forward I started to worry. Mr. Mayoras was a rock solid attorney as he cross-examined the defendant who counter-charged my daughter capitalizing on every weakness and inconsistency. He not only had my daughter’s counter-charge dismissed but his piercing argument ensured that the aggressor received a conviction. I was absolutely impressed. A year later my son broke up with his girlfriend. In her anger, in March 2016, she chose to file charges of strangulation, assault, and battery saying that my son tried to kill her. A felony warrant was issued for the strangulation and a misdemeanor warrant was issued for the assault and battery. At that moment our lives changed forever. If convicted, my son, a United States Marine, was facing a five-year prison sentence and discharge from the military with no hope of ever finding decent employment in the United States. Life as he knew it would be over for the rest of his life. I called Mr. Mayoras to take the case even though I knew he only practiced in Northern Virginia. Although he warned me that he had no insight into the Norfolk courts, based on my previous observations, I believed that if anyone could save my son, it would be Mr. Mayoras. Upon taking the case, he did extensive research and kept us informed of his strategy to win. With months of preparation we went to trial in October 2016. Like my previous encounter in court a year earlier I observed multiple weak defense attorneys lose to the tough prosecutors leading to multiple convictions. At the end of the day, the last case to be heard, my son was called to trial. I started to get concerned as the prosecutor started to build a case against my son. However, as every prosecuting witness was brought forward, Mr. Mayoras processed every word that was stated exploiting every weakness and inconsistency in their testimony through cross-examination. He even challenged the relevance of certain witnesses who as a result did not even get to testify. Then it was the time for the defense to take action. Short, straight, and to the point he built a bullet-proof defense with only two witnesses and the defendant. Sharp, smart, and one step ahead of the game, he even recalled one of the prosecuting witnesses and manipulated the individual to testify in favor of my son. The strength in the prosecutor’s case had dwindled by the end of the trial through the skill and mental agility of Mr. Mayoras. The judge dismissed both charges and my son was a free man with a life ahead of him. Think about it, Mr. Mayoras won this case despite having never entered the Norfolk courthouse previous to this. I challenge you not just to take my word for it. You have one chance to win or lose a case. Call him and find out when he is next in court. It will cost you nothing to see him first hand in action as he handles his case. I promise that you will be absolutely impressed. You don’t have to choose him, but please make your selection only after seeing him handle a case in court. I am in the military and am due to rotate to Florida next year. My only regret is that Mr. Mayoras is not bar certified in Florida! Good luck to you. Choose your defense attorney wisely.

John helped my family through a very tough time. He was knowledgeable and honest with us from the very beginning. Even the initial consultation gave me a positive feeling. John was great in communicating with us and always answered every question that we had. Seeing him in court was inspiring; he gets the job done! Highly recommend!

I was dead and buried! John pulled me out of ash's to give me my life back, You can do no better than John Mayoras. Other lawyer talk a great game but he plays it, i had lawyers that wanted $10,000 and $350 just for an initial consultation, John did it for much less and NO consultation Highly Highly Recommended

Hands down I would recomend John Mayoras to a friend/family memember any day! Ive had my fair share of experiences with attorneys in the Stafford Virgina region, to say the least, John ran cicrcles around many of the lawyers ive met. He handled our case very responsibley and professionally. He is knowledgeable and has great experience in his field. After having John Moyoras as our attorney I would not consider using anyone else! His compassion was extraodniary!

My grandson had been charged with some felonies recently.. He was supposed to be represented by the public defender, but they excused themselves. Then he was supposed to be represented by another court appointed attorney. At the last minute he excused himself. I believe God had his hand in all of this because the next attorney appointed was John Mayoras. What a blessing ! John gave my grandson great representation. He reviewed all the facts and went over everthing before the trial. He patiently explained the consequences of my grandson charges to me and my grandson. When young people are over the age of 21 most lawyers don't care to speak with anyone else except the client. People ignore the family member that is distraught because of everything that is happening to a person they care very much about. John took the time to speak with me. For that I am forever grateful. I can't begin to tell you how much this was appreciated. John is a great representative for all lawyers. I highly reccomend John to anyone that needs a really good lawyer. He may have been court appointed , but we couldn't have gotten better representation if we had hired a lawyer. Thank You John Mayoras, God Bless You

Mr. Mayoras handled my case very professionally and was able to secure the best outcome. He prepared me with a variety of possible scenarios going into court. He is familiar with the judges and attorneys in Spotsylvania. I was never caught off guard during the proceedings; which was comforting.

We had a great experience with John defending our teenage daughter’s speeding charge. I spoke with several attorneys I had found on the Internet and felt the most comfortable with John’s straightforward, honest, matter-of-fact approach. In addition, I found his rates to be very reasonable. Throughout the process John was extremely responsive and helpful – replying to emails promptly, even late at night. If more attorneys were like John there would be no place for lawyers jokes. I highly recommend him and he will be my first call should I need assistance in the future. As for the speeding ticket: DISMISSED.

Ive had my fair share of experiences with attorneys in the Stafford Virgina region, to say the least, John ran cicrcles around many of the lawyers ive met. He handled our case very responsibley and professionally. He is knowledgeable and has great experience in his field. After having John Moyoras as our attorney I would not consider using anyone else! His compassion was extraodniary!

My grandson had been charged with some felonies recently.. He was supposed to be represented by the public defender, but they excused themselves. Then he was supposed to be represented by another court appointed attorney. At the last minute he excused himself. I believe God had his hand in all of this because the next attorney appointed was John Mayoras. What a blessing ! John gave my grandson great representation. He reviewed all the facts and went over everthing before the trial. He patiently explained the consequences of my grandson charges to me and my grandson. When young people are over the age of 21 most lawyers don't care to speak with anyone else except the client. People ignore the family member that is distraught because of everything that is happening to a person they care very much about. John took the time to speak with me. For that I am forever grateful. I can't begin to tell you how much this was appreciated. John is a great representative for all lawyers. I highly reccomend John to anyone that needs a really good lawyer. He may have been court appointed , but we couldn't have gotten better representation if we had hired a lawyer. Thank You John Mayoras, God Bless You

Mr. Mayoras handled my case very professionally and was able to secure the best outcome. He prepared me with a variety of possible scenarios going into court. He is familiar with the judges and attorneys in Spotsylvania. I was never caught off guard during the proceedings; which was comforting.

We had a great experience with John defending our teenage daughter’s speeding charge. I spoke with several attorneys I had found on the Internet and felt the most comfortable with John’s straightforward, honest, matter-of-fact approach. In addition, I found his rates to be very reasonable. Throughout the process John was extremely responsive and helpful – replying to emails promptly, even late at night. If more attorneys were like John there would be no place for lawyers jokes. I highly recommend him and he will be my first call should I need assistance in the future. As for the speeding ticket: DISMISSED.

Mr. Mayoras is a rock solid attorney. If you want representation in a Northern Virginia criminal case, trust me, you will have no regrets if you select Mr. Mayoras as your Defense Attorney. In August 2015, my daughter was a victim of assault and pressed charges against her aggressor. The aggressor counter-charged my daughter. Mr. Mayoras was selected as her public defender. Prior to the hearing, Mr. Mayoras engaged with the prosecutor and maintained contact with us. On the day of the trial I observed other cases prior to ours being heard, I saw weak defense attorneys lose repeatedly to the tough prosecutor. As my daughter was called forward I started to worry. Mr. Mayoras was a rock solid attorney as he cross-examined the defendant who counter-charged my daughter capitalizing on every weakness and inconsistency. He not only had my daughter’s counter-charge dismissed but his piercing argument ensured that the aggressor received a conviction. I was absolutely impressed. A year later my son broke up with his girlfriend. In her anger, in March 2016, she chose to file charges of strangulation, assault, and battery saying that my son tried to kill her. A felony warrant was issued for the strangulation and a misdemeanor warrant was issued for the assault and battery. At that moment our lives changed forever. If convicted, my son, a United States Marine, was facing a five-year prison sentence and discharge from the military with no hope of ever finding decent employment in the United States. Life as he knew it would be over for the rest of his life. I called Mr. Mayoras to take the case even though I knew he only practiced in Northern Virginia. Although he warned me that he had no insight into the Norfolk courts, based on my previous observations, I believed that if anyone could save my son, it would be Mr. Mayoras. Upon taking the case, he did extensive research and kept us informed of his strategy to win. With months of preparation we went to trial in October 2016. Like my previous encounter in court a year earlier I observed multiple weak defense attorneys lose to the tough prosecutors leading to multiple convictions. At the end of the day, the last case to be heard, my son was called to trial. I started to get concerned as the prosecutor started to build a case against my son. However, as every prosecuting witness was brought forward, Mr. Mayoras processed every word that was stated exploiting every weakness and inconsistency in their testimony through cross-examination. He even challenged the relevance of certain witnesses who as a result did not even get to testify. Then it was the time for the defense to take action. Short, straight, and to the point he built a bullet-proof defense with only two witnesses and the defendant. Sharp, smart, and one step ahead of the game, he even recalled one of the prosecuting witnesses and manipulated the individual to testify in favor of my son. The strength in the prosecutor’s case had dwindled by the end of the trial through the skill and mental agility of Mr. Mayoras. The judge dismissed both charges and my son was a free man with a life ahead of him. Think about it, Mr. Mayoras won this case despite having never entered the Norfolk courthouse previous to this. I challenge you not just to take my word for it. You have one chance to win or lose a case. Call him and find out when he is next in court. It will cost you nothing to see him first hand in action as he handles his case. I promise that you will be absolutely impressed. You don’t have to choose him, but please make your selection only after seeing him handle a case in court. I am in the military and am due to rotate to Florida next year. My only regret is that Mr. Mayoras is not bar certified in Florida! Good luck to you. Choose your defense attorney wisely.

John helped my family through a very tough time. He was knowledgeable and honest with us from the very beginning. Even the initial consultation gave me a positive feeling. John was great in communicating with us and always answered every question that we had. Seeing him in court was inspiring; he gets the job done! Highly recommend!

He even challenged the relevance of certain witnesses who as a result did not even get to testify. Then it was the time for the defense to take action. Short, straight, and to the point he built a bullet-proof defense with only two witnesses and the defendant. Sharp, smart, and one step ahead of the game, he even recalled one of the prosecuting witnesses and manipulated the individual to testify in favor of my son. The strength in the prosecutor’s case had dwindled by the end of the trial through the skill and mental agility of Mr. Mayoras. The judge dismissed both charges and my son was a free man with a life ahead of him. Think about it, Mr. Mayoras won this case despite having never entered the Norfolk courthouse previous to this. I challenge you not just to take my word for it. You have one chance to win or lose a case. Call him and find out when he is next in court. It will cost you nothing to see him first hand in action as he handles his case. I promise that you will be absolutely impressed. You don’t have to choose him, but please make your selection only after seeing him handle a case in court. I am in the military and am due to rotate to Florida next year. My only regret is that Mr. Mayoras is not bar certified in Florida! Good luck to you. Choose your defense attorney wisely.

John helped my family through a very tough time. He was knowledgeable and honest with us from the very beginning. Even the initial consultation gave me a positive feeling. John was great in communicating with us and always answered every question that we had. Seeing him in court was inspiring; he gets the job done! Highly recommend!

I was dead and buried! John pulled me out of ash's to give me my life back, You can do no better than John Mayoras. Other lawyer talk a great game but he plays it, i had lawyers that wanted $10,000 and $350 just for an initial consultation, John did it for much less and NO consultation Highly Highly Recommended

Hands down I would recomend John Mayoras to a friend/family memember any day! Ive had my fair share of experiences with attorneys in the Stafford Virgina region, to say the least, John ran cicrcles around many of the lawyers ive met. He handled our case very responsibley and professionally. He is knowledgeable and has great experience in his field. After having John Moyoras as our attorney I would not consider using anyone else! His compassion was extraodniary!

My grandson had been charged with some felonies recently.. He was supposed to be represented by the public defender, but they excused themselves. Then he was supposed to be represented by another court appointed attorney. At the last minute he excused himself. I believe God had his hand in all of this because the next attorney appointed was John Mayoras. What a blessing ! John gave my grandson great representation. He reviewed all the facts and went over everthing before the trial. He patiently explained the consequences of my grandson charges to me and my grandson. When young people are over the age of 21 most lawyers don't care to speak with anyone else except the client. People ignore the family member that is distraught because of everything that is happening to a person they care very much about. John took the time to speak with me. For that I am forever grateful. I can't begin to tell you how much this was appreciated. John is a great representative for all lawyers. I highly reccomend John to anyone that needs a really good lawyer. He may have been court appointed , but we couldn't have gotten better representation if we had hired a lawyer. Thank You John Mayoras, God Bless You

Mr. Mayoras handled my case very professionally and was able to secure the best outcome. He prepared me with a variety of possible scenarios going into court. He is familiar with the judges and attorneys in Spotsylvania. I was never caught off guard during the proceedings; which was comforting.

We had a great experience with John defending our teenage daughter’s speeding charge. I spoke with several attorneys I had found on the Internet and felt the most comfortable with John’s straightforward, honest, matter-of-fact approach. In addition, I found his rates to be very reasonable. Throughout the process John was extremely responsive and helpful – replying to emails promptly, even late at night. If more attorneys were like John there would be no place for lawyers jokes. I highly recommend him and he will be my first call should I need assistance in the future. As for the speeding ticket: DISMISSED.

Mr. Mayoras is a rock solid attorney. If you want representation in a Northern Virginia criminal case, trust me, you will have no regrets if you select Mr. Mayoras as your Defense Attorney. In August 2015, my daughter was a victim of assault and pressed charges against her aggressor. The aggressor counter-charged my daughter. Mr. Mayoras was selected as her public defender. Prior to the hearing, Mr. Mayoras engaged with the prosecutor and maintained contact with us. On the day of the trial I observed other cases prior to ours being heard, I saw weak defense attorneys lose repeatedly to the tough prosecutor. As my daughter was called forward I started to worry. Mr. Mayoras was a rock solid attorney as he cross-examined the defendant who counter-charged my daughter capitalizing on every weakness and inconsistency. He not only had my daughter’s counter-charge dismissed but his piercing argument ensured that the aggressor received a conviction. I was absolutely impressed. A year later my son broke up with his girlfriend. In her anger, in March 2016, she chose to file charges of strangulation, assault, and battery saying that my son tried to kill her. A felony warrant was issued for the strangulation and a misdemeanor warrant was issued for the assault and battery. At that moment our lives changed forever. If convicted, my son, a United States Marine, was facing a five-year prison sentence and discharge from the military with no hope of ever finding decent employment in the United States. Life as he knew it would be over for the rest of his life. I called Mr. Mayoras to take the case even though I knew he only practiced in Northern Virginia. Although he warned me that he had no insight into the Norfolk courts, based on my previous observations, I believed that if anyone could save my son, it would be Mr. Mayoras. Upon taking the case, he did extensive research and kept us informed of his strategy to win. With months of preparation we went to trial in October 2016. Like my previous encounter in court a year earlier I observed multiple weak defense attorneys lose to the tough prosecutors leading to multiple convictions. At the end of the day, the last case to be heard, my son was called to trial. I started to get concerned as the prosecutor started to build a case against my son. However, as every prosecuting witness was brought forward, Mr. Mayoras processed every word that was stated exploiting every weakness and inconsistency in their testimony through cross-examination. He even challenged the relevance of certain witnesses who as a result did not even get to testify. Then it was the time for the defense to take action.
