King & Campbell, Pllc focuses on aggressive and innovative defense of individuals accused of felony and misdemeanor offenses in Virginia’s state and federal courts. Joe King, Ryan Campbell, and Megan Thomas are experienced litigating criminal cases at all phases of the criminal process, including the appellate level. Together, they have tried hundreds of criminal matters and defended thousands of criminal cases.

Cases involving the firm include Mr. King's representation of petitioner Briscoe in the U.S. Supreme Court in Briscoe v. Virginia, et al (07-11191) (View). Mr King appeared as accompanying counsel before the U.S. Supreme Court on January 11, 2010 where Professor Richard Friedman of the University of Michigan Law School, of whom Mr. King is a former student, argued on behalf of the petitioners. Briscoe poses the question of whether the government, if it “allows a prosecutor to introduce a certificate of a forensic laboratory analysis” without the analyst’s live testimony may “avoid violating the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment by providing that the accused has a right to call the analyst as his own witness.” Click here for more information on Briscoe v. Virginia.

Further, in February 2009, Mr. Campbell won reversal of a felony DUI conviction in Mwangi v. Commonwealth, 672 S.E.2d 888, 277 Va. 393 (Va. 2009) (View PDF) where he successfully argued that a purported DUI conviction order, which was unendorsed by the trial judge, was insufficient to prove appellant Mwangi was previously convicted of the purported DUI offense.
