DAVID ROUZZO

David has been a dedicated practitioner of the law since 2001, building a career characterized by extensive trial experience and a deep understanding of the judicial process. Prior to his relocation to Virginia, David’s professional background included successful tenures in private practice and as a public defender. In these roles, he served as lead counsel for hundreds of clients, providing a robust defense against everything from traffic infractions to the most serious felony indictments.

His career reached a milestone during his time with the Fredericksburg Public Defender Office. As a Senior Assistant Public Defender and Senior Trial Attorney, David was a mainstay in the courtrooms of Stafford, Spotsylvania, and Fredericksburg, representing individuals charged with high-level felony crimes.

David’s courtroom pedigree is distinguished by his extensive work before juries. He has successfully litigated numerous felony cases to verdict, most notably including eight murder trials and two death penalty cases. This proven track record in high-stakes litigation is bolstered by his ability to secure acquittals in high-profile prosecutions carrying sentences of decades or life in prison. He is known among peers and adversaries alike for his commanding presence during proceedings, his ability to conduct powerful cross-examinations, and a thorough command of evidentiary rules—particularly when challenging complex forensic and scientific evidence.

Now a vital member of Fairfax Divorce Lawyers, David handles a comprehensive range of felony and misdemeanor cases with the same precision that defined his early career. When he is away from the courtroom, David enjoys the balance of cooking, music, and the tranquility of the outdoors, which he shares with his wife and their two dogs.
