Vanessa Hicks handles the Virginia criminal defense practice in southwest Virginia for Price Benowitz LLP. Ms. Hick's extensive experience has built-up her reputation as an aggressive and effective Virginia criminal lawyer.

Vanessa Hicks began her career as an Assistant Public Defender in Lynchburg, VA. Most recently, she was the Chief Public Defender in Arlington, VA. During her time as a Virginia criminal attorney, Ms. Hicks has worked on both adult and juvenile cases and argued Virginia criminal cases successfully in front of judges and juries.

Ms. Hicks graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English. In 1989 she received her Juris Doctorate from Washington and Lee School of Law where she was a member of the Mock Trial Team and the Alderson Women's Prison Legal Clinic. She is currently a member of the Virginia Bar Association and the Virginia Criminal Justice Conference.

The majority of Vanessa Hicks' work comes in Southern Virginia, which makes her a unique addition to the firm because most of our other attorneys focus on the Northern Virginia area. While the laws are the same throughout the state, there are many things that make practicing in Southern Virginia different than practicing in the Northern part of the state. Her knowledge of local judges and prosecutors allow her to aggressively pursue the best possible result in each case that she handles. The benefit of her local experience is felt in every case she tries, and she prides herself on working tirelessly to make sure that all of her clients are represented to the best of her ability.
