About Andy

Serious Help for Serious Concerns.

Virginia criminal defense LawyerAndy Cornick has devoted his career to the practice of criminal law. While a law student at the University of Richmond, he clerked at one of the most prestigious criminal defense law firms in Richmond. Upon graduation Andy was asked to associate with the firm — the first offer extended to a law clerk in over fourteen years. Andy enjoyed success in matters ranging from traffic infractions to serious felonies such as aggravated malicious wounding and attempted murder. Andy represented clients in the courts of over thirty Virginia jurisdictions, as well as in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Feeling the call to public service, Andy accepted a position as prosecutor for the city of Fredericksburg in 2006. During his tenure with the City, Andy prosecuted nearly every imaginable type of case and routinely advised and trained the officers of the Fredericksburg Police Department. Andy also served as a special prosecutor in Hanover, Spotsylvania, and Stafford Counties. In February 2009, Andy was one of approximately 80 prosecutors chosen nationwide by one of the nation’s largest professional organizations for prosecutors to receive special in-depth training in the prosecution of online crimes against children.

As lead counsel Andy has defended people accused of crimes ranging from simple speeding to first degree murder.

Andy is admitted to practice in the state courts of Virginia and in the United States District Courts of the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia, as well as the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Andy serves as Chair of the Sixth District Committee of the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Virginia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.  Andy also serves on the Rappahannock Area ASAP Policy Board, the first defense attorney in recent memory to hold that position. He is a member of the Fredericksburg Area Bar Association, and serves on the By-Laws Committee. Andy is an active supporter of the University of Richmond School of Law, having served on the Board of Directors of the Young Graduates Association.
