Forensic Psychology

Chris studied forensic psychology at the George Washington University School of Forensic Science in 2001, and has handled many serious felony cases where mental health issues played a significant role in the defense. Quite often, sex offenses, internet sex crimes, domestic violence, and other violent crimes occur because of long-standing, and sometimes undiagnosed, mental health problems. Even relatively well understood issues like depression can be the catalyst for uncharacteristic behavior that winds up threatening a person’s freedom. In all such cases, with the consent of the client, Chris works with one of a group of credible mental health experts to explore and be able to explain why these conditions are often substantially mitigating factors.

The Law Offices of Christopher Leibig represents individuals charged with or being investigated for serious crimes in State and Federal court throughout Virginia and in Washington DC.

Located at 114 North Alfred Street in Old Town Alexandria, the firm works in close conjunction with the Law Offices of Joni C. Robin.

The philosophy of the firm is that the best results in criminal cases result from handling a small number of cases at a time. Quite often, the facts of a case as initially described in court represent only a fraction of what happened and why, and extensive investigation is required to understand and present the entire picture. By working with investigators, psychological experts, and the clients along with their families, the Law Office of Christopher Leibig seeks to bring forward all of the information which can bear positively on a client’s situation.

Chris Leibig and Heidi Meinzer serve as the Northern Virginia defense attorneys for police officer’s legal defense fund, PORAC.
