Westendorf & Khalaf, PLLC | Trial-Focused Criminal Defense in Virginia Beach (h1)
Westendorf & Khalaf, PLLC operates from 1 Columbus Center, Suite 600, in Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462, representing clients throughout Hampton Roads, including Norfolk and Chesapeake, and handling appeals statewide. The firm can be reached at 757-961-3311 or by email at [email protected]. Attorneys Taite Westendorf and Bassel Khalaf bring a combined 36 years of experience to a practice that focuses exclusively on criminal defense, distinguishing itself by publishing actual trial transcripts and case studies rather than relying on generic marketing claims about results.
The firm represents clients across the full spectrum of criminal charges, from murder and manslaughter to sexual offenses, gun charges, drug offenses, robbery, domestic assault, DUI, malicious and unlawful wounding, and assault on a law enforcement officer, as well as probation violations and juvenile matters. That range, paired with an appellate practice, allows Westendorf & Khalaf to carry a case from initial charge through trial and, if necessary, appeal, without handing it off to another firm. The attorneys frame their trial experience as the centerpiece of their practice, arguing that a firm’s demonstrated willingness and ability to take a case in front of a jury shapes how prosecutors approach negotiations from the outset.
By emphasizing documented trial outcomes over broad claims, the firm positions its Hampton Roads practice around a straightforward pitch: attorneys who have actually tried serious felony cases to verdict, not merely negotiated pleas.
