You were arrested by Adam T Zieger, whose cases dismiss at 23.2 percent—significantly lower than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent. This means your arrest is part of a pattern: Zieger's cases are more likely to result in convictions than those handled by most other officers in the state. He ranks in the bottom quarter statewide for dismissal rates, suggesting his cases tend to move forward through the court system rather than get dropped. That said, roughly one in four of his arrests still end in dismissal, so outcomes vary.

Nearly all of Zieger's cases fall under "Other" charges rather than specific categories, which makes it harder to predict how dismissal rates vary by charge type. The one exception is Driving Suspended, where his 11 cases resulted in zero dismissals. Without knowing your specific charge, the statewide comparison is your best reference point: you're statistically more likely to face conviction than if you'd been arrested by the average Virginia officer.
