You were arrested by J Burleson in Fairfax County, and across 275 cases, this officer's dismissal rate sits at 36 percent—slightly above Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent. That modest difference puts Burleson right around the middle compared to other officers statewide. About 63 percent of cases result in conviction, which tracks with the dismissal numbers. The baseline takeaway: your case follows patterns fairly typical for Fairfax County arrests, though outcomes vary significantly by charge type.
The charges Burleson files most often fall into an "Other" category, representing 231 cases with a 36 percent dismissal rate. If your charge falls there, you're looking at roughly one-in-three cases dismissed. DUI charges tell a different story—only 21 percent get dismissed, suggesting stronger evidence or different prosecution patterns for those offenses. Obstruction charges show the highest dismissal rate at 75 percent, though Burleson has filed very few of those. Where your specific charge lands among these categories matters considerably for what typically happens next.
