J M Walsh

If you were arrested by Officer Walsh in Loudoun County, your case faces steeper odds than typical. His dismissal rate is 24.3 percent—nearly 10 points below Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent—meaning cases he brings are convicted at higher rates. Out of 335 total arrests, he falls in the bottom quarter of officers statewide, suggesting his cases tend to move toward conviction more often than most. This pattern is consistent across his work, not a one-time occurrence.

Your specific outcome depends heavily on what charge you're facing. Officer Walsh's largest category is "Other" charges (299 cases with a 23.1 percent dismissal rate), which likely mirrors his overall pattern. Reckless driving has zero dismissals in his record across 11 cases—a stark contrast to public intoxication at 40 percent dismissals. Grand larceny shows a 50 percent dismissal rate but represents only five cases. If your charge falls into the "Other" category, expect the broader downward trend. If it's reckless driving, the data suggests particularly low dismissal rates.
