If you're on the fence about hiring an attorney go no further. I spent 23 years in Law Enforcement watching subpar attorneys in polyester suits walk into the courtroom and get minimal results for their clients. Unfortunately I had to reach out to Seema but it was the best decision I've ever made, her prices were fair because I did check around. I watched her maneuver around the courtroom with the Commonwealth attorneys and other attorneys she seemed to be well respected and got me the best result I could possibly get. I will urge you if you're looking for an attorney this is not the time to go cheap or on your own. She may give you some tough love but what she says will help you in the end. LGBTQIA+ has true supporter in her.

I haven't had a ticket in almost 20 years. Then I got a reckless driving ticket and was facing 5 points on my license and a substantial fine. Ms. Ruchandani was able to get this reduced from reckless to speeding and NO suspension. I just had to pay a fine. Five stars!!! Thank you!!

Living in a different state and needing a trustworthy lawyer to help clear things up, was a very difficult decision to make. Hiring Andrew was the best decision I made. He was very thorough and detailed. Kept me very well informed throughout my case. Highly recommend him.

I often encounter Shawn in court and he always conducts himself professionally and ethically. He is extremely knowledgeable, and I feel that Shawn really does have the best interest of his clients in mind. He is not an attorney that just wants to settle cases and move on. I often consult with him about legal issues, and he is always able to produce proper legal advice.
Additionally, he has a wonderful relationship with the Judges and that goes a long way in criminal defense.

Mike took my pre-existing case when my previous lawyer had a schedule conflict. Right out the gate, Mike made things extremely clear. I have spent two years fearful and worried about my custody case. In just a few days, Mike laid out the VA Code for custody, clearly explaining how things would go and what the rules are. This brought me such relief, as no one had ever done that. He listened to my fears, reassured me with the law, and worked quickly to get up to speed on my case with just about 2 weeks time to work. He was VERY good in the courtroom, his questioning of my ex husband helped show the court his true colors, and ultimately, he helped me protect my children from added time with their unstable and unreliable parent. Mike is an excellent and clear communicator, respectful and kind, has empathy, but gets the job done and knows how to deal with lying narcissists.

Working with Wilson Law firm has been amazing!
From the time they took my case until the court date we were in constant communication and they offered me guidance and information about what to do to put all the chances on my side!
I will recommend this law firm for your driving cases!
Thank you for Mr. Bartfield for constantly calling and checking on the status of my documentation.
Mr. Wilson is fighting for you with the Prosecutor to make sure your case can be handled fairly.

Mr. Charles J. Nucciarone is an excellent lawyer. He is very intelligent and I was very pleased with his representation at court. He did a great job!. If you follow his advices before the day court you will be content with the results. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have had the fortunate luck to have found Charles Nucciarone of Manassas Law group to help me with an unfair (in my opinion) traffic citation. I was impressed with his organization, promptness, and his phone etiquette. He sent me links that I to access along with clear instructions on what to send and what to do. I had called 2 other firms and there was considerably lower professionalism and surprisingly their costs were considerably more. I do have my own experience with the levels of legal professionalism having occasionally served as an expert witness in malpractice suites. I highly recommend this firm.

Mr. Nucciarone did a fantastic job representing me in my recent court appearance. He provided me with all the options to the case and provided what he believed to be the best option for my potential outcome.
In the end he was able to obtain the best case scenario in reference to my case.
Sincerely
Keith

Tengo el gran privilegio de decir que si en algo no me he equivocado es en elegir a Lili O’ Connell como mi representante en este largo trayecto, Este proceso no fue nada fácil pero gracias a dios y a el mejor bufets de abogados pues puedo decir que el camino no se me tornó tan difícil Gracias a que Lili y su equipo de trabajo SIEMPRE estaban disponibles para mi, incluso los fines de semanas tienen alguien encargado de contestar el teléfono. No tengo palabras para describir el trabajo y la calidad humana de Lili y Nicole son muy profesionales pero sobre todo te hacen sentir partes de su familia. Doy gracias por siempre darme aliento y nunca darme la espalda. Apesar de todo lo que pase vuelvo y repito nunca tuve la mayor preocupación porque se que estaba en las mejores manos.

I'm very happy to share my positive experience with Attorney O’Connell. Her expertise and recommendations was instrumental in successfully reducing my 90 in a 65 reckless driving charge. She has an amazing relationship with Prince William County Courts and navigated the legal complexities with precision, reducing my reckless driving charge down to a speeding infraction. I highly recommend her services for anyone in need of a skilled and reliable legal advocate.

David and Nicole were great and helped ensure that a Virginia reckless driving charge left no trace on my record, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
David was quick to respond to my inquiry, transparent about costs, and provided additional information on the outcome when requested. Nicole handled the admin side of things and was also super helpful and responsive. Overall, I'd recommend Dischley Law and would definitely use their services again (though hope not to, for obvious reasons ;-)).
Thank you!

Being falsely accused and facing down the full power of the state of Virginia is daunting. David Daugherty however, is the best David against Goliath imaginable in this case. David earned my full trust the moment I sat down in his office, and solidified my belief as he saw my case through to a dismissal. Do not hesitate- if you need a lawyer that will fight for you, and will make good on their reputation of being a fighter, he is your man.

I was charged with a class 6 felony and a misdemeanor charge back in October 2018. The same day I was arrested 2 of my family members were arrested and received the same charges as me but we hired different lawyers. The lawyer they hired was only able to get one of the charges dropped while I got both dismissed thanks to David.
He is the man!!

If you find yourself in a bad situation and need help getting out of trouble call David. I was charged with a class 2 felony (malicious wounding) facing 10 years in jail if convicted. He was able to work a deal and get me off with two misdemeanor charges. Which was the best outcome possible for my case. Don’t get offended if scolds you if you do something wrong because I did something stupid when I was on pre trial release. He just looking out for you he always responds and is helping me out again. If your looking for a good lawyer and have no way of beating the charge. He has ways of getting you the best ultimate outcome for your case. I have used the Daughtery law firm on three different occasions, so If your looking for the best law firm in Prince Willam look no farther call David. His prices are reasonable for what he can do for you.

JC Estevez and Nicole Naum are phenomenal attorneys. I was accused of a heinous crime that I did not commit at the age of 16. They were extremely professional throughout the entire process. JC and Nicole always gave me the pros and cons of every situation that arose along the way. They spent numerous hours of time preparing every little detail for trial. After almost 4 years I finally had my chance in front of a jury and these two went to work on my behalf like no other. I was found not guilty and thanks to their expertise and believing in me I can now move on with my life. Thank you JC and Nicole.

Ms. Yi follows up on a case that we believed the courts had closed. Come to find out, the case was still open.
She took time out her day to go to the clerk’s office and confirm the case should have been closed. Without her following up on this, there could have been a warrant issued.
She keeps the lines of communication open. I highly recommend her services!

Mr. Leahy provided the legal help very professionally and ensured that the case was dropped. He was very approachable, knowledgeable and patiently explained the process and options to us. He even helped us with a lot of suggestions and promptly answered all our questions multiple times, even after the case was dismissed.

I am from out of state and Barry came highly recommended by other attorneys in the northeast. Barry helped me with a reckless driving charge. He was most ethical, efficient and effective.

Mr. Zweig successfully handled a recent 2nd degree murder case for our family. He is an astute lawyer who has a professional and keen knowledge of criminal law. His smooth aggressive style inside and outside the courtroom coupled with him truly getting to know and communicate with his client result in respect and a winning combination. To ensure that he was knowledgeable about every detail associated with this complex and perplexing murder case, he spent countless hours gathering information, reading numerous reports from various witnesses, and spent an exorbitant amount time with his client and with our family - keeping us updated on all of the possibilities. His thorough preparedness eliminated surprises from the prosecutor and resulted in a favorable sentencing for my granddaughter. I was very pleased with the outcome; with his presentation and with the way he conducted himself throughout the whole process. From the very beginning, it was easy communicating with him. I found him to be very open and honest. I would definitely recommend his services.

Tim knows his stuff. I had three charges, 2 misdemeanors, 1 felony, I was founf not guilty of one of the misdemeanors and the other two charges were dismissed. He also made it so that after I am able to expunge the arrests, so it is as if the incident never happened. I hope that I never have to use a lawyer for criminal charges again, but if I do I know I will be calling Tim.

I'd like to take a moment to recognize Shawn Stout. He came to me like an Angel and a gift from God. My situation was very complex due to the poor representation from a previous lawyer. When I retained Shawn, he listened, observed and resolved my issues well above my expectations. I was very impressed how he fixed a problem that should have been resolved 5 years ago from my previous lawyer, then later got me cleared and my freedom from the worst nightmare that anyone could ever imagine in Prince William County. Thanks to Shawn, I can now get my self-esteem, my courage and my life back together again. I would highly recommend Shawn Stout to represent anyone, especially someone who is being treated unfairly. He goes above and beyond expectations to make it happen. Very Happy!

Mrs. Thomas Hardy was recommended from another attorney and I'm happy she is taken care of me and my son. She comes from a great school and fights for the child's best interest. I had to deal with a custody issue and child support and it looks like she will represent me until my son is 18.

I found her thru my company Group Legal program and boy am I glad I did. My case is interstate with me living in NC and the NCP in VA. Sadly my NCP is what they call a "runner", which made the case extremely difficult and time consuming. I hired Mrs. Hardy off our first phone call. I was out of sight and had never met her till our first hearing, but she was someone that I trusted off her knowledge and professionalism. I was not disappointed.
My case was about 7 mos long with a lot of motions and issues, but she was diligent and efficient. She didn't waste time or money and was always willing to find the time to talk and explain the legal issues of my case. I was not a good client because I thought I knew what I was doing, I was emotional and at times very hard to deal with. It didn't phase Mrs. Hardy at all. She listened and advised in the best manner for my child. She Won. She is a winner.. She changed my life and the life of my child. She made the difference and that's exactly what you want when you are dealing in Family matters. Its scary to go to court but having an experienced and professional attorney who is compassionate and patient, changes the whole process. Being out of state made it even more difficult and nerve racking and of course the court system is very slow. I was able to put my faith in her, while continuing my life in NC. I did not have the resources to go back and forth to court and I left it all in her capable hands and she lead me to Victory and an extremely excellent outcome. She got justice for my child and that has no price tag.
I plan to use her if my case is appealed. I highly recommend this lawyer.

I cannot recommend The Reed Law Firm highly enough! While Mr. Reed represented me though a detinue case and Mrs. Reed represented me in my divorce, the firm as a whole worked together like a family.
I was so impressed with their expertise and unwavering support and commitment throughout the entire process.
From my first consultation with Mr. Reed, when I was distressed and in need of help, I felt listened to and reassured. I was really vulnerable, not knowing anything about the law and he provided clear, strategic advice specific to my situation. The most encouraging feeling from that initial call was that he was being realistic and upfront about what would lie ahead- legally and financially.
Mr. Reed was like a superhero when it came time to appear in court. He really fought for me. Out of a bad situation, he got me the best possible result.
After that case was over, it was time to move on to my divorce. That is when Mrs. Reed began representing me and I felt guided through every step. With her help (and the rest of the firm), she was always there to answer my questions, explain the next steps, promptly draw up and file the appropriate paperwork, and stand by me at the final hearing. She got the job done even though it took some twists and turns. I not only felt supported, but I also felt empowered—like I had the best of the best by my side.
Shout out to the wonderful paralegals- Candice and Nisa, for being communicative, helpful, and kind.
After being a client of the Reed Law Firm for a year, I feel that they are genuinely good people and incredible at what they do. I am so grateful that they were in my corner through one of the toughest times in my life. I was given their phone number as kind of a random recommendation and it seriously altered my path for the better. I hope this recommendation helps someone who needs it.
Thank you, Reed Law Firm, for making a difference in my life!

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Price during a rule to show cause hearing and a status hearing 90 days later. Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication were instrumental in us winning the case. She was thorough in her preparation, communicated clearly, and ensured I understood each step of the process. Her confidence in the courtroom and deep understanding of the law gave me peace of mind throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend Ms. Price to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy attorney.

We were trying to prepare for our case and David kept putting us off for weeks up until 40 minutes before our case where he briefed the defendant and when the time came, David was prepared, our defendant wasn’t prepared, and upon hindsight and discussion with other defense attorneys, there was so much more that David could have done that he didn’t do and was ill prepared for. Please if you’re considering an attorney, think twice before picking David. At the end of the day it’s you and your case and your lives on the line, not his. He certainly didn’t give it his all in our case and left us high and dry when we scrambled for answers. He told the defendant to plead guilty and we were misled to think that it would be better but it costed him the rest of his life. He didn’t take that into account and it was clear he didn’t care

I got caught doing 137 in the 65 in Fairfax County. I contacted the Wilson Law firm. I was facing one day in jail for every mile over 100 Mr. Wilson took my case. I listen to what he told me. I got the most favorable outcome ever, NO JAIL time. He knows what he’s doing. He’s very professional, he’s knowledgeable and he knows the courts. Thank you Mr. Wilson. You are the best. I’m gonna take you for a ride. I promise to do the speed limit.

Mr Bach helped reassure me at several steps across my case, explaining details and answering questions. Most importantly he negotiated a perfect plea deal with the prosecutor that allowed me to have a positive end to my case. I would also like to commend those who assisted throughout the office from start to finish for their incredible work and support.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
