Yancey Ellis represented me against the U.S. Government (U.S. Marine Corps) when I was facing a General Court Martial, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, military retirement and up to 45 years confinement. Some of the charges were challenged prior to trial by attorney Ellis, and as a result, some were "withdrawn without prejudice" before the trial began. I was a senior enlisted reservist who was mobilized to active duty, Pentagon, who also stood to loose my civilian career in law enforcement job and with the government having an unlimited budget, reach, resources, outside tele-communications companies assistance, banking institution information technology experts, and financial and analytical subject matter experts from the highest level of the Marine Corps who supported their efforts, they were still no rivalry for the argumentative competence of Yancey Ellis. His words to me of "I'm on your side" were an understatement.
Additionally, at the time of sentencing, with the government being so convinced that they had proven their case, which was fraud, making false statements, filing false travel claims, theft of over $100,000, lying under oath, just to name a few, there were a courtroom full of high ranking military officers present to observe the success of the prosecutors and the government. Their assurance went as far as having pre arranged escorts present to transport me immediately to the brig. But that's why I hired Yancey Ellis, and after his powerful closing argument, disputing all the evidence presented by the U.S. government, and raising doubt in the validity of every witness against me, the judge immediately ruled "NOT GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES."
The defense he provided for me validates why he was the U.S. Marine Corps Defense Counsel of the Year....

I was caught in a speed trap, where the speed reduced before going back up again. I told Sean that I wanted to avoid losing points or having my insurance premiums go up. He made me take a specific driving class which took work, but he told me it would pay off and it did. At court he was able to get my 19 over reduced to a no point offense non moving violation, which means that I will keep my good driving record and my insurance will not go up. Also the firm as a whole was very responsive, they answered any questions I had, made it easy for me to sign a waiver of my appearance so I did not even have to come to court and take time off work. Overall a fantastic experience, I would recommend Sean and the firm for any court involvement you have. I was also impressed with all of the firm's pedigrees, all three of them have been involved in criminal law for a long time, and they know what they are doing. Hopefully I do not need to use them again, but if I did, I would not hesitate to have them represent me.

Sean Sherlock was able to get a PO dismissed when the lawyer is the accuser realized there was video that showed I never put a hand on my ex wife. He was very professional and helpful. He made me feel as ease and was easy to talk to. If you are looking for an amazing lawyer look no further you have found him. He will fight for what is right.

After speaking with multiple lawyers, we picked Sean Sherlock. He is extremely personable and put us at ease. He handled the case with class and nailed it, with the charges ultimately dropped. He literally answered his cell phone and talked with me for 30 minutes. Small chat, big chat, court chat. He just makes you so comfortable in the most uncomfortable situation. He was spot on with everything he requested, he knows his stuff. I mean this guy is absolutely the best. You can always contact him he never disappeared, his office always answers. Just an amazing firm and an absolutely talented lawyer. (This was a reckless handling of a firearm case)

Mr. Sherlock was very good at quickly establishing everything that needed to be done prior to my court date. He provided guidance on how and where to get each item done and helped me work around limitations specific to my being in the military and attending school. Ultimately I walked into the court room extremely well prepared and he was able to use our prior work to get me a great deal! His thorough work, personable skills, and dedication helped resolve my case and lift a great weight off my shoulders. I would recommend his services to anyone in need, especially active duty military!

I consulted Sean on multiple occasions in relation to some pretty serious misdemeanor charges that my son was facing that could have impacted his career. Sean helped us validate the strategy on how to fight the case, walked us through possible outcomes and really put our mind at ease through the process. His deep knowledge of the court systems, prior experience as a prosecutor and above all his genuine concern for his clients are the reasons anyone in a jam should hire him. The Dischley Law Firm was very professional and responsive in dealing with me. Scheduling / appointments etc. was a breeze. Thank You Sean!

A friend recommended Sean after I received a reckless driving in northern va. No prior driving issues but serious enough to have a major impact on my career and personal life. Right away Sean made me feel hopeful and that everything would work out. He is sincere, extremely knowledge and walked me through the entire process. I couldn’t believe the outcome he worked to get me! 5 star service 10/10 class act. Thank you Sean!

I hired Sean Sherlock on the spot though I wasent planning to, due to his genuine nature and the way he conducts himself. Sean treats his clients as more then just business, I fully believe Sean cares about the people he agrees to take on. It never once felt it was about a matter of money. He always took more time then intended to answer my questions and give me the full picture. Though my case didn’t turn out like I was hoping I still believe he is the best lawyer I’ve ever had the pleasure of coming across, I believe he did everything within his power and I could not have asked for a better attorney.
