As an out of state driver, when I was charged with speeding while visiting family in Fairfax, I knew that I would need help. Karin was one of several lawyers that I considered retaining. During my free consultation I could tell that she would be the best defense attorney to work with.
Every defense attorney I spoke with highlighted that - beyond the law and the facts of the case - the outcome would also be influenced by the people involved (e.g., the Officer, Prosecutor, Judge, etc.).
Karin is a former prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Virginia - and so her network and deep understanding of the people involved was incredibly helpful to me.
Beyond that, Karin is everything you would expect from your attorney: attentive, responsive, thoughtful, and tough (in a good way).
I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and thankful to Karin for her support. I would absolutely recommend her for your defense needs!

In mid-April, we contacted Ms. Ovando in hopes of hiring her for a Family Law case. We scheduled a consultation for Friday AM at 9:00. Ms. Ovando did not appear until after 10:00. Still, her excuse was credible, and my husband continued on with the meeting. It ended with her telling him that she would send a retainer notice and contract in the coming days.
Since that time, both of us have called three or four times, and my husband emailed her additional information.
We have not heard anything from her -- that she wants the case or doesn't want the case. Even a courtesy call from her paralegal telling us that she isn't interested in our case would be helpful.
What is one supposed to do?

Ms. Porter was extremely professional, helpful and kind in assisting me with a reckless driving ticket, especially with my total lack of knowledge for the legal proceedings. She explained every step and was more successful than I had hoped in getting the charge reduced. I would absolutely recommend her services, without reservation.

Julia was so helpful in providing me with advise on handling a very strange custody situation that involves immigration. She answered all my questions, and asked a lot also which was awesome. Even thought she had to run back to court I never felt rushed by her. When I need to hire a lawyer I will definitely be hiring Julia.

Ms. Porter handled a case of mine last year. I was very worried about the outcome and wasn't sure how much you could ask of a lawyer. She answered personal questions I had for myself as well as legal ones obviously. She did a great job and I definitely recommended her services to anyone in need of a great attorney.

Nadie quería tomar mi caso pues yo exigía la custodia total de mi hijo de 5 años además de que me suspendieran los pagos de manutención de esposa ya que lo consideraba injusto, la señora Ovando no sólo saco de su tiempo para analizar mis pruebas para ambos casos también me lleno de confianza y fortaleza ya que mi matrimonio estaba irremediablemente destruido y a causa de todo esto me estaba afectando tanto en mi salud como sicológicamente. No solo me trajo la custodia total de mi hijo y hizo que cancelaran la petición de manutención de esposa en corto tiempo también me a ayudado en otros casos y gracias a Dios siempre e salido satisfecho con todos los resultados de sus servicios profesionales. Estoy tan seguro de lo que les estoy diciendo que se la e recomendado a todos los que me an preguntado cómo fue que obtuve la custodia de mi hijo. Ella es lo mejor que nos pudo haber pasado a mi y a mi hijo. Dios la bendiga señora Obando!

I have hired attorneys in the past but ms Ovando is by far the most compassionate and kind of all, and when I sow her by coincidence in the court house I immediately knew that she would be the one to handle my case.
Ms. Ovando is very different - she is accessible, personable, dedicated and really looked after my interest! She is unlike any attorney I have ever met.
She argued in favor of my children and I was awarded a favorable verdict.
I'm very happy to have found her and I go to her on any legal issues I have.
I would HIGHLY recommend Ms Ovando for child custody/child abuse cases if you are looking for an attorney!
Thank you Julia!!

I was up against some pretty steep traffic charges. Mr. Flynn responded promptly to my inquiries for counsel. He then worked diligently to understand the specifics of my case. Once in court, everything ran smoothly and professionally. I will not hesitate to utilize The Flynn Law Firm for any future legal requirements!!

Ms. Ovando took on my wife's and my custody case without hesitation. This case involved FOUR family generations and numerous family members, all of Cambodian descent. To further complicate matters, three local jurisdictions were involved!
In our first session, much to my amazement, Ms. Ovando was able to immediately memorize all of the family names and their standing in the community. She then helped us establish a lengthy timeline of events over the previous years.
As we worked along, it became obvious that Ms. Ovando possessed a complete knowledge of the legal framework of child custody. Every question we asked was answered. In fact, we had to ask so few questions as she gave us virtually everything up front that we needed to know.
Prior to each court hearing, Ms. Ovando prepped us thoroughly. She put us at ease as we were ready for any and all questions, which gave us great confidence. Notably, she had previously dealt with the Arlington County judges in our case.
In the end, all worked out just as she said it would. Due to her efforts, my wife and I are extremely happy. I can say with absolute conviction in my heart that integrity, honesty, knowledge and kindness are amongst Ms. Ovando's greatest attributes. She is an outstanding member of the legal field.
