I highly recommend as a criminal defense attorney. He was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to my case. From start to finish, he kept me informed and made sure I understood all my options. Thanks to his experience and expertise, I received a much better outcome than I ever expected.

Mr. Petrovich assisted me in a matter adjacent to an FBI investigation. His involvement led to its resolution. Based on this experience, I give him my highest recommendation. When I presented him with my story, he took the time to listen and discuss things very thoroughly, providing insight along the way into my potential legal liability, what interactions I might have with the FBI, and his outlook on my case. Mr. Petrovich's empathy and direct communication demonstrated his consideration for my concerns and circumstances. He continued that pattern of understanding yet direct communication when he communicated with the FBI on my behalf. Involvement with the federal government's investigative bodies feels intimidating, but this attorney's assistance made me feel that I had an honest advocate who knew my story and my interests and would fight for them. Due to Mr. Petrovich's assistance, my situation resolved without further issue.

I have just recently gotten through a tough legal matter and Mr. Petrovich was my attorney. I couldn’t have imagined a letter Attourney to help with my case. He was amazing, compassionate, empathetic and just genuine. He took the time to see me as a person to help represent me in the best way possible. Mr. Petrovich was so Patient and made sure that I understood everything In detail. He is such a blessing to me and my family for all he has done.

The last thing you ever want to do is be sitting in a lawyer's office, especially when it comes to your child. I cannot thank Mark enough for his compassion, his time, his dedication and his guidance. He made a stressful situation, bearable and assuaged the fears my daughter and I had, while also being realistic and prepared us for the worst outcome. Although we had a positive outcome to our situation, that was solely due to Mark and his exceptional capabilities.. Thank you Mark...

When one of our children had legal problems a couple of years ago, we were encouraged to contact Mark Petrovich for help. We are glad that we did. Mr. Petrovich has a lot of experience as an attorney and it shows. He was able to negotiate a less severe penalty for our son when he represented him in court. He has rendered us assistance on other occasions also. We strongly recommend Mr. Petrovich to anyone needing legal advice or representation.

Mr.Petrovich is a very professional and empathetic attorney that truly represents his clients aggressively. I hired him on two separate occasions and was extremely pleased with the outcome. He was hired to defend me against a woman who made false claims about me which Mr. Petrovich got them dismissed.

Mr. Petrovich is the BEST Attorney in Northern VA. He just got my company’s appealing case dismissed on a higher court. In March 2019, my Llc received two summons—1, smoke detector without a battery; 2, mis-use a commercial property. The smoke detector made noise to warn that the battery was out of status so I went to the store to buy new ones; while my friend (visited me) was in the office arranging her belongings for preparing a long trip back home in NH( I accepted that I would give her a ride to bus station when it’s off my biz hours). At the moment, I was out for buying a battery, meanwhile, the inspectors entered in. I didn’t understand why I received summons after a week for those two accusations. I couldn’t help when the battery in the smoker detector was died, so what I could do was to go get a new one immediately and put in which I did. And my friend wasn’t staying overnight at the commercial property, she just temporarily dropped by and asked for a ride from me off office hours. I have a receipt of batteries and my friend has a bus ticket to show the facts. I hired a lawyer from Leesburg VA to represent me my company. I explained to him in oral and written manners. On the First court day, he wasn’t appearing on court (never inform me that he was unable to appear), but he had another so-called lawyer to represent me. That so-called lawyer reviewed my case at the last min and said not to do it. My case was postponed to a month later, the lawyer from Leesburg VA eventually appeared, after talking to prosecutor, then told me that my company should accept these two accusations and pay a fine to save my friend (who was tied to mis use commercial property) out of the trouble. Why?! My friend and I were not mis used the office, why I had to accept it and pay a fine. It’s not justice for me. The lawyer did a favor to authority and prosecutor, not for me.I lost my company’s case under the first lawyer’s representation at lower court. I wrote this long paragraph is to state that not every lawyer would take time or patient or care or fight authorities for their clients’ justices. I still trust the legal system in Fairfax county court and U.S supreme law which has been existing for over two hundred years, and which was the founding fathers of the country fought for. I decided to appeal. I did pretty much time on researching a professional attorney in the area for my appealing, so luckily I found Mr. Petrovich. After the first time—free consultation, I knew that he was the one could help. He was serious of looking into every aspect of my case to seek the facts which can make it justice for my appealing case. My instinct was Just right. Mr. Petrovich made greater efforts for me and won the case on a higher court. The attorney as Mr. Petrovich is precious. Thanks!

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation to Mark for his representation of my son last year around this time. Our family was going through a very dark period in our life, and Mark was the beacon that lighted our way through the darkness. I found him to be sincere, compassionate, and honestly concerned to bring about the best result for my son. He listened attentively to all my concerns. He was there at all our court proceedings well prepared and ahead of time. When the case seemed difficult, he knew where to turn for assistance. I was dealing with this turmoil on my own, and Mark really made me feel like he was looking out for me and my son. He was very understanding of our circumstances, financial and otherwise. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Mark's help.

I was impressed with Mark Petrovich in the way he handled my legal situation and his extensive knowledge in the field, which benefited my legal circumstance to a positive conclusion. Right from the start, Mr. Petrovich was extremely helpful and transparent in providing information throughout every step of the process. All contact and calls were handled professionally and quickly returned that developed trust and confidence in his legal awareness in handling my case. Mr. Petrovich asserts the insight and composure to bring about a satisfying outcome for the client. I highly recommend Mark Petrovich. Also, Debbie was the extension for accommodating my circumstances and she demonstrated the sensitivity to all of my questions and issues. Thank you.

Mr. Petrovich handles high-profile criminal cases, so when I approached him on two separate occasions with moving traffic violations (one which resulted in a collision), you can imagine that I expected him to be uninterested in taking on the case; like asking an All-star player to hit a couple balls at little league practice. Mark has a clear passion to help people out of bad spots, and took the cases. Not only does he work diligently to resolve your legal issues, he also educates you throughout the process and remains flexible. He's quite open to strategy/ investigation suggestions and welcomed my creativity, despite me not being officially qualified to present any direction to an attorney. He helped me feel like a member of the team! His office is cozy, and Debra at the front desk was always warm and respectful. You can tell their level of professionalism and drive to simply take care of business the moment you walk in. Mark is quite busy, so I am amazed with the level of communication he exercises consistently. My first case was a couple years back, reckless driving offense (I was clocked at high speeds on 267). I never met Mark, and asked him to take on this case while I was traveling for work. He asked me what I realistically expected as an outcome, and I obnoxiously replied (without ill intent) "I expect you to make this go away". He laughed a little bit, but took on that challenge. He treated me with ultimate respect throughout the entire process, keeping me informed of his thought process and strategy, maintaining strong communication levels as I was traveling, and reduced it to: Failure to obey highway sign. Recently I was involved in a car collision where I received a citation. This one, unlike the one above, was emotional for me because I committed no wrong and suffered injuries. My emotions clouded my judgment a bit, feeling like a victim I wanted to subpoena this and that to create this massive investigation so I had the strongest case to prove my innocence--I was pissed at the Fairfax County PD! Throughout the entire process Mark was a great listener and helped me maintain my composure. He developed a strategy that I would've never thought of on my own, and it resulted in a nolle prosequi. Having witnessed Mark's magic previously, I had 100% trust in him and his guidance. His strategy proved sound (there's always risk in legal proceedings) and once again I'm out of a jam. In conclusion, Mark Petrovich is truly a professional expert and I keep his business card in my pocket at all times. I hope he and I never work together again, because that'll mean I'm staying out of trouble; in the rare event I do find myself caught between a rock and a hard place Mr. Petrovich will remain on speed dial.

I brought to Mr. Petrovich a very difficult high-profile juvenile case. Before I decided to hire him, I spent days of my time talking to many other attorneys. He is the only one who sets reasonably highest expectation on himself. He focuses on client’s case to satisfy his pursue of professionalism and excellence of service. He is too cool to spend any time bragging about how much and how well he does for clients. I also did intensive reading research regarding the choice of an attorney. As I read across Mr. Petrovich’s website, I felt like that after many cups of water, I was now enjoying a cup of thick soup. The website is full of well-organized, get-to-the-point content and is an indicator of an attorney’s competency, knowledge, experience, thinking/working style and attitude. Mr. Petrovich’s approach is made up of a serial steps filled with strategies and tactics. His perseverance and optimism lighted the whole journey to the best possible destination. He is very considerate for client’s privacy while conducting business. He precisely understands client’s mind and is responsive. He has a lawyer’s personality which is strong, aggressive, intelligent, insistent, sharp, and detail-oriented. All of these characteristics are embedded in his kind heart. I trust Mr. Petrovich .He deserves all the respect for a best lawyer.
