Caring, compassionate, and professional. Those are just a few words to describe Alene Sprano. Ms. Sprano worked diligently as my son's educational advocate to ensure a positive outcome at his MDR and FCPS School Hearing. She went straight to the point and prepared for the case the very same day she was hired. I recommend her to any parent dealing with any school situation with their child. She made sure I understood my rights as a parent, which is something FCPS schools failed to do. My only regret is not meeting Ms. Sprano sooner!

Willie Meija did a great job for me. He knew the Fairfax County processes, navigated me through the puzzle and was kept me informed all the way through the end. Definitely a winner!

Alene helped my son and I prepare for a hearing with Fairfax County schools during the winter holidays. Despite it being the most inconvenient time of the year she worked diligently to prepare for the hearing. I would absolutely recommend Alene for anything related to school hearings as she is intimately familiar with them. These hearings are very difficult because of the lack of due process. The result of the hard work was a immediate return to school and a path forward for my son. I can't thank her enough.

She challenged the time to prepare all we need for the hearing that we are going to and she was very expert on how to present the situation.

Alene Sprano did a super job of defending me on a reckless driving charge recently in January. While dismissal is virtually unheard of, she basically made the charge disappear and my good driving rate be reinstated almost immediately. She is wonderful and easy to work with, was effective and professional to the enth degree. I highly recommend her!!

Mr.Nadar Hassan is the best lawyer in the Fairfax region. He’s very kind, professional and straight to the point. I highly recommend this lawyer if you are in need to solve problems/issues.

I was extremely fortunate to retain Jessica Richardson as my attorney when I reached out to Patrick N. Anderson & Associates. My over the phone consultation with her left me the impression that she was the confident, capable type of attorney I was looking for. I was not disappointed. Jessica is a highly professional and experienced attorney that knows the legal subject matter, the Northern Virginia Court System and its personnel. She developed a well thought out strategy for my case that provided an end result for me that I felt was the best outcome I could possibly receive. Through the process, I developed a great respect for Jessica's capabilities and her caring interactions with me.

Excellent job by Nader Hasan.He came through with flying colors at time when I needed most. I would 100% recommend. Kevin C

We contracted Ms. Sprano to help our son when he was faced with an FCPS Disciplinary Hearing that we felt constituted overreach by his high school administration. We are grateful to have secured her services as the stakes were very high and the timeline was exceedingly short. Her integrity and professionalism are unparalleled as were the energy and compassion she brought to representing him. She was clear and direct in all her communications, demanding full-investment from us that she matched three-fold. She keenly understands the VDOE and FCPS disciplinary processes and personalities and is savvy in her approach to her interactions with administrators; she also demonstrated thorough knowledge of federal, state, and local laws that she used to support our arguments. Ms. Sprano helped us keep our anger and expectations in check so we could focus on the matters at-hand -- getting our child back in school and their record remediated. She prioritized getting to know our son; as a result, he felt confident going into the hearing because he knew Ms. Sprano was at his side, ready-willing-able to fight for him. We can't believe that we initially hesitated getting representation because the school hearing was not a legal proceeding; the lack of legal protections in the FCPS process made it even more important to have counsel to protect him and preserve future post-secondary opportunities that could be impacted by a suspension on his record.

Mr. Hasan is a great attorney, very knowledgeable and patient. He is passionate about his work. He is very supportive to his client, he listens to you. I recommend Mr. Hasan to everyone! I’m extremely happy with his work.

We sought Alene's assistance when we were facing disciplinary action against our son. Our son's case was very complex given his learning disabilities and medical complications. Alene was very thorough and really knew her stuff. She was able to represent us very well and we would have been lost without her!

Thank you, Jesica Richardson. For all you did on my son case
