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

I hired Jerri Fuller for a very complex criminal case. Jerri met with me in her office which spoke volumes because so many attorneys want to forego this and do everything virtually. She listened and took notes and did her research. She let me know upfront what she could or could not do as in my case I needed a few miracles. However , she was very knowledgeable, responsive, attentive, and dedicated to me as a client. She also was honest. When it was time to go to court she was aggressive and took the time to explain what was happening. She is a very good attorney and will do her very best to get you the best outcome for your situation. Charges dismissed! Hire her you won’t regret it!

Our child was involved in an in-school situation that could have resulted in expulsion, but Ms. Sprano worked with us to ensure that our child got full protection under the law and a fair and equitable hearing by the district office in charge. We could not be happier with the outcome, especially Ms. Sprano's interactions with potentially hostile administrators. Just her presence made them sit up straighter in their seats and ensure that they were adhering to policy. I recommend Ms. Sprano without hesitation for any case that requires an attorney of her calibre.
