Testimonial

I hired the Virginia Criminal Attorney law firm for DUI charges. I can attest that it is the best law firm for these cases. Attorneys here understand Virginia DUI law, and my assigned lawyer ensured I received quality adjudication. He managed to have my DUI charge lowered to reckless driving. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone facing DWI or DUI charges in Fairfax. You will not be disappointed, as you may not have to face hefty consequences.

Ben J.

Attorneys at Virginia Criminal Attorney were great for my son’s assault case. The case was tough, but my son’s lawyers were very responsive and professional. In the end, they managed to have the judge lower the severity of the charges, leading to a lenient penalty for my son. I was extremely pleased, and I highly recommend this law firm

Kristen R.

My friend referred me to the Virginia Criminal Attorney because my wife had falsely accused me of domestic abuse. I heard the work of lawyers in this firm was great, and they had a high reputation. True to what I had heard, the lawyers know what they are doing and are known in courthouses across Fairfax and Northern Virginia. They took on my case and responded promptly to my concerns and questions. Thanks to them, the judge dropped the charges against me. I appreciate their assistance. Hopefully, I will not need a lawyer again. However, if I did, I would, without a doubt, appoint them as my counsel.

Derrick M.

Best law firm in Fairfax. The lawyers here have practiced criminal law for decades and know how the local courts work. They managed to solve my case with little hassle. My assigned attorney easily proved my innocence, and I am convinced they can do it for anyone. I realized that the lawyers here are easy to work with and quick to respond, and they made my legal situation a dream. I recommend them to anyone any time.

Rocio D.

I found the Virginia Criminal Attorney law firm online while searching for Fairfax criminal defense law firms. I contacted the law firm and met with one of the lawyers within twenty minutes of making the call. He decided to hire him as my legal counsel. I am glad I made this decision since his approach to my case was highly professional and assisted me in relieving my stress levels. I felt informed throughout the period the case lasted. All the other attorneys at this law firm have the same professionalism. I would undoubtedly recommend this lawyer and the law firm to anybody looking for a criminal defense lawyer in Fairfax
