Top best E Lawyers in Fairfax | 887 available

I try to help clients make the best use of an initial interview as possible by encouraging them to bring as much financial information with them to the initial interview as they can.  I do this so that I can help the client understand the range of  results likely if their case is tried (assuming the information they provide is accurate) and upon what the range depends.. Knowing the likely result of a trial  helps the client and I decide together on the strategy which is most likely to be both effective and cost effective, set a reasonable budget for the case and helps the client recognize a good settlement offer should one be made.

I take great pride in providing the very best representation services that I can to my clients by drawing on the skills that I have developed through my education, previous employment and being a lawyer for the last 8 years.  I see a new client's case as an opportunity to help that person in a time of need whether it involves defending a alleged crime or drafting a last will and testament.. When I have free time, I enjoy playing golf and being outdoors.

I represent individuals in criminal defense and traffic law cases and investigations in federal and state courts throughout Northern Virginia, as well as personal injury cases.  I treat every case with the dedication and zeal that it deserves, and I am always committed to obtaining the best possible resolution for each of my clients.. As a long-time resident of Fairfax County, I graduated from George Mason University, summa cum laude, with a bachelor's degree in Administration of Justice.  I then earned a Juris Doctorate from George Mason University School of Law, summa cum laude, earning the distinction of being the class valedictorian.  During law school, I gained practical experience in criminal law through internships at the Fairfax County Public Defender's Office, the Federal Public Defender's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, and the Commonwealth Attorney's Office for Arlington County, where I handled misdemeanor trials.. After graduating from law school, I gained valuable experience at a large, DC-based law firm advising insurance companies and representing them in complex litigation.  I then joined the law firm Greenspun Shapiro PC, where I gained extensive experience representing individuals in matters ranging from traffic cases and civil litigation to serious criminal cases and investigations in state and federal courts throughout Northern Virginia.. My practice at Elsayed Law is focused on criminal and traffic defense, as well as personal injury cases. We handle cases ranging from simple misdemeanors and infractions up to serious cases, such as robberies and murders.

I live in Fairfax County with my wife and two daughters.  I am originally from St. Louis, where I was born and raised.  After attending Duke University, I moved to the DC area. I attended Georgetown Law School and then moved to Northern Virginia in 2009.  I am a big sports fan - baseball, football, and college basketball.

I have more than 20 years of experience in personal injury, workers' compensation and general litigation. With this experience, my dedicated staff and I have the experience needed to provide quality legal services to you and your family.. I have recovered millions of dollars for hundreds of injured people in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. In addition, I have helped hundreds of clients with their traffic and/or criminal matters.. I have personally handled cases in the trial courts of Virginia, Maryland and Washington,D.C. I have opinions that have been published in the appellate courts of Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.. I have personally lectured on workers' compensation issues for the National Business Institute, and local chiropractic associations. I have spoken at events and seminars on behalf of local medical care providers and medical related service industries.. I am a member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association; Maryland Workers' Compensation Bar, Fairfax County Bar Association, Virginia State Bar Association; Maryland Sate Bar Association, and the District of Columbia Bar Association. I have provided expert legal advice at the request of the National Football League Players Association and Professional Hockey Players Association.. I have provided valuable legal research and participated in the production of manuals and articles for professional groups such as the National Business Institute; National Football League Players Association and Professional Hockey Players Association.

I have formed hundreds, if not thousands, of new businesses. I have watched mom and pop businesses achieve family goals, and have seen small businesses with big dreams implement legal and business solutions to become major players in their industries.. My positive client interaction with business owners who are trying to achieve their goals is a strong motivator in my decision to focus his practice on business and commercial law. I regularly work with optimistic, upbeat, and aggressive entrepreneurs and business owners to create short and long-term business strategies and legal needs. I have the experience to provide the practical legal solutions to complicated business situations. Time and again I have found that the pure legal analysis and legal courses of action may not be the best solution for businesses and business owners. Rather, seeking win-win solutions, which involve a balancing of the legal positions against the monetary and non-monetary costs leads to alternative, non-litigation solutions.. Business owners usually want cost effective solutions, not legal positions that lead to polarization and the loss of business deals and transactions. A transaction should never fall through because of attorneys advocating positions that create adversity. Rather, a lawyer should always seek solutions that will allow transactions to be consummated and problems to be resolved.. When dealing with employees and employment situations, I have found that employers want solutions that will minimize or remove the threat of litigation. With the cost of defending major employment suits averaging over $125,000, most business have to find solutions to employment problems that protect the business interests while bringing closure to the problems.. Admitted to the Virginia bar in 1978 and to the District of Columbia bar in 1994, I bring considerable experience to the practice of business and commercial law in Northern Virginia.

I have been in the legal profession since I graduated from college in 1994.  I started my career as a paralegal.  During my time as a paralegal, I worked in a plaintiff's personal injury firm in Connecticut while my husband (and current law partner) was in law school, and later as a senior litigation paralegal at a large firm in Washington, D.C.  I attended law school at night and worked during the day.. Outside of the office I keep busy with my young children-- two sons and daughter--all of whom have crazy schedules.  I also enjoy movies, reading and travel.

I have a passion for protecting those injured by the reckless, carelss, or intentional acts of others.. After received my B.A. in history from George Washington University, I went to law school to become a personal injury attorney.  In law school, I was a judicial intern in Arlington County Circuit Court and Fairfax County Circuit Court.  I also worked as a summer associate at Blankingship & Keith.. In 2021, I earned my law degree from George Mason Antonin Scalia Law School.. Prior to joining Blankingship & Keith as an associate, I served as a law clerk for the Honorable Daniel E. Ortiz on the Court of Appeals of Virgina.

I enjoy working with clients to find solutions to their unique circumstances and assist them as they move through a different phases of life. I see my most important role as that of problem solver. Each case is different and calls for its own approach. I discuss a variety of options with each client to help them find the best approach to resolve their case.. I am originally from Upstate New York, where I attended Colgate University.  I moved to DC to attend The George Washington University Law School and have been here ever since.  During law school, I was a regulatory intern and also worked on large-scale litigation projects.  Since graduating from law school and taking the bar, I have focused on working with families and clients on a one-on-one basis.. I am very active in local bar associations, including the Virginia Women Attorneys Association, Collaborative Professionals of Northern Virginia, and the Fairfax Bar Association. Establishing relationships with my peers and judges enables me to do the best work for my clients.

I enjoy using my 40+ years of experience as an attorney to provide solutions-focused legal services in primarily family law/domestic relations situations, but also in commercial real estate and related business fields. I counsel and advocate for people who seek legal assistance with issues of or relating to divorces, separation agreements, child custody and visitation, equitable distribution, and support (spousal and child, as needed), as well as, on a happier note, pre-nuptial agreements. My practice includes litigation, though I strive to employ other methods of problem-solving for my clients that avoid or minimize litigation, including especially the process of Collaborative Divorce.

I enjoy and appreciate the privilege to serve through the practice of law.  The weight of my responsibility as attorney and counsellor is never lost.  This is reflected in my approach to each case/client, my work ethic and results.  I founded Easley Law Firm with a committment to provide high-end professional service with the utmost integrity.  Experience, Commitment and Effectiveness are  the cornerstones of my practice.  Let's schedule a consultation.  I am confident you will find I am quite good at what I do.

I concentrate my practice on products liability, commerical trucking, brain injuries and sexual assualt cases. I take few cases, typically when the behavior of the defendant is very bad and the injuries are dire. My background is in BigLaw and I work my cases in the same manner as national law firms.. I have a strong connection to the community and encourage all lawyers to undertake pro bono matters for clients unable to afford counsel.

I believe in taking a client-centered approach to the practice of law. I want to make sure that you as a client are seen and heard, and that your concerns are fully addressed every time we connect. I also believe in taking a measured and efficient approach to advocacy, one that maximizes your resources and time..

I am admitted to the Virginia State Bar, Maryland State Bar, D.C. Bar., as well as the United States District Courts for the District of Maryland, Eastern District of Virginia and the District of the District of Columbia.

I am the founder of the Law Firm of Gross, Romanick, Dean & DeSimone, P.C., located in the City of Fairfax, Virginia. Over the course of my career, I have represented businesses and individuals in thousands of cases involving business contracts, civil litigation, landlord/tenant matters, criminal defense, personal injury and debt collections. My extensive courtroom experience allows me to provide practical and tested legal solutions to my clients on a wide range of legal matters, including business transactions, debt collection and landlord/tenant disputes. I have the highest ethical rating published by Martindale Hubbell, and my peers have rated me a 5 out of 5. I represent my clients in an honest, competent and aggressive manner, and I hold our law firm to the same standard.

I am passionate about seeking justice for my clients. Clients often come to me in the worst moments of their lives, after being injured through no fault of their own or an encounter with law enforcement. It’s my goal to guide them through the legal process with a compassionate and relatable approach, while zealously protecting their interests. I work with my clients to strategize and achieve the best possible outcomes.. I was inspired to attend law school while working as a television investigative reporter. The opportunity to report on several high-profile cases, including an appearance on the 'Dan Abrams Report', sparked my interest in the study of law. My communications background gives me the ability to advocate effectively in the courtroom. My journalistic curiosity leads me to think outside-the-box.. My versatile trial experience includes more than 100 bench and jury trials in criminal and civil cases.

I look forward to speaking with you.

I am originally from the West Coast where I obtained both a B.S. and a B. A. degree from San Diego State University in 1986.  After spending a month traveling Europe with an Eurail Pass and a Youth Hostel Card, I decided to attend law school. I attended California Western School of Law, graduating in 1991.. I spent the first seven years of my legal career in San Diego, California, where I represented more than 400 clients in a wide range of legal matters, including personal injury, medical malpractice, contract disputes and wrongful banking practices.. In 1999, I relocated to Northern Virginia and decided I wanted to focus on Family Law. My parents went through an extremely contenscious divorce when I was a teenager and my brother and I were put in the middle of a custody battle. I know from experience how such a case affects children and the affect of parental alienation.  Since 1999, I have focused my practice on family law issues of divorce, custody and visitation, child support, spousal support (alimony) and equitable distribution of property.. October 1, 2016, I officially opened my own practice, The Law Office of Alanna Williams, PLLC, where my entire focus is on family law solutions, not creating more problems for families.

I am an employment and labor law attorney, representing companies, employees and executives in litigation and personnel matters. I have a general background in education, technology, construction, and government contracts matters.. A large part of my litigation practice pertains to post-employment litigation, both raising and defending claims involving fraud, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, leaked confidential information, defamation, and civil conspiracy. I also regularly negotiate agreements outside of the courtroom, including agreements pertaining to terminations, severance pay and commercial leases.. I regularly advise and train companies on best practices in the workplace, on topics such as workplace investigations, sexual harassment, the joint employer doctrine, terminations, ADA accommodations, and job applications.. I also have experience advising and litigating labor union matters, including employee termination grievances in arbitration, and negotiating collective bargaining agreements.

I am an avid golfer and basketball player.  I enjoy coaching and mentoring kids and helping people in general.  Star Wars, super-hero shows, and post-apocalyptic shows and movies are my thing (Walking Dead!). Practicing law is a great honor.

I am an attorney primarily focused on helping families in Virginia navigate the world of estate planning and elder law. With over 20 years of legal experience, I have been honored to represent individuals, businesses, and our wonderful community in a wide range of legal matters. Most recently, I had the privilege of serving as the Chief Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney for Fairfax County, a jurisdiction of around 1.2 million people. I have been named to SuperLawyers and I am Peer Review Rated as AV® Preeminent™ by Martindale-Hubbell.. Having spent years representing clients in litigation, I understand the most valuable service a lawyer can provide is keeping their clients out of court. The court process is long, it is extremely expensive, and it is very stressful for clients. Moreover, regardless of an attorney’s talent, court outcomes are highly unpredictable given that human beings are involved in the decision-making process.. In some legal areas, such as criminal law, the case almost always starts with a court filing so avoiding court is not possible. However, with estate planning, avoiding court is entirely possible with proactive planning. Moreover, the cost savings and other benefits of avoiding court and probate are substantial – greatly exceeding the expense of planning.. As a parent myself, I understand the concerns that many people with young children share. Questions like, "What will the court do with my children if something happens to me today?" or "What other decisions will the court make for my family if I don't plan ahead?" or “What will happen to me and my affairs if I become incapacitated in an auto accident or have a medical emergency?” weigh heavily on the minds of parents. I'm here to help address these concerns and plan accordingly.. I also recognize that for those that are more senior, they may be facing a long-term care crisis. Seniors have a 70% chance of needing long-term care services and support in the final third of their life. However, the average cost of inpatient long-term care is between $10,000 and $12,000 a month, and Medicare does not cover any long-term care costs. Absent proactive planning, seniors needing long-term care are required by Medicaid rules to spend down their entire life savings to below $2,000 before Medicaid will cover any of the monthly cost. While some states exempt certain retirement assets from this spend down, Virginia does not.. While we will talk a lot about your home, and possibly your IRA, or other assets, at its core, estate planning is about retaining control over your future and the future of your loved ones.. Planning is about taking control and making sure that YOU, not a court or a third party, decides what happens if you become incapacitated, or to your children if you pass when they are minors.. It’s about making sure that the assets you have are immediately available (rather than tied up in court proceedings), and are not unnecessarily depleted (by court costs, appraisal fees, outside financial guardians, lawyers, etc.), in the event of your incapacity or death, and used fully to support the choices you make as to how you want to be cared for, and how you want your loved ones to be cared for.. On a personal note, I am a father of three children. What they bring to this experience for me is an awareness that planning is something you do for the people you love the most. You may or may not be the one to benefit from the plan we design, but your loved ones surely will. I am guessing that is why you are here. I look forward to talking with you about those people and how we can ensure that they are cared for and protected.

I am a personal injury lawyer in Fairfax, Virginia.  The vast majority of my practice involves representing people who have been hurt in auto accidents against car insurance companies.. At one point, this was a practice area where you could hire just about any lawyer and get the same result.  Now, you need someone who concentrates on auto accidents.  The law is getting more complex every year - especially for people who have health insurance through the government or through large companies.  The last thing that you want to do after settling your auto accident case is get a surprise bill from the Federal government or from a subrogation agent because you hired a generalist to handle your auto accident case.. Additionally, insurance companies now track which attorneys take cases to trial and which lawyers have a volume practice and just settle their client's cases.  When you are looking for a lawyer - be sure to ask them when the last time they tried a case was.. You should hire a lawyer for your auto accident case who enjoys being in the Courtroom.  I am one of those lawyers.  I had the privelege of being selected as one of the Top 10 Attorneys in Virginia Under Age 40 by the National Academy of Personal Injury Attorneys and as one of the top 40 trial lawyers in Virginia under 40.  I have also been listed as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers Magazine - an award that recognizes the top 2.5% of attorney's under the age of 40..
