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.

Elizabeth has been litigating since law school, where she won her first trial as a student with the Georgetown University Juvenile Justice Clinic, defending juveniles in delinquency matters before the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.  After graduation and passing the bar, she became an Assistant Public Defender for the City of Fredericksburg and the Counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, and King George.  After gaining significant trial experience there, she entered private practice in 2004.  She had the opportunity to participate in the successful appeal of Paiz v. Commonwealth of Virginia, published at 54 Va. App. 688 (2009), in the Court of Appeals of Virginia, and Henderson v. Commonwealth, 285 Va. 318 (2013), in the Supreme Court of Virginia.. From 2020-2024, Elizabeth served the citizens of Arlington County in the Prosecutor’s office, serving as a Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney. In that role, she revamped the discovery procedure, spearheaded the creation of a Disability Justice Coalition (in conjunction with the ARC of Nova), and represented the office in the two treatment courts, the Behavioral Health Docket and Recovery Court. She was the office liaison to the Department of Human Services, coordinating matters involving mental health and substance use disorder. She prosecuted two murder cases through completion, as well as handled many violent crimes, such as malicious wounding, carjacking, robbery, and burglary. She also prosecuted drug distribution cases and gun possession charges, while also handling entire sentencing dockets, involving probation violation charges as well as sentencing hearings..

Attorney Alene Sprano has been a criminal defense attorney for almost 32years. She started her career as a public defender and has represented defendants charged with capital murder. She specialzes in defending juveniles facing school disciplinary hearings and those charged with misdemeanors and felonies as well as adults charged with sex crimes against minors. Alene has focused exclusively on criminal defense from the beginning of her legal career. After graduating from law school in 1992, she hit the ground running as a trial attorney with the Office of The Public Defender in York, PA. As a new public defender, the courtroom experiences were immediate. She quickly rose through the ranks of the office, and by the end of six years, Alene was responsible for training and supervising other lawyers, as The Deputy Public Defender.. In 1998, Alene moved to Virginia and accepted a position with the Fairfax Office of The Public Defender. As a Senior Assistant, she was again made responsible for training and supervising other lawyers in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court division. As always, Alene took on the toughest cases herself, representing juveniles and adults charged with the most serious crimes of child sex abuse, violent felonies like robbery, carjacking, rape, malicious wounding, and murder; and juvenile defendants certified for trial as adults.. After almost a decade of experience as a public defender, Alene entered private practice in 2001, as a Senior Associate with the Law Office of Patrick Anderson. During this time, her practice expanded to include traffic offenses and low level misdemeanors, in addition to maintaining the most serious cases, including many high profile cases.. After spending a few years away from the courtroom to care for her two youngest children, Alene rejoined the active practice of law as a founding partner of the Sprano Law Firm. She began focusing on the representation of elementary, middle school and high school students facing School Disciplinary Hearings and Expulsion Proceedings in Fairfax, Prince William, and Arlington Counties. While the dedication, zeal and commitment of the young public defender remain, they are now tempered by the wisdom that can only be gained by handling thousands of criminal cases and school proceedings over the years. This combination of ability and experience makes Alene Sprano an excellent choice for anyone looking for top notch legal representation in the criminal and the school disciplinary hearing areas.
