Firm: Law Offices of Clay & Lofaso, PLLC

I am a life-long resident of Northern Virginia. I was born and raised in Fairfax County. I spent much of my summers with my grandparents on their dairy farm in Gainesville, Virginia. In 1998, I moved to The Town of Haymarket with my husband and our two children.. I have worked in the legal field for the last 22 years. After taking a job as a receptionist with a law firm in Fairfax, Virginia, I decided to devote my life to the field of law. I diligently worked my way up to a managing paralegal. However, I knew I could go farther. While juggling a family of 4 and a full time career, I went back to school. I started at Northern Virginia Community College. Then, I attended George Mason University where I earned a Bachelors degree in the field of Criminology. Finally, I earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore.. It has been a long and hard journey to finally becoming an attorney. I started at the bottom, with nothing more than a high school diploma and a desire to make a difference. I understand hard work, determination and the American dream. Nothing was handed to me, and along the way I learned to take nothing for granted.. -- Jessica R. Clay

You’ve been arrested and chances are you are uncertain what steps you should take or whom you should reach out to for help. This is when you need a skilled criminal defense attorney to make sure your rights are protected. Anyone charged with a crime has a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. This is the recommended course of action until you speak with an attorney. An attorney will need to understand the time line of events leading up to your arrest as well as the overall circumstances of your arrest; however, until you have contacted us, do not speak with law enforcement agencies beyond providing your name.

I feel privileged to help folks who lack the legal experience to help themselves.   I am in my 24th year of practicing law.. Why hire me?   I am very experienced, honest,  have a proven track record of getting good results and not afraid of hard work.. Four incredible people have had an incredible positive impact.    No man is a more humble and honest  than my father (survived Husky football in mid 50's, received his doctorate and touched countless young people as a school Superintendent).   From my mother, I learned perservance (working as an RN,  never once complaining about the long hours).    My brother was the hardest working athlete I ever saw (WSU baseball player) and he has carried this ethic into a very successful coaching/teaching career.   My wife teaches me compassion and drive, I could not have a more caring, hard working wife and mother of my three children.. I have battle-scarred empathy.   I too have struggled with issues life presents.     I understand the stress losing a job; I know the challenge of  financially surviving in this world; I have experienced family dramas;  and I have felt the unclassey sting of small-town politics.. I have alot of heart and perserverence.    Athletics at a young age instilled this in me.   Although I was never the most talented athlete - I worked very hard to make it to the college level.. I have great legal experience.    I worked as  Prosecutor in 1998, have worked as a Public Defender and private practice for over 20 years.   Also, I served well over a decade in the U.S. Army Reserves as a JAG officer, where I helped hundreds of soldiers which included six short overseas tours (including 3 to Korea).. In addition, I had the distinct honor of being an intern for Paul Luvera and John Murphy in the early 90's--I have never seen men so passionate in their search for justice and their unmatched work ethic.    I was very lucky to office share with several wonderful men and attorneys -- Jim Anderson taught me the importance of a strong community presence; Brian Paxton showed how a fine sense of balance and work can be of benefit and John Ward taught me that being a country gentleman lawyer is a very worthwhile endeavor.. I am affordable and set my fees based on what you can afford.. --David Lowell
