Outstanding Attorney in Northern Virginia

I consulted with Attorney Copeland on numerous occasions regarding my son’s case, in another area of Virginia, and he gave me critical legal advise that proved instrumental which helped get his case resolved satisfactorily. I highly recommend Gregory Copeland for their legal needs in NoVa.

Fantastic consultation. I would definitely retain him if you need counsel.

Although I had a legal matter in Virginia Beach, Gregory Copeland was referred to me by somebody in DC. She spoke so highly of him that I had to reach out although I knew he wasn’t in my area. I have already had four consultations with other attorneys and did not I feel comfortable with letting any o...f them represent me. This was the most thorough and helpful consultation I had received thus far… Not only was he knowledgeable but he was extremely down to earth and spoke to me in layman‘s terms so that I understood exactly what he was saying. He told me from the beginning that he obviously wasn’t going to be able to take the case because he was hours away but he was happy to sit down and go over the case, strategies, and gave me some great direction in guidance on what to do next. I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to speak to him it’s unfortunate he’s not closer to me. Thank you Gregory Copeland for all your help!!

Fellow Attorney

Mr. Copeland worked alongside a team of defense lawyers in the Portsmouth monument case, representing the interests of those facing “injury to monument” charges. He was instrumental in forming the defense strategy for a number of those charged. All that I can say is that if you are looking for a high...-caliber criminal defense attorney, look no further.

The Best by far

Having been in the legal arena for over 30 years, it was an easy choice to choose Mr. Copeland as my personal attorney. He spent hours going through discovery and talking with me about all aspects of my case. He invested his time in making sure that I understood his approach at every stage. Thanks ...to Greg’s expertise, my case was dismissed.

Gregory Copeland - Trustworthy, Diligent, Comforting

I not only recommend attorney Gregory Copeland, but I strongly believe that once you have trusted his services, you will seek to retain him, henceforth. When faced with an unimaginable situation, Mr. Copeland has been a true gift from God. His knowledge of the law and his ability to be honest and upf...ront about the challenges and successes that he foresaw with my case, was comforting. Furthermore, Mr. Copeland’s personality helped me to feel comfortable and at ease; that left me feeling that I was embarking on a journey with a person who would help me as I dealt with the abundant apprehension caused by my situation. Throughout the unexpected journey my family was faced with, Mr. Copeland was always accessible and dependable. Additionally, he was always upfront with us about his thoughts (positive and negative) and he allowed me to express myself freely without interruption - which was extremely helpful to me because I was not always able to express myself clearly, as I had so many thoughts racing through my mind about my case. Mr. Copeland listened to my opinions and suggestions, which granted me the freedom to work through my novice thoughts and allowed me to hear his expertise better. During this trying time, Mr. Copeland was able to tell me what to expect each step of the way and his diligence resulted in a favorable outcome for my family. Mr. Copeland is trustworthy, a feeling that I felt immediately and that was confirmed over and again throughout my process. When faced with a situation that was unexpected and frightening, I thank God that Gregory Copeland worked tirelessly with and for my family. I highly recommend his services; when you do retain him, I believe you will echo my sentiments.
