Excellent Attorney

I wanted a hands-off experience where I was dealing with as little as possible and my time was impacted as minimally as possible. I also needed to make sure that the outcome from my case did not affect my work or life, as I was facing potential incarceration and loss of license, which would be very d...etrimental to my job. Andrew achieved a result better than I even expected. I had a difficult case, primarily due to my own actions, and I was expecting far worse. Andrew was able to achieve everything I wanted, including me not having to do much to get the result that he obtained. I can't thank him enough. I'll go back to him any time I have any other criminal or traffic matters to deal with.

Dodging the "Silver Bullet"

Mr. Andrew Lindsey stood by me during one of the hardest moments of my life. His calm guidance, compassion, and expertise gave me strength when I felt overwhelmed. When I didn't believe in myself, he believed in me, and got my case dismissed—restoring my rights and my peace of mind. I’m deeply gratef...ul for him and recommend him wholeheartedly.

Best defense lawyer I have ever hired with out a single doubt.

Andrew Lindsey has represented me through the toughest case I have ever had in my life. By far, he has been the best defense attorney I have ever hired. Andrew was very knowledgeable on the circumstances of my case and confident on the case-law applicable to my case. If I were to hire any other lawye...r like I had hired in the past. I would have most likely taken a plea deal. Convicting me of lesser crime at best. With Andrew Lindsey, my case was completely dismissed entirely. Being charged with a DWI was no easy task to get dismissed. Andrew knew exactly how to handle my case through a years long, drawn-out legal process. He answered all my questions when they arose. Andrew even allowed me to park at his office parking near the court house when I had court. Andrew also would explain to me what my options were forthrightly and gave soild advice on what I should do. Even after the first nolle prosequi, Andrew kept in touch with me on his work cellphone for when the prosecutors would be bringing back the charge. I was always mentally preparing for the worst-case scenario. Which caused a lot of anxiety. Hiring Andrew to represent me for both instances definitely calmed down my anxiety throughout the whole ordeal. I have hired other lawyers in the past who didn't really seem to care much or even do much. Especially since they never went to trial for me. Andrew Lindsey was truly the first defense attorney who ever went to trial for me. I have never been so impressed by any defense attorney like Andrew. Indubitably, by his readiness to go to trial at a moments notice when there was essentially no plea deal on the table during the trail date. He had multiple defense strategies ready. However, he didn't even need to present or argue them since his knowledge of case law essentially finished the trial hearing within a few minutes. Again, I was astounded with Andrew's trial defense. The prosecution wanted to nolle prosequi once more. Andrew made sure they didn't get the chance to reopen the case within the next few days. Since it still had not reached the statue of limitations. Andrew pushed to get it entirely dismissed. The judge agreed with Andrew. The prosecutors did not have good cause to nolle prosequi. The judge dismissed the case. What can I say? That was the absolute best result I could have prayed for. Andrew Lindsey has truly been a blessing in my life. Andrew is by far unquestionably the best defense lawyer I have ever hired. If I were to hire a defense attorney for any other instance, I would hire Andrew Lindsey 10/10 times. Words can't express how grateful I am to Andrew for the positive impact he's had on my life. Hopefully, he can do the same for you.

Awesome Criminal Defense Attorney

I hired Andrew to represent me for a felony charge I caught in Arlington county. Mr. Andrew is well connected in the courts, knowledgeable about criminal defense & I was extremely pleased with the outcome. He’s very straightforward & doesn’t play around. Was always available via text or phone for con...cerns & that was very important for me. If you’re in trouble in Arlington County, please call Andrew! He won’t disappoint.

Skilled, Strategic, and Effective Defense Attorney

I hired Andrew Lindsey to defend me against two Class 1 Misdemeanor charges in Fairfax County General District Court — Assault & Battery and Brandishing a Firearm. Both charges carried the very real risk of jail time, heavy fines, probation, and a permanent violent criminal record, so I needed an att...orney I could trust to fight hard for me. Andrew delivered an outstanding result. At trial, he got the Brandishing charge dismissed mid-trial on a motion to strike, without even having to put on defense evidence. He then took the Assault & Battery charge all the way through closing arguments, and the judge acquitted me of that charge as well. I walked out completely not guilty on both counts and owing nothing to the court. Andrew was thoroughly prepared, strategic in the courtroom, and clearly knew how to present my side of the story in a credible and convincing way. He kept me informed throughout the entire process, explained my options clearly, and even walked me through future steps like expungement. If you are facing serious criminal charges in Northern Virginia, Andrew Lindsey is the attorney you want in your corner. — Edwin C.

"I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Lindsey on a very complex criminal case several years ago, and after that experience as well as observing his work on several other cases, I can endorse this lawyer without hesitation. He possesses all the attributes of an outstanding criminal defense lawyer. He is zealous and confident without being arrogant. He is extremely hard working and knowledgeable about the law. He is patient and honest with his clients. Most of all he is not afraid to fight to get the best possible outcome in each case. If a family member or friend of mine got in trouble and told me they had hired Andrew to represent them, I would rest easy knowing they were in good hands."

"I wholeheartedly endorse Andrew Lindsey as a Virginia criminal defense practitioner. Having worked alongside Andrew on a daily basis both inside and outside of court, I can say that he is one of the most prepared and thoughtful defense attorneys I have encountered so far. Andrew has a diverse amount of defense experience throughout Virginia, and it really shows in terms of his approaches, his predictions, and his results across differing jurisdictions. It also shows in his willingness to accept all kinds of cases, sometimes at significant discounts, for client's who are truly in need of a dedicated defense despite their financial situations. I myself have benefitted from his input and advice on multiple occasions, and he is a great attorney to collaborate with if you are looking for constructive perspective. Many of Andrew's clients realize they are lucky to have him, and I certainly anticipate referring others to him who need a novel advocate in their corner."
