Exceptional Work!

An Exceptional Lawyer Who Truly Fights for You I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal representation I received. From our first consultation, David was confident, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my case. Their attention to detail, strategic thinking, and relentless ad...vocacy were the key reasons we won. Throughout the process he kept me informed, answered every question with patience, and made me feel supported every step of the way. In the courtroom, David was sharp, persuasive, and absolutely commanding. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, my case had a successful outcome that exceeded my expectations. If you need someone who will truly go to bat for you, look no further. I highly recommend David without hesitation.

Excellent defense attorney!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding service I received from Dischley Law. I would absolutely and without hesitation recommend David Dischley for any criminal or traffic matter you may unfortunately encounter. I received nine solicitations for representation via mail from attorn...eys. Most in my opinion were poorly written and none impressive or compelling. I called several attorneys practicing in the jurisdiction of my case. Of the ones I was able to speak with, the fifth was David J. Dischley who was impressive and compelling. A couple decades ago I worked on Wall Street. During that time, I met a number of distinguished attorneys that were very well respected within the Manhattan legal community. Speaking with David, there was this indescribable but detectable notion that made him stand out. From that call with Mr. Dischley I was certain I was speaking with a respected and distinguished attorney.. He was sharp, knowledgeable and detail oriented. From that initial consultation to the resolution of my case, David’s expertise and dedication were evident every step of the way. He approached my situation with compassion, understanding and unwavering determination. David's strategic thinking, thorough preparation and courtroom prowess were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for me. While handling my case I saw that David possesses a vast knowledge base and a keen eye for detail, which became evident as he was handling my case. His expertise, compassion and dedication truly set him apart. As with any law firm, the legal support staff is vital to the success of the attorneys and often the primary point of contact for clients. The level of communication and responsiveness from his Director of Operations, Ms. Nicole Purvis was exceptional! Any concerns or questions I had were promptly addressed, providing me with a sense of reassurance. Mr. Dischley working in unison with Ms. Purvis under his leadership made for a seamless client management I have ever witnessed. I am immensely grateful for David's work on my behalf. If you are seeking an exceptional attorney that has passion for the law and compassion for his clients then I urge you to look no further than Dischley Law. Many thanks David Matthew Marcelle Front Royal, VA

Avoided jail against all odds

Mr. Dischley saved me from jail. I was caught driving at almost 100 mph on a 50 mph George Washington Parkway near the CIA headquarters, the Park Police pulled me off the road and arrested me for about an hour. I wasn’t really doing anything stupid: I was on a family trip with my wife and in-laws, an...d I simply sped too much to get rid of a zig-zagging car –actually, I was driving a rental. I had a speeding ticket and, most seriously, a reckless driving. Court hearing was in three months. This was a very difficult case, since this is Virginia, the speed was almost double the limit, and it was a Parkway: federal jurisdiction. So, I went to Alexandria US Courthouse. The law said it could be up to 6 months of jail, and I read everywhere that when speed was above 85 it was almost impossible to avoid going to jail for at least a couple of days or weeks. My family was in a critical situation, and we simply couldn’t bare the idea. We were panicking, we had no one to ask for help or advice. After a bunch of research, I found Mr. Dischley, who during the free consultation made me feel confident about his experience and knowledge, and his own personal story and circumstances gave me a good hunch. Mr. Dischley was extremely professional and comforting. At first, maybe we thought it was going to be easier, that we would make an agreement with the government to drop the reckless charge. He sent me to do 60 hours of community service and both defensive and aggressive driving courses. This is a lot. Unfortunately, the government had changed their policy in the last month (there was a new Attorney General), and on the hearing day there was no agreement, so we decided to go to trial. Three more months. Mr. Dischley suggested taking another 50 hours of community service, and after that, when the trial was approaching, he contacted the prosecutor once again and was able to finally make an agreement. I would plead guilty, and they would refrain from explicitly asking for jail time, leaving it to the court’s criteria. He helped me prepare a good statement and recommended I bring my family (from across the country). On the disposition, the judge said that she was convinced to give me jail time, but after listening to Mr. Dischley’s defense describing the circumstances of the event and my profile, my own statement, and considering the 110 hours of community service, and that the prosecutor did not ask for jail, she decided to only suspend my license for six months, put me on probation, and a fine. I consider this case a win since everything indicated that I would probably be behind bars at this moment. I did something wrong that posed a great risk, but jail was simply out of any proportion, and that was very difficult to prove. Mr. Dischley did an excellent job understanding all the facts, exploring my background and profile, recommending the course of action, and truly caring for me. He replied to all my emails and worked hard in the case, even when he charged me a flat fee at the beginning. I highlight that he has a deep human touch and compassion for the victim, he is honest about the possible outcomes and knows most of the people in the circuit.
