This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Dedicated and creative!

I have had the pleasure of working with and observing Ms. Downing before the Loudoun County courts over the last decade and she has never ceased to amaze me. She is a ferocious worker for her clients, and attacks problems with an amazing flair and creativity. She is extremely approachable, plain sp...eaking and professional to her clients, and is readily on hand to lend a helping hand and guidance. But in court, she is pure warrior. She has an excellent reputation before the Loudoun County judges, and a hard-won respect from prosecutors and opposing counsel.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
