Best DUI/Criminal Lawyer in Virginia

Like anyone searching for a DUI lawyer, your mailbox is flooded with offers of legal representation immediately following your charge. I interviewed many lawyers for my case and was underwhelmed by most all of them and overwhelmed at their fees; until I contacted Mr. Mark Earley. At consultation, ...he was very straight forward and didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I was legally facing and how much he would charge me. The reality of a DUI is laws are strict in Virginia [and rightfully so] and it is costly. He is a very experienced lawyer who I immediately felt confident in and comfortable with. His fee schedule was clear and did not lend the opportunity to nickel and dime me to death, which many of the other lawyers would have done. My case was somewhat complicated, but with his experience and competency in the DUI laws and science and his knowledge of the NHTSA instructions and procedures governing proper field sobriety testing and breathalyzer machine, he accurately projected how my case would likely to proceed. At discovery, he devised a clear plan of action, I agreed, and he guided me through the process. My case was dispositioned with a much lesser charge and everything went exactly as he said it would. He prepared me well enough that I was granted my restricted driver’s license at my court appearance, which saved me a lot of time and money later. It was evident he is well respected in the courtroom and he is always respectful to me. I can't thank him enough for helping me put this legal matter behind me. I highly recommend Mark Earley and his team at the Earley Legal Group -- They're fantastic!!

Compassionate Lawyer

Mark helped me through my DUI case, it was the first time I had ever been charged with anything and he was more than helpful and understanding, even when I asked him the same questions over and over again. Over all I feel like he cared about my case and me individually and was very helpful throughout... the entire process.

Very pleased!

Mark Earley just defended me in Loudoun County for a DUI I'd incurred. Given the context of the case, I got the minimum punishment possible, thanks to Mark's thorough work before the case has tried and thorough/informed discussion with the prosecutor and judge on the trial date. I highly recommend!

Fantastic Lawyer!!

Mr. Earley represented me for a reckless driving charge, 96mph in a 55mph zone. Throughout the entire process, he was extremely helpful. Mr. Earley took all my questions with patience, did a great job explaining the process, and had a solid game plan in place for us. The day of the case, he did fa...ntastic to get us the result we were looking for. I definitely could not have done this myself. Mr. Earley was worth every penny. He really did advocate for me to the best of his ability and treated me as if he’d treat a family member. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
