The 5 star reviews speak for themselves - Highly Recommended

I am so thankful I hired Mr. Soldan. He is a true professional when it comes to traffic violations. He also has an excellent reputation at the Loudoun County Circuit Court. He spoke with the prosecuting attorney and convinced her to dismiss my case due to a lack of clear notes on the deputy's part. T...he Judge agreed and my charges were dropped. I will also add that I have a clean driving record and no incidents. If you get pulled over for speeding or reckless driving, I highly recommend Mr. Soldan. There is no greater feeling than knowing that my research and investment in finding the right attorney paid off in a very big way!

Amazing Attorney

Mr. Soldan is an exceptional lawyer, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his clients. Right from the start, he was patient and was available to answer any questions we had. He diligently gathered the necessary information, informed me of everything I needed to do pre-trial, and communicated with ...the prosecution on my behalf His persistence and patient handling of this case resulted in an amazing outcome. I would highly recommend Mr. Soldan and his firm to anyone seeking excellent legal representation (especially for anyone experiencing a traffic violation/reckless driving charge, DUI) in Loudoun County, VA. 5 starts are not enough and he is hands down one of the best attorneys in Loudoun County. You will not go wrong picking him as your attorney.

EXCELLENT legal representation

Mr. Soldan is knowledgeable, well experienced, and an exceptional professional in his field. I came to him seeking representation for a charge that would have had enormous repercussions; it was not an easy challenge to overcome. He diligently gathered the necessary information, informed me of everyth...ing I needed to do pre-trial, and communicated with the prosecution on my behalf. He was readily available to respond to any and all questions/concerns every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Soldan and his firm to anyone seeking excellent legal representation in Loudoun County, VA.
