Marie Everlyn Washington

Marie knows her stuff! She guided me through my divorce from beginning to end. Unlike other lawyers who don't communicate, Marie and her staff are always on top of things. They are so professional and will work hard for each and every client. Trust in Marie and her staff. When my ex husbands lawyer i...nsisted we proceed with certain documents and protocol one way, Marie helped me fight to do it the correct way. Other lawyers are corrupt and will charge you for things unnecessarily. Marie does not do this. She is straight forward from day one and will not lead you astray.

I hired Ms. Washington to assist me with changing my first and last names, and she helped even though I was stationed overseas. The overall cost and time to complete my case was exceptionally reasonable, and she was very sincere from start to finish. I have to add that her assistant, Carmen, is reall...y cool and professional as well. I definitely hit the jackpot when I contacted Ms. Washington :)

Marie was recommended to me when I was looking for a new lawyer to prepare my will. I can unhesitatingly say that she and her staff set the standard of caring, yet professional service other law offices should emulate. From the first phone call to inquire about an appointment to the signing of the ...documents, the process flowed incredibly smoothly and efficiently. Marie's extensive knowledge and professionalism are apparent in the first few minutes, yet she has a warm personality, is easy to talk to, and knows how to explain things in lay language without watering down the content or talking down to her client. There were a few unusual aspects to my estate, for which two other lawyers had been unable to clearly advise me on how to address in my will or letter of instruction for my Executor. But Marie instantly had clear, sound advice that solved those problems for me. Additionally, all documents were prepared promptly and the response time on follow-up questions was speedy, far faster than my expectations. Marie cares about her clients and you feel as if you are her top priority, even though you know preparing a will is not the same as preparing a criminal case for court deadlines. And she doesn't nickle and dime you to death, being not only straightforward and transparent about her fees up front, but offering options that can save you fees. I will choose Marie if a ever need a lawyer again. She is one of a kind. The good kind.

Marie represented me in a difficult custody case. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and compassion is unsurpassable. She gives great advice, offered me ways to keep costs down, and truly made a miserable situation bearable. She and her staff were truly invested in my case, and were as supportive as... if they had known me my whole life. I would refer anyone with a legal issue to Marie Washington, and will consult with her for any issue I have in the future.

I recently hired Marie Washington for a reckless speeding violation I received in Fauquier County. My interaction with Marie started off with a free consultation in which she was able to provide me with a great deal of information and unbiased advice on what I should do. I had contacted 5+ lawyers be...fore I found Marie, and I chose to work with her because she seemed to have a genuine interest in my case and she has built a great relationship with the local judge and DA over her many years of practice. She was very professional, very responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the state laws and local court system. She and her staff did a excellent job of keeping me informed of the process and in the end, they were even able to get my charges reduced significantly so that I only paid a small fine. I would highly recommend her to anybody who has speeding tickets or traffic violations. Can't hurt to call for a free consultation. Marie, thanks so much for the help! Let's hope I never need your representation again. :)
