Marie Everlyn 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. :)

We turned to Marie Washington when our youngest son was involved in a DUI. We knew of her reputation in the community as a caring attorney and we wanted someone that we knew we could trust to do the very best for him given the unfortunate situation. She did that with professionalism and grace. Given ...the stressful nature of any court proceeding, Marie can bring a smile to your face brightening an otherwise negative experience. She didn't pull any punches as to what the consequences could be that we were facing. She was straightforward but not callous or unfeeling. Marie Washington is a skilled professional, she's garnered a reputation in Fauquier County and beyond for her talents as an attorney but she carries that extra edge of being deeply rooted in the community she serves with knowledge of many of the families that make up its residents. Her strength is to stress the positive, her energy and enthusiasm are contagious and we would highly recommend her to any needing legal guidance.
