Gotta get this firm

I hired this attorney because I was in a bit of a bind. I was driving in a commercial vehicle when the incident took place. Let's just say what happened wasn't very pretty. I couodn't afford any more points on my license and things were only looking worse from there. These guys not only got the prosecutor to bargain with them so I wouldn't get any points on my license, but also made the fine relatively small. This firm's fees weren't too bad either. If I ever need any type of legal assistance in the future again, these are the guys I'm definitely going to be hiring. I strongly recommend any one who needs legal assistance to give these guys a call.

Alex Gordon and the Gordon Law Firm was able to get what would have been a reckless driving amended to a regular traffic infraction. I now have some dash cams in my vehicle which should make it easier in court should the need arise in the future and I would still have Alex Gordon and the Gordon Law Firm represent me.

Reckless Driving (85/55) in Fairfax County (out of state driver)

I am beyond pleased with the representation I received from The Gordon Law Firm. I was charged with Reckless Driving (85/55) in Fairfax County but Mr. Gordon was able to reduce my charge to a just speeding ticket (74/55, small fine, no criminal record). As an out of state driver (PA), I almost fainted when the officer told me I could go to jail for this charge. I had no idea VA driving laws were that strict. Reckless driving is a Class I misdemeanor, the same class as possession of marijuana and assault and battery! I am a Registered Nurse so having a misdemeanor on my record would wreck my RN licenses that I have in 3 different states. I definitely needed legal representation. If you receive this charge, you need representation too! I strongly suggest getting a lawyer from the country you received your ticket. They will have better rapport with the judges and persecutors in that county, which in turn can help your case. I chose Gordon Law Firm based off their great reviews (Yelp, Avvo, Google), their kindness during my free consultation, and their reasonable price. From the legal assistant (Vanessa) to both Mr. Gordon and Mr. Wall, everyone was patient, thorough, and attentive to my needs. Mr. Gordon would always take my calls if he was in the office and if he wasn’t, he called me back as soon as possible. Follow their simple instructions, provide them with the needed documents, and let them take care of the rest!

90 on a 55 RD got dismissed.

I hired Alex Gordon for my Reckless Driving charge and he got it dismissed. Alex was the most kind and reassuring, yet confident and capable lawyer in the courtroom. I was honored to have him as my lawyer and highly recommend him to anyone.He led me clearly through the process of what I needed to do, and constantly reassured me that I would be taken care of. I can never thank Alex Gordan enough and if you hire him, I'm sure you will feel the same.

A job handled perfectly

To keep it simple, Alex exceeded all my expectations. He took the time to get to know me over the phone, he answered all of my questions and most importantly he did so in a humble yet fully reassuring manner. Alex was able to get the court to fully drop my charge. No points, No record, No fines. Couldn't be happier with my decision.

My case got " Nolle Prossed. I am very grateful to him.

Excellent Attorney

Alex took on my case at the very last moment and accomplished the best possible outcome on my behalf. Alex and Carlos collaborated effectively to smooth out what was for me a very embarrassing situation. Neither were put off by the last minute nature of the case and handled the whole process. If the time ever comes that I need assistance with a matter in the Fairfax County court system I will not hesitate to return to this firm. Professional and courteous.

Excellent

Alex Gordon and his associate Carlos Wall are excellent defense attorneys. Located next to the courthouse, I found them to be convenient, experienced, capable, and available...even if you contact them last minute, as I did. They have no problem going to court in your place if you have a conflict. They offer free and thorough consultations complete with an estimate for services should you decide to hire them. Notably, this firm is flexible, has integrity, and is willing to consider one's financial situation if necessary. They got me out of a jam not too long ago and I could not recommend them enough! I would certainly return to their firm if I found myself in the unfortunate circumstance of needing a defense attorney again.

Review of Alex Gordon

I hired Alex to defend several concurrent minor charges on behalf of a college student. He did an excellent job managing each charge, ulitmately leading to successful resolution/dismissal. Alex was extremely responsive, took the time to explain alternatives, was thoughtful and thorough in his approach, and ultimately extremely successful.

Alex Gordon

If you are looking for a great lawyer you can't go wrong with Mr Alex Gordon. He has represented me multiple times for several tickets including 2 reckless driving tickets, 2 speeding and one illegal tint. He was upfront from the beginning, and let me know what my options were, and never mislead me to believe something he could not guarantee. Some lawyers do this just to get your money and you find out the day of your citation when it is to late to backout. Mr Gordon is also easy to get in contact with, as he shared his cell phone with me in case I needed to call him suddenly. Every time he has been very responsive and always looked in my best interest, showing constant respect and professional excellence. He will answer all of your questions no matter how simple they are, and never once made me feel uncomfortable, unlike other lawyers. He possesses great argumentative and interpersonal skills which became extremely useful during each one of our cases. I am deeply thankful for his help and extremely satisfied with the results of his practice on my behalf. I would highly recommend him to anyone involved in a traffic infraction, specially if your license or freedom is at stake.

Out-of-State Client

Alex handled my Reckless Driving case. As an out-of-state driver, he handled all the paperwork, appearances and resolved this matter with the best possible outcome considering the situation. He was easy to get in touch with and was very responsive to my questions. I would recommend him favorable for your attorney needs.

Do Choose Carlos Wall

I'm pretty sure if I'd gotten a different lawyer I'd have a better review. I wasn't really happy with Carlos Wall. He makes the firm look bad. We spoke twice, once over the phone about the price, which was quoted to me by another lawyer at the firm that he complained about. I agreed to pay more if it was a problem, but he acted as though I was doing him a disservice and he was doing me a "favor" by honoring the quoted price. The next time we spoke was the day of court. He was late and he had more conversation with the police officer that pulled me over than me. To be honest I feel like it was a waste of money. I could have fought myself for what I got. His attitude was condescending and dismissive. Use any other lawyer but Carlos Wall.
