If you have reached this page, you want to know if I am the right person to help you, help your friend, or help someone you love who is in trouble. At The Gordon Law Firm we know what is really important to our current and potential clients is the quality of our attorneys' character, legal skills, and their ability to stand up and fight for you when your future is on the line. That is why we offer a free consultation in order for you to meet with us in person before you commit to pay any fees.
We understand and appreciate the trust and confidence that our clients place in our firm. During the past 19 years we have helped more than 5000 people. Each client is more than just a number. Each new person seeking help has been an opportunity to learn more about that person’s career, educational background, and personality. If you care about your clients, and know the possible effects of a conviction upon their lives, you want to work hard and fight for them to achieve the best possible result.
I now have more than seventeen years of experience. During my career I have helped many clients charged with serious felonies and misdemeanors in Northern Virginia. I am a member of the Virginia Bar and the State Bars of Florida and Georgia. I am also a member of the Fairfax Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys.
I earned a Bachelor of Science from James Madison University in 1991 and graduated from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1994. I live in Fairfax County with my wife and sons.

Garrett Green, Criminal defense Attorney on Jul 2, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Look around the courthouse corridors and notice that when it's getting close to time to try cases that lawyers gravitate to others they trust to test their legal theories and strategies. Alex is one of those lawyers other attorneys turn to for guidance and advice. I'm proud to count Alex as a colleague and a friend.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I've known Alex Gordon for over a decade and strongly endorse him. I also practice criminal and traffic defense law, so I've seen him at work and know how good he is. When I have a scheduling conflict, Alex is the first colleague I call to cover my case. I've even sent him to court to represent members of my family. He is so tough, that some of his fellow lawyers refer to him as the "Honey Badger" - you won't find anyone better.
Luke Nichols, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 15, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Alex, is a great person and a great attorney. He has made practicing in Fairfax a pleasure.
