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.

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.

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.

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. ...

Stay away, the worst on Judicial Drive
Mr. Gordon is an especially brain dead individual. He will take your money and do Nothing for you as the client, so WATCH OUT, they don’t care about settlements. It doesn’t put any money in their pockets when there isn’t an insurance co paying. They will run up an imaginary “legal bill” in areas of l...
