Ms. Dvorchik worked diligently and dedicated her time and knowledge to resolve the matter without any issues and for the best result possible. She came highly recommended and I too highly recommend Ms. Dvorchik
"Over the course of my career in prosecution I had the opportunity to interact with hundreds of attorneys across northern Virginia. The most talented criminal attorneys, those who consistently achieved the best results for the clients, were those who knew not just the law but the particular circumstances of their case and its impacts on their client. Anna Dvorchik always differentiated herself from her peers in her advocacy in negotiating pleas and in the court room. She is personable, thoughtful, and someone who fully grasps and articulates the issues in any case she's arguing. I would unequivocally recommend Anna to any individual looking for representation in a criminal matter."
"I have known Anna Dvorchik for many years. She is smart and inquisitive. Her strengths as an attorney arise from her tenacity, her thorough nature, and her hard work."
"Anna is a very talented and dedicated attorney with excellent litigation and trial experience in numerous areas of practice. She is an invaluable asset to our firm, and I am very fortunate to have such a skilled colleague!"
