Brian S. Szmak

Brian is a very personable, detail oriented, and focused lawyer. I had met with several lawyers before meeting with Brian. Previous attorneys seemed focused on the size and worth of the estate, not my personal needs or expectations. During my original consultation with Brian, he was very thorough in ...gaining all the relevant information concerning estate, he asked me what my expectations were, as well as set realistic expectations of my particular case. Through the whole process Brian was always available and able to address my questions. Brian reviewed my case, and walked me through the process of minimizing my financial burden and thoroughly explained possible outcomes. During my interactions with Brian he was always professional, while also being empathetic towards my recent loss of my Mom. If you’re looking for a thorough, results driven, compassionate lawyer, I can’t recommend Brian enough, after your initial consultation I am sure you’ll agree with my assessment of Brian.

Brian is the best criminal defense lawyer. He will not rest until his clients are fully satisfied and content with the results. He was able to help my brother out with his possession of a firearm case tremendously with no jail time. Would absolutely recommend Brian if you need an attorney. He is kno...wledgeable and the one you want on your side.

I retained Mr. Szmak recently, and I am extremely glad I did! He worked with me closely from start to finish, gathering information about my situation, laying out defensive options, if-then scenarios which helped me mentally prepare for the hearing, and even answered some tangentially-related questi...ons I had which he probably didn't have to help me with. I really felt like he was in my corner the entire time. The hearing itself was fast and easy. Mr. Szmak was decisive and effective in his defense, and I left a very happy person. Would definitely work with him again in the future!

Someone filed against me regarding a matter in civil court, and I hired Brian Szmak for representation, here in Alexandria, VA. He was very thorough in letting me know what my options were, and kept me informed about my situation the whole way through. He was able to easily answer any questions I h...ad about my case, just from his knowledge of case law, the statutes in Virginia, and the legal standards we were dealing with. There was never a point where I felt like I didn't know what was going on or what the next steps were. This matter could have honestly gone to court, and I would have been 100% confident in Brian's ability to represent me at trial. But he was able to work out an arrangement out-of-court that I was happy with, that made this whole thing go away. I was EXTREMELY pleased with the outcome. I'd highly recommend Brian for anyone who needs representation in local courts here pertaining to borderline civil-criminal matters.
