Worth Every Penny

Worth every penny. My case was pretty open and shut as I made a wrong decision that put me in a bad place. Unfortunately I was charged with 3 felonies. I was looking at jail time but with the services of Mr. Easley, I took a plea and avoided all jail time and was placed on supervised probation for 3 ...years. I was referred to him by a friend who has spent over 40k using his services. I highly recommend him. His services are a little higher than most but I would spend it time and time again if you can afford him. I also plan on using him again to get my probation terminated early. Thanks again.

Wrongly charged

If you are looking for a lawyer who is well respected among his peers, hard working, professional, knowledgeable and a seasoned veteran in the court of law, then Mr. Easley is the lawyer for you. I was in a very difficult situation because we were going up against a police officer who was not sta...ting facts and had a bad attitude. Mr. Easley came highly recommended to me by fellow firefighters and police officers. When I first met Mr Easley, he was calming and reassuring. He listened to everything I said. He went over all my evidence with a fine tooth comb. He spent long hours working on my case. I could see his determination and passion. We met a few days before trial to tie up lose ends and do a final review. I was very impressed on how prepared he was. He had every angle covered, from what he was going to say to the jury to the cross exam questions. When it came time for my trial, Mr. Easley was in his element. He cross examined that police officer with great finesse and tenacity. The Officer became confrontational and Mr. Easley stayed on him like a pitbull. He did this with each witness. In the end, the Judge ended up dropping the case and dismissing all charges. I have been in Public Safety for over 20 years. I have worked with all kinds of lawyers. I have never met a gentleman like Mr. Easley. People like him are really hard to find.

DWI 2 w/in 5 and Refusal

Darwyn is the best lawyer in Fairfax for DWI/DUI cases. I was facing jail time and loss of license for 3 years. Darwyn worked tirelessly with me on getting my charges dropped to Reckless Driving - 90 days incarceration, all suspended; - $1000 fine, with $750 suspended; - ASAP (alcohol educat...ion/treatment); and - 6 months restricted driving privileges. Darwyn will work with you step by step to ensure that you are aware of the possibilities and what he will try to do for you. Every time I have used Darwyn for my cases he always gets the best possible outcome. Darwyn is not like most Attorneys that enter the court room looking for an easy deal with the prosecutors. He will fight for you. Best Lawyer I have had the pleasure of working with.

The Absolute Best Attorney- Helped My Son on a Reckless Driving Charge

My son was in Big Trouble and facing incarceration due to excessive speeding in Fairfax County. He has a great job and a reckless driving conviction would have put his job in jeopardy and/or disqualified him from further promotions. We interviewed many traffic court attorneys and they indicated tha...t incarceration was evident due to the speed he was travelling but they would “try” to get the best possible sentence. When we met with Darwin, he was the only attorney that gave us a complete program of what my son needed to do in order to avoid incarceration and possibly lessen the charge. Darwin really fought for our son and never gave up. Over the course of 9 months, Mr. Easley worked really hard on every aspect of the case including driving the same path that my son drove on the night of the incident. After several continuances, we went to trial and the complete package that Darwin presented to the DA on my son’s behalf was compelling. As a result, the Reckless Driving Charge was reduced to Improper Driving and my son was able to go home avoiding a criminal charge on his record and incarceration. All of Mr. Darwin Easley’s hard work paid off and we are so grateful to him. Darwin is personable, smart, understands the law and I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a top notch attorney. He won't disappoint you and really fights on your behalf. Thank you Darwin for all your help!

"I highly recommend Mr. Easley. He is a fantastic attorney that obtains absolutely fantastic results for his clients. I have had the pleasure of being able to see him in action, and words cannot describe his professionalism, kindness and integrity, as well as his legal acumen. While he does obtain fantastic results, and is well respected by the prosecutors and judges throughout state and federal courtrooms in Northern Virginia (and Washington, D.C.) the thing that is most remarkable about Darwyn is his humility and the fact that he's a genuinely nice and thoughtful guy. I highly recommend him."

"Darwyn is one of the most intelligent, versed, and respected attorneys in Virginia. His legal and interpersonal skills not only make him an extremely effective lawyer, it enables him to achieve outcomes for his clients that are almost unfathomable. I have personally seen his ability to negotiate great outcomes with prosecutors in the most difficult cases and achieve victories in seemingly hopeless cases through trial. Fellow colleagues, judges and courtroom personnel would all agree that his professionalism and integrity along with his quick wit and experience make him among the best in the field of criminal defense. I highly endorse Mr. Easley."
