A season of imperfection

My perfect life had been interrupted by the elements of an energy I’ve yet to understand. I had been relocated from a space of strive to a space of survive. I felt voiceless, I don’t wish to discuss the nature of my case but I could’ve been convicted for a significant amount of time. Mr E, coolest an...gel I ever did see. Recommended by a family friend. I was beyond skeptical as a young brown man I had not had a lot of belief in lawyers or anything judicial thinking they all work together to incarcerate us for profit. NOT TRUE!!! His office reminded me of the movie mo betta blues by spike lee. He talked to me directly, not at me. I was proud to have Mr E on my case he, represented what I could possibly be someday if I take care. Mr. E is cool, smart and powerful! He actually felt like an extension of me it was an overall comfortable experience within a scary one. He’s your man!

Assault & Battery - Dismissed/Null Prosecute

I am extremely satisfied and gratified with the performance and results achieved by Mr Easley with regards to my family member's case. Mr Easley was professional and proficient in his defense of this case. He work diligently and without compromise to understand the situation, communicate the potent...ial risks, and then develop and execute a strategy to move forward. Mr Easley used his understanding of the art and science of law defense to communicate with prosecutors and courts to his advantage. He is top-notch and a top performer. Get him on your team. A great American and great lawyer.

Exceptional Attorney

Mr. Easley has been an outstanding attorney dealing with my DWI charge. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer.

Posted by Ryan | September 20, 2021 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Mr. Easley is OUTSTANDING! I trust his services with myself, friends, or family moving forward and HIGHLY recommend! Thank you!

Darwyn was referred to me by a family member, and did not disappoint. I faced 3 significant charges from 2 separate incidents (1st DWi w/ Refusal & Reckless Driving 110/55mph) and was unfamiliar with the law process regarding these charges, or the consequences that I was facing. My family reached ou...t to Darwyn around 2:30am the night of my DWI incident, and received a response from him at 6am the same morning, which foreshadowed the service I would receive from Darwyn and his team the next 6 months. Darwyn was able to negotiate and argue the DWI charge to an "improper driving", which is unheard of in Virginia courts. The subsequent Refusal was then dropped completely. The second charge of Reckless Driving at 110mph in a 55mph zone on the Dulles Toll Road, has an "unwritten rule" of 1 day in jail per each mph over 90mph. Darwyn once again was able to use his expertise and research to best prepare my case for court and ultimately present the best defense possible. The disposition ended up remaining a Reckless Driving, but was able to reduce jail time to 1 day w/ a loss of license (Restricted priveleges granted), and half of the maximum fine that could have been applied. I HIGHLY suggest Mr. Easley to anyone looking for a great defense attorney with expert knowledge in his field, and the utmost respect for his clients. I will be sure to recommend his services to my closest friends/family who may need representation moving forward, and I cannot express my gratitude to Mr. Easley for allowing me to feel comfortable through one of the lowest points in my life, while also presenting the possible consequences I was facing in a direct manner.. Thank you sir! 11/10 rating!

Speeding Charge Reduced

Darwyn is a great attorney to have for anyone facing charges in the state of Virginia. He asks the tough questions, and really makes sure to get to thee root of the issue so that he can provide the best result possible. When I was pulled over two years ago, I was scared and annoyed with my situation... of facing a misdemeanor because of my reckless driving. Darwyn came in to help set me on a path that resulted in my speed being reduced and not having to worry about anything more than points on my license and insurance rates going up. He is completely worth your time and money!

"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 a very capable, smart and kind lawyer. I trust his insight very much, so have discussed ideas with him on some of my challenging cases. His views always have been on the money. Darwin's winning attitude is summarized by his once reminding me that when negotiations go south, "lace 'em up." Thanks to Darwyn."

"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."
