A great man to have on your side

Mr. Easley did a phenomenal job in representing me in a recent case. A close friend referred him to me as Mr. Easley had done very well with him and was able to have a serious felony dropped to a misdemeanor. When he is working for you it's easy to tell that he is truly empathetic to your situation a...nd is dedicated to making sure you receive the best outcome possible. He is remarkably responsive and will always answer a call or quickly return a text. He's a great speaker and has a wonderful concise way of informing you on what he feels would be the best way to handle your case and what outcome you could likely expect. In my case I was facing three felony drug charges and one misdemeanor. He was able to have the misdemeanor as well as one of the felonies dropped altogether, then was able to get the two remaining felonies reduced to misdemeanors. I feel like this was about the best possible outcome I could have hoped for in my case and I am very appreciative of the excellent job Mr. Easley did for me.

Best DUI Lawyer!!

Darwyn was incredible. I had a DUI case three years ago and I went to jury court with him and he got it dropped! He was always there to answer every question that I had along the process and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about at all. He is confident and speaks eloquently and to the hearts... of his audience. Even after my case, I have called him for recommendations and he has listened and gave me the best advice. Not he is an outstanding lawyer, and an even better person.

Mr. Easely was did a great job with my case. I appreciate the fact he took on my case and did whatever he could to make sure I didn’t face major consequences. He listened to me , and we both compromised to a solution. I want to thank You, Mr.Easley for taking on my case.

Diligent from beginning to end!

Mr. Easley swiftly took over my case after it had already begun. When I hired him, I was already going through the appeal process. He communicated thoroughly with me throughout the entire process & was dedicated to my case. He went over all documentation, prepped me for trial and answered any/all que...stions that I had. He was always prompt & available whenever I needed to reach him. He did more than I could have ever imagined or asked for. I am forever indebted to him. He ultimately won my case and I can't be more grateful. Had I known his service would be so great and I would be so comfortable throughout the entire process, I would have surely hired him first. He is more than worth the cost, the service I received was outstanding and left a lasting impression on my family & I. Many Thanks Mr. Easley!

"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."
