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.

Awesome Attorney!!!

Mr. Darwin Easley was referred and took my son's case with no hesitation and did an OUTSTANDING job!!! When he says there is nothing to worry about he meant every word. Any questions I asked he was straight forward and he works with you. I highly recommend his service to anyone who's looking for a ...lawyer

Miracle Worker

Mr. Easley was referred, and subsequently hired, to handle my traffic case that may have resulted in severe consequences. We discussed the worst and best case scenarios and strategy to obtain the most favorable results. His expert negotiation skills with the Commonwealth and presentation and summat...ion to the court have allowed me to continue to (freely) drive and have a better attitude and respect for traffic laws. Professional. Knowledgeable. Courteous. Savvy. Highly recommended.

Great Attorney

Darwyn Easley is an outstanding attorney. He is highly intelligent, strategic and very thorough. He is well-versed and well skilled on the judicial system. His expert knowledge of prosecutorial methods is only surpassed by his unwavering passion for his clients. But Darwyn Easley is more than a g...reat attorney, his ability to advocate for us fostered and inspired an elevated level of confident. I could not be more pleased with the representation and the favorable court outcome we received by having Attorney Easley handle our case!!!!

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.

"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."
