Best of fairfax

Mr Easley assissted me in a DWI. Unfortunately I side swiped another car in which the police officer caught on tape. My BAC was a .13 at the station. Obviously was worried about the outcome of this.With his knowledge on these cases he managed to get this reduced to a reckless driving, definitely reco...mmend his services.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Easley represented me in a DUI case that could have been detrimental to my career. He was thorough in his approach and was extremely meticulous in reviewing all of the evidence. The case eventually went to trial and he was successful in producing doubt on the part of the arresting officer that... resulted in the case being dismissed. I am forever grateful for his representation and will without a doubt recommend him!

Legal Help for our Daughter Was Exceptional

My wife and I hired Atty. Easley to represent our daughter who made a bad decision at her job and was charged with grand larceny. He was recommended to me by my fraternity brother who lives in Virginia and had been represented by him successfully in a DUI case . Distance made it even more difficult ...for us since we are in Tennessee and our daughter was in college in the District of Columbia and Atty. Easley is in Virginia. We needed someone who really had our daughter's best interest in mind. His professionalism and realism was outstanding. He was more than our daughters attorney, but almost like a family member to us. He kept everything real ( or 100 as the young people say). He made a very stressful situation bearable for my wife and I. His Christian values and his transparency in telling us and our daughter about mistakes he made and recovered from in his past to be the successful attorney he is now was just what our daughter needed. I would highly recommend Atty. Easley, he has all the ingredients (dedication, integrity, loyalty, commitment, professionalism, and perseverance ) to assist you in your legal situation.

Truly the best attorney you can hire!

I was referred to Darwin from a friend of mine who hired him for a DUI case. Having to interview different traffic court attorneys he was highly recommend from few people. After meeting with Darwin I knew he was the one for me. My dui case was dismissed because of Darwin's hard work and dedication. ...For those who are in need of a legal counsel, I will share my personal experience with him. 1. Never gives up/ Perseverance- You want to hire an attorney who won't give up and pour every drop of his effort and energy to give you the best outcome. Now it's hard to find attorneys who will fight the fight you need. Now having to work with Darwin, this guy is a TRUE fighter who will never give up until the end! 2. Good verbal & nonverbal communication skills- In order to argue convincingly in the court room before juries and judges, good public presentation skills are essential. The way Darwin orally articulate his words to accurately know when to be persuasive and when to go hard or soft, you have to hire him to see him in action. Most importantly, his nonverbal communication skills. His body language in front of the judge and prosecutor, his eye contact, the tone of his voice, the clarity and concision (knows when to attack and when to stay back) and confidence in his ability to do it all in such a respectful manner. Believe me I know since I mentor people about how to present in front of others. 3. Judgement/Decisiveness After reviewing my case, he immediately drew where to spot points of weakness in an oppositions argument. He has a great ability to draw reasonable and logical arguing points. Going to the court few times during our trial, I'd ask him "Darwin, why did you do this or why did you say that". He was never slow to answer back and give me the breakdown of why he did what he did. Darwin always had a logical reason behind his decision. 4. Likability Just like anything else in this world, at the end of the day it's all about working with people. Irrelevant of how well an attorney did academically or having good research skillsets, lawyers work with people all day! From judges to clients, Darwin is personable and very likable guy. I would highly recommend him. He won't disappoint you. 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."

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."
