Much Thanks! Darwyn Easley, Esq. is the way to go!

Attorney Easley came highly recommended by a good friend of my wife's. His response to our call was practically immediate and welcoming. His approach to receiving the details of my situation was thorough, and his knowledge of my charge was without question. It was apparent to me and my wife that h...e is quite experienced and well known and respected within the Fairfax County court system. He was there for us from the very beginning until the very end walking us through and explaining every step of the way. Attorney Easley helped me above and beyond what I could have expected, giving the actual charge I received. I am very thankful and appreciative of the end result. I will highly recommend Attorney Darwyn Easley to anyone requiring legal representation in the areas of law in which he practices!

Great, efficient work

Being a lawyer myself (practicing in a different jurisdiction), I have run across more than my fair share of attorneys that fall short. Not so with Darwyn: professional, efficient, effective, responsive, a pleasure to work with and, most importantly, great result. My daughter was faced with a very d...ifficult situation arising from her driving and Darwyn managed to get a result much more favorable than we could have imagined. Could not recommend more.

Mr. Easley was extremely diligent and honest. He gave me a fair price and expectation of the outcome. I highly recommend Darwyn

Mr. Easley represented my son in a misdemeanor criminal charge. He did not try to scare us or exaggerate the situation. I first spoke to Mr. Easley on Easter weekend and he was so very understanding and kind. He returned all my calls and set up an initial consultation right away. At the consultation ...he gave us a very fair price and walked us through his strategy point by point. On the day of the court date, Mr. Easley was on time and immediately started to speak with the District Attorney , and detective on the case. He found out some very helpful and vital information and used it to my son’s benefit. In the end the case was dismissed and all is well! I do not believe that if we had gone with a different attorney that we would have had such a positive outcome. It was only because of Mr. Easley’s quick assessment of the lay of the land and his years of knowledge and experience of the Fairfax County Court system did we have all charges dropped. If you are in need of a criminal attorney in Fairfax County please go to Darwyn Easley. He is fair, honest, and kind to his clients and assertive, analytical, logical and painstaking thorough in the courtroom.

Outstanding Lawyer

As a recent client of Easley Law Firm, with Darwyn as my lawyer, I would like to take this opportunity to advise others what an outstanding job he did in representing me in my DWI case. I cannot fathom what the ramifications would have been if the verdict would have been guilty. Darwyn was a true pro...fessional in every aspect of my case; he kept me abreast of what was transpiring throughout the process and truly went above and beyond. He used legal maneuvering that had others attorneys perplexed. I truly could have not asked for a better and more compassionate attorney. To find someone like him is truly a rarity. Thank you so much for your service Darwyn, we are forever indebted to you.

Easley Law Firm

I have never had an encounter with the law until 2013. I was accused of child neglect/endangerment from a client from my home daycare. Due to my poor judgement and lack of knowledge of the law I went to see the detective working my case alone and made a false confession due to the fear and stress of ...the interrogation. Due to this mistake of mine I was facing a felony of child neglect. I felt so devastated and barely anybody seemed to listen or believe me. After many interviews of different lawyers I was recommended to Mr. Easley thru a family friend. At our first meeting he recorded my statement of facts and I truly felt that he cared for me as a person and not just a business transaction. Mr. Easley skillfully and professionally prepared my defense to the prosecutor. He is very intuitive to your legal needs and he calmly communicates a strategic way forward. With time after many uncertain days, weeks, and months of what my outcome will be, we found proof that I did not cause the injury to the child after all. I was so relieved to hear this. But; due to my false confession I had to take responsibility and took an Alford Plea. Easley Law Firm has built a rapport with my family and I. Also, Mr. Easley kept my family and I informed on the whole legal matter and court matters to us in an up-most professional way. I strongly recommend Easley Law Firm to whomever is in need.

"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."
