Highly recommended, outstanding results

I was pulled over for reckless driving going 101 in a 55 which is a class 1 misdemeanor offense. This charge can carry up to a $2,500 fine and six month license suspension and 6 negative points on my license. Mr. Easley recommended I preform community service, and complete a reckless driving class an...d a driver improvement class which added positive points on to my license. Mr. Easley was clear and informative in what I needed to complete before my court date. He responded promptly to all my emails and was very helpful. Mr. Easley worked for the best possible results. Mr. Easley had my charges reduced to an infraction and a $500 fine with only 3 negative points on my license. I am extremely happy with the results of Mr. Easley work and would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Stellar Representation

Mr. Easley is the lawyer to hire if you live in Northern Virginia area! He is someone you can rely on and trust, one who has nothing but YOUR best interest. He is very knowledgeable, any question or concern that I had, he had an answer for. I came to him with two charges, had one completely dismiss...ed and the other one down to simple speeding. I thank Mr. Easley for representing me in my case, and making it known he is the lawyer to go to and hire for any future legal matters.

Fantastic representation, result

After finding myself in an unfortunate situation, I needed the best representation. After going through several attorneys, I was incredibly fortunate that Darwyn was referred to me by a professional colleague. Darwyn ended up being a Godsend. Having worked closely with lawyers for my professional ...career I can say unequivocally that Darwyn is one of sharpest and most skilled trial lawyers I’ve been around. A relentless advocate, he worked tirelessly on my behalf to obtain a truly amazing result. He did so by knowing more than and by outworking the opposition. Darwyn was always responsive and treated me like his only client. I cannot recommend Darwyn enough, particularly when the stakes are highest.

The MAN of Fairfax County

Mr. Easley is a great man. He has represented me more than once in Fairfax County. He's very nice, understanding, funny, and he knows his stuff. It seems as though he knows everyone in that courthouse, including the prosecutors and judges, and they all treat him with a LOT of respect. I absolutel...y recommend Darwyn Easley, and I have recommended him to people I know and love.

Mrs. M. MacDonald

Mr. Easley was hired for an appeal of a Permanent Protective Order entered in the Juvenile Domestic Relations District Court. Right from the start, he was extremely responsive and reviewed all aspects of the case, including learning as much about the accuser and the history from multiple sources. ...After issuing extensive discovery and reviewing all of the responses and frank discussions with the Appellee’s attorney, the Appellee agreed that the Order be dissolved, saving us another exhausting and emotionally draining hearing. Mr. Easley was tough and aggressive in his pursuit of justice. Hopefully, we will never need his services again, but if we do, we would not hesitate to retain him and have him in our corner.

"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."
