Great lawyer! Saved 3x!

I have hired Mr. Easley not once, twice, but three times. The first was for 2nd DUI within 10 years. He had it treated as my first, 12 months loss of license, 6 months restricted - BEST possible scenario. The second was for driving on a revoked license, and should have been automatic jail time as I w...as on probation. He worked to have this case continued until I was off probation so that it would no longer be a probation violation. I ended up with only having 90 days additional of license added. Unfortunately, I required Mr. Easley's services a third time. I was charged with a third DUI, second refusal, and facing a felony charge, and up to two years in jail. In the end, he ended up having it treated as my second DUI within five, and the refusal charge dropped to reckless driving. Most importantly, he had the felony charge dropped to a misdemeanor. The two years jail time were all suspended, but twenty days. I owe Mr. Easley much more than this review. He put a lot of hard work into my cases, was always clear and straightforward about my options, and worked 3 miracles for me. Definitely worth every penny! He is well known and respected among his peers, and in the community.

Outstanding Attorney

I hired Mr. Darwin Easley for a petty larceny charge. The very first time I spoke to Mr. Easley he gave me the utmost confidence in his ability to ensure the best outcome possible. The petty larceny was a third or subsequent offense, therefore a felony. Mr. Easley helps to make a very stressful time ...a lot more reassuring. He is sincere and honest with the situation at hand. He will tell you up front what he thinks he can do to help. He is a very personable and a well respected lawyer. He was able to plea down the charge for me to keep it as a misdemeanor (instead of the felony). Mr. Easley deserves an A+++++++. Would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.

Reckless Driving Arlington

Mr. Easley represented me on a very serious reckless driving ticket in Arlington (98/55). In Arlington it is said to be mandatory jail for speeds over 90. Mr. Easley negotiated my case and I got one of the best outcomes possible in Arlington. He was able to get no jail time and no loss of license. M...r. Easley is an outstanding lawyer, who is well respected in the courts. He was very diligent, responsive, and reassuring. I’m very happy I hired Mr. Easley to represent me.

Amazing Lawyer

Mr. Easley was great from the start. He is the first lawyer I contacted when I needed legal help and he was the last. From when I met with him until the last day at the final hearing he was great. The odds were not with me on my case, but Mr. Easley worked with me for almost 8 months to get the best ...possible outcome. I am glad I had Mr. Easley representing me and I would recommend him to anyone!

"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."
