Professional, *****

This review is long overdue. Mr. Easley is definitely five stars in my book. He Easley represented my teenage son on multiple occasions in the last 18 months for traffic violations (reckless driving and speeding). Throughout the process he was the consummate professional and always very encouragin...g, not only to my son, but to me as well. There were times when I was at the end of my rope but his calm reassurance and encouragement kept me going. Had it not been for his efforts, I am sure my son would have not only lost his license indefinitely, but possibly been jailed as well. Instead, he ended paying fines and having his license temporarily suspended. These events could have seriously derailed his life, instead, today he seems to have learnt is lesson, is in school, has a part-time job, and is doing well. I should also mention that it was obvious that Mr. Easley was well-liked and respected by his peers. Thank you for everything you did and for always encouraging me to keep the faith. Should I need the assistance of a lawyer, I would not hesitate to call or to refer you.

Unbelievable Results!

Mr. Easley represented our son in a juvenile case. He was facing a possession of marijuana and trespassing charge after coming off of probation from a previous offense. Mr. Easley was very personable with our family. He made us feel at ease and was able to relate to our son on his level. He was ...extremely professional and honest in letting our son know what lay ahead of him. He laid out a plan for our son to follow and told him exactly what he needed to do prior to his court date in order to have a more favorable outcome. Mr. Easley did his job as a lawyer and at the same time acted as a mentor. He went to bat for our son. Following the plan that was laid out, Mr. Easley was able to get the prosecutor, policeman and the court to agree to completely dismiss (non prosecute) our son’s case. Mr. Easley was highly recommended to us by a family friend. We would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

"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."
