    Review Garrett Green

    Back-to-Back DUI Arrests

    Posted by

    I would like to thank Mr. Luke Nichols and Mr. Garrett Green (Nichols+Green PLLC) for representing me on my back-to-back DUI cases. Their professionalism and expertise resulted in the most favorable outcomes in both cases. I really appreciate Mr. Nichols' attention to details and Mr. Green calm cool demeanor during trial. The outcome of the case was the most beautiful words coming from a judge: Case dismissed... YES!!! :))

    Great Lawyer. Responsive. On Top of His Game. Great Outcome.

    Posted by

    We hired Garrett Green to handle a charge of driving with a suspended license. He was very responsive on the phone and in person, listened carefully to the details of the case, and explained how he would proceed on the court date. In court, he was very comfortable with the judge and the prosecutor and he negotiated a great outcome: The case was dismissed.

    Far Exceeded My Expectations

    Posted by

    While experiencing an undiagnosed hypertension episode I got a reckless driving speeding ticket. I had no defense, but Attorney Green was able to negotiate successfully with the Prosecutor to adjust the charge significantly downward to a more minor offense. He did a fantastic job which my entire family appreciates.

    The one to hire!

    Posted by

    After my bad history of traffic violations and not even showing up to court, I thought i was in big trouble with a 30+MPH reckless charge, but Mr. Green was able to reduce it to simple speeding. Worth every penny & extremely painless; Very efficient.

    PROFESSIONAL AND PATIENT ATTORNEY WHO CAN DELIVER RESULTS

    Posted by

    I contacted Garrett regarding a reckless driving case where I had no prior tickets/accidents. I did my diligence to speak with two other attorney and knew that Garrett was the “one” from the first few minutes of our free consultation. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient throughout our call, and although her could not make any promises, he was practical in the possible outcomes. Long story short, I completed a Driver Improvement course prior to the court date and Garrett was able to get me the best possible result! Thank you Garrett!

    Reckless driving in Fairfax city

    Posted by

    Garrett Green took extreme care in collecting the details of my offense and outlining to me the legal circumstances of the matter. He made it very clear for me to understand what I was up against and his plan to amend the situation. Garrett was readily available for spur of the moment phone calls when I had further questions and adequately assured me of his preparation for my court date. He was prompt and never left me waiting for an answer. He effectively was able to get my offense reduced and had my best interest at the forefront throughout the entire process. I am extremely pleased with this firm and how the attended to my specific case! I will definitely contact Garret Green again should it be necessary and I am 100% likely to recommend this firm to a peer in a similar scenario! Thanks again I am extremely grateful

    Traffic summons dismissed

    Posted by

    I was facing a summons resulting from a near fatal traffic incident where mine was the only vehicle involved. The advice on how to handle the summons and explaining the mechanics of the case as well as communication throughout the process was invaluable. The outcome has brought significant peace of mind.

    Felony Eluding Dropped-Reckless with no fine

    Posted by

    I hired Garrett Green to represent me in a case of Reckless driving by speed at 80 in a 45 as well as a FELONY eluding charge. I had 4 Reckless driving reductions on my record prior to receiving this charge. Mr. Green did as he has done for me before in getting me the desired outcome I wanted, he got the commonwealths attorney to drop the felony eluding charge completely and allowed me to plea to the reckless with the fine being waived and less then one day of active jail time. Of the firm belief that there is no better attorney to hire in Fairfax County then Garrett Green. He has proven to be that good time and time again.
