Garrett Douglas Green

Definitely a firm that you can trust. I was referred by a family member and it was the best choice I could have made. They have your best interest in mind and work to get the best results. My consultation was effortless and they were able to work with me short notice. The correspondence was timely an...d my mind was definitely put at ease during such a stressful time. My case was already squared away when I reached the courtroom and I am very happy with my results. You won't be disappointed. I am so glad this situation is over and I am even more happy with the positive results of my case!

I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Green as an attorney. I am an out of state resident and I was fined a reckless driving ticket. Mr. Green was very thorough during my consultation and asked all the right questions. He than advised me in the steps I should take up to the court date. I felt very in the loop... and he answered all the questions I had along the way. On the actual day of court he was able to get the judge to throw my case out. I was very estatic with the outcome. Mr. Greens professionalism and knowlege of the law is very apparent during our first meeting; which is why I hired him, and he did not disappoint. If you are looking for someone who knows the law and can represent you putting your interest firsts than without hesitation I would recommend Mr. Green.

Outcome: I was charged with Reckless driving (83/55), a 6 point Criminal Misdemeanor to be on my Virginia driving record for 11 years and with the help of Nichols and Green was amended to a Speeding (74/55) Conviction, a 4 point traffic infraction to be on my record for 5 years. The reckless crimina...l conviction was dropped and I can take a driver improvement class to get the points back on my license. I was pulled over for speeding on the beltway. I was concerned about this affecting my insurance rates, lowering the odds of an officer letting me off with a warning if I was pulled over again, and most importantly, about receiving a criminal misdemeanor charge (permanent record in VA) as it could adversely affect future employment opportunities. After reading about Fairfax County Courts online, I decided it would be worth the money to hire a lawyer. After meeting in person with several traffic lawyers throughout the area I settled on Garret Green from Nichols and Green. The main reasons I chose him over the competition was that he was happy to discuss the specifics of defending my case prior to payment, he presented himself in a very professional manner, he was up front about my chances and that a technicality I found on my summons wouldn’t work in my defense. I was also able to find a large volume of reviews about him. There were a few lawyers in the area with higher AVVO ratings, but they were based on less than 10 reviews. Garret had the most reviews of any traffic lawyer I looked at, and still maintained one of the highest ratings. The number of years of experience he brought to the table was also towards the top for all the Lawyers I looked through. The fixed price he gave me for handling my case (including any appeals) was also a hair cheaper than the other lawyers I met with. On court day, I waited outside the courtroom for a few hours with one of Garret's other clients while he met with the prosecutor, officer, etc. He was able to get both of our charges reduced. I signed a form with the amended charge and we all went into the court room where Garret spoke with the judge and provided my signed paperwork (I only spent about 10 minutes in the court room and only had to say a half dozen words). I paid the fine / court costs on my way out of the court house. The whole process was about as smooth as I could have hoped for. Garret, his Partner Luke Nichols (who also appeared at the courthouse), and their staff put me at ease, answered my questions in a timely manner, and got the results I was hoping for. I will obviously be recommending them to anyone I encounter who faces traffic court in Fairfax county.

Mr. Green's experience and knowledge put me at ease from the first phone call. My reckless was successfully reduced to improper driving. His professionalism and confidence navigating the court system in Northern Virginia was exceptional. If you want the best representation I highly recommend their... firm. Mr. Green, thank you!!!

Mr. Green kept me informed and never got my hopes high about this case, in other words I was never mislead by any overly optimistic information. Even after I admitted everything willingly to the officer at the scene and set myself up for a concrete conviction, Mr. Green made an outstanding defense in... court which involved diminishing the validity of the evidence against me. In the end, the judge ruled me not guilty because of lack of sufficient evidence. Mr. Green is extremely knowledgeable of the DUI law. I have learned my lesson and will never have to see him again, but if I ever find myself with a second DUI i know where I would go.
