HIRE THIS ATTORNEY!

I rated Jad Sarsour at five stars and rated him Excellent in every category because he did exactly what he told me he would do. This was the first time I'd hired a lawyer, so I was hesitant but I didn't want to risk the consequences if the ridiculous charge wasn't dropped. It could have effected my p...rofessional licenses not to mention business contracts, etc. Due to frustration with a different Law Firm, I spoke with Jad at the last minute, as in 4:30 p.m. the day before my 9:30 a.m. Court date. He informed me that, while he could not guarantee the result I was looking for, he felt confident that he could get the Class 2 traffic misdemeanor I was being charged with dropped and reduced to a few lesser fines. This was exactly what I had hoped for as a best case scenario. He was very knowledgeable of the Fairfax County Court, the prosecution, as well as the Officer involved. He even described exactly what the Officer looked like just from his name, and shared his opinion of him, which was very accurate.... Without knowing I had talked to other attorneys, he warned me that they would charge me a lot more money, (3 x's his fee, actually) tell me I had to be there physically (even though I live 10 hours away), and generally try to scare me to death. He was dead on the money. That's exactly what they had already done. Furthermore, I half expected a continuance which any attorney could easily use as a means of making more money as it would require another attorney fee, but was pleasantly surprised to find that everything was handled on the same day for a very reasonable fee. (I couldn't have made the trip for the amount I paid him) In the end, I was able to pay my fines and move on with my life. Jad is a no-nonsense straight shooter, who was willing to aggressively stand up for my side of the story and was not intimidated by the prosecutor or the angry and unreasonable officer, which is exactly the kind of attorney YOU want to represent you. Jad called me immediately after court to tell me my results and I appreciated that. Based on my personal experience, I highly recommend Jad Sarsour and FirstPoint Law Group, in Northern Virginia and the DC area.

A "Legal Angel": Simply the BEST EVER Criminal Defense Lawyer

The first time I met with Mr. Jad Sarsour I knew that he would be the one attorney that would salvage my case and clear my name. I had never committed a crime in my 57 years and had a clean record until I was falsely charged with felony domestic violence. My first attorney brought my case through sev...eral court proceedings in the previous 4 months with each step costing me more money and little evidence of progress. Although Mr. Sarsour did not have access to the complete file on my case, he was quickly able to build a strong argument by reviewing the most pertinent information on file and by a thorough interview with me. In a single, brief meeting with the Commonwealth Attorney, he presented my case and was able to get the charge dismissed and my record completely cleared. This was despite my having wasted valuable time with my first attorney leaving Mr. Sarsour only 2 weeks to get up to speed and prepare his argument, getting my case dismissed just 3 days before the jury trial date. I found him to be very forthcoming as he answered every question I asked and kept me fully informed about every new development, explaining the significance of the more obscure legal points. I believe that Mr. Sarsour is well on his way to building a stellar career in criminal law and that he is a superstar in the making.

I wish we would have found him earlier in our process. Simply the Best of legal Representation

I am very fortunate to have had Jad Sarsour referred to me. Jad represented me in a criminal incident that had extenuating circumstances. Genuinely compassionate, he negotiated an agreement that all but had the charges dropped 100%. I am ecstatic!!! I would definitely recommend The Sarsour Law Firm.... After 36 years of being in business I have retained and worked alongside many attorneys - Jad is right at the top...Not every attorney does rate that well, either. Jad is a no nonsense individual, he will represent you with confidence and still treat you as a person. All throughout the process and afterward – Jad is someone to respect. He is extremely knowledgeable and does not seem to be afraid of the devil!! If you retain Mr. Sarsour just be very thankful that he is working with you and not on the other side!!!

Thankful

Jad Sarsour was phenomenal and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal representation! I went to several different lawyers looking for someone to handle my DWI case. Other lawyers were exorbitantly priced, rude, condescending, knowledgeable and vague about their expectations for my c...ase. I first called Jad's office on referral from a friend. His office said he was in trial, but promptly provided me with his cell phone number to reach him. Jad was able to meet with me the next afternoon and spent more than an hour and a half with me discussing the specifics of my case and the options available to me. He is clearly very experienced and was very patient explaining everything. Jad was a breath of fresh air after other lawyers had been impossible to get a hold of and shoved me out their door as soon as possible. Given his expertise I expected exorbitantly high fees, but his price was more than fair with no hidden or additional costs! Jad was very dedicated in resolving my case and came out with an outstanding "not guilty" verdict. Jad always had a respectful demeanor in court and was easy going on a personal level. He made a brutal process much more bearable. Conversely, I've spoken with several other people who needed legal representation at one time or another and have not yet met one person who was satisfied with their lawyer. Most have terrible horror stories about their experiences and paid thousands of dollars for their disappointment. Don't make the same mistake they did and just settle for any lawyer! Even the people in Jad's office were outstanding. They helped me out with a few unreasonable requests and were always kind and patient. Every time I called they knew me by name and were familiar with my case. I've since referred Jad to my close friends who required legal representation. I have other friends who have used his services in the past and all speak very highly of him. I'm convinced that you simply cannot find more experienced, more knowledgeable, more fair and more dedicated representation in Virginia!
