I was charged with reckless driving 89/55 in Loudoun County. Unfortunately I didn’t have the greatest driving record before that either which really counted against me. I was recommended to Kassabian and Kassabian by a friend. He was a beyond an amazing lawyer and defended me. John was able help me avoid a reckless driving conviction and reduced it to a speeding ticket. I am beyond greatful to John and would highly recommend him and her services to anyone with a speeding issue or reckless driving. Thank you John!!

I hired Mr. Kassabian to represent me against a drunk in public charge in Fairfax County. Although this was a low-level misdemeanor and my first-ever criminal charge, a conviction could have severely injured my career prospects and professional reputation. Mr. Kassabian explained the General District Court criminal process in depth, gave me a realistic evaluation of likely outcomes, and recommended that I proactively do community service before my first hearing date. On the day of trial, the prosecutor agreed to drop my charges after acknowledging my community service hours. Mr. Kassabian is a consummate professional, and I would recommend his legal services to anybody facing criminal charges in Virginia.

John Kassabian is extremely knowledgeable and approachable. He was able to successfully resolve 2 moving violations (one of those being a reckless charge) incurred in Fairfax County and amend the charges to failure to devote full time and attention. This led to nothing on my record as well as me being able to keep my positive point balance. Throughout the process he was courteous, stayed in contact with me, and guided me to the best possible actions I should take leading up to both cases.He pointed me to places to get my documentation needed for the cases well. I highly recommend him.

I am writing this review for Attorney John Kassabian who represented me in regards to a reckless speeding ticket. John was very professional, knowledgeable and communicated with me through out the process. John was able to reduce the charge from a 6 point to a 3 point violation which was a great achievement considering my past record. I would highly recommend John Kassabian for any traffic violation.

I hired Mr. Kassabian after being referred to him by a family friend for a reckless ticket that i had acquired. He was extremely professional and courteous and actually cared about me as a person and not just as a client. He was with me every step of the way and if I had hired any other lawyer I would have more than likely been facing possible jail time. I would recommend Mr. Kassabian in a heartbeat.

I was recommended by my colleagues to hire Mr. John Kassabian. After speaking to Mr. John I felt confident that I made the best decision to hire him. Getting a traffic ticket, dealing with insurance and appearing in court is a stressful process as it consumes lot of time. Mr. John guided me all the way and I have no demerit on my ticket now. I am so much thankful to him. I will recommend him to any one who need a lawyer.
