John W. Pickett

I had a public intoxication charge in VA. I searched online and found (3) different defense lawyers to represent my case. Mr Pickett was the most sincere, and energetic. He also explained what likely will happen (both the best and the worst case scenario) in detail, what I need to prepare to bolster ...my case, and the court process in general. He was always prompt in responding my emails. When he did not have time to properly respond, he will acknowledge of my email and let me know that he will respond as soon as he can (never took more than a day though). Not just the result of my case (dropped), but also his service/conduct to his client was exceptional. I recommend Mr Pickett to anyone to at least talk and see what he/she feels. I am certain that everyone will see what I mean. Plus he lays out terms in an understandable everyday English language. He cares.

I hired Mr. Pickett to represent my son who was charged with a felony assault on a police officer and drunk in public. Mr Pickett is very good at communicating all throughout the case keeping us up to date and working with the prosecutors ahead of time to help guide my son. After completing communi...ty service and completing an 4 month outpatient alcohol program Mr Pickett was able to get both charges dismissed for my son! He even explained how we can file for an expungement, if you need an attorney to represent you for criminal charges you will want to choose Mr. Pickett! He has the experience and relationships needed to guide his clients to ensure the best possible outcome!

Mr. John Pickett represented me on two charges * hit & run Felony and fourth DUI Felony (@ BAC 0.18). Mr. John did a fantastic job by getting both charges dropped to reckless driving, 6 month interlock/probation, jail time suspend. Mr. John kept in contact throughout the whole process by call, text o...r email. I couldn't be any happier with the results. 100% recommend The Pickett Law.

I hired John to represent me due to a reckless driving charge. John from the start was very courteous and caring. He advised me from the beginning on how to prepare for my court date. On the day of my court date he was able to knock my reckless driving charge down to a speeding in a work zone. I high...ly recommend the services of John and his law firm.

John is an exceptional attorney. He came highly recommended at a time when I was at my lowest point; being accused and held at an adult detention center during the height of the pandemic. From beginning to end, John was fantastic. He took the time to call and visit with me, asked thoughtful questions... about my case, even went out of his way to work directly with my sister to garner evidence with which to get me out on bail. And after long, contentious months of back-and-forth with the prosecutor’s office, John managed to get the two felony charges against me dropped altogether. Throughout the time that I had engaged him as my attorney, John always made himself readily accessible. Whenever I would reach out to him, I always got a response within a day or two at the most. Moreover, he was always working diligently behind the scenes, sending updates every few weeks. As a result, I never felt the need to worry about how my case was progressing because I always had confidence that it was being handled. More importantly, John brings with him a breadth of knowledge and experience from his time as a former prosecutor. He understands the inner workings of the legal system well, particularly in Fairfax County, and will work with you to explore the best possible, legal outcome for your case. You will not find a better person or attorney to represent you. I have no doubt that had I not had the good fortune of crossing paths with him when I did, my life would have taken a far darker turn. Thank you John, I am forever in your debt.
