Highly Professional, Results Driven, Ethical

My overall experience as a client was overwhelmingly positive, and I am not saying this because of the ideal outcome of the case being dropped. I say this because John truly demonstrated his professionalism as a competent attorney by walking me through complex situations while clearing up doubt and ...confusion. Simply put, John cared and he was extremely dedicated. Should I need representation again, I will surely know where to go.

DWI to Reckless Driving Conviction

Attorney John Picket was recommended to us by his colleague, and we cannot thank him enough for reducing my father’s conviction from DWI (with .13 BAC) to Reckless driving. During the process, attorney Picket were always direct and honest about the possible outcome of my father’s case. He gave us all... of the options, and the best way to proceed with the case. We certainly made the right decision of trusting his strategy; as a result, my father is not in jail, no interlock device installed, and able to drive freely. Without a doubt I highly recommend him to anyone who are in a similar situation as my father and would not think twice to hire him again if the unfortunate time comes. But I hope my father already learned his lesson  . Thank you… Thank you… Thank you Attorney!

Personable, communicative, and an effective attorney

John Pickett represented me regarding a public intoxication charge in Arlington County. John was incredibly personable and gave me great advice on how to prepare for the case ahead of the court date. John was communicative during the whole process and was responsive to my questions and concerns throu...ghout. Ultimately, John was successful in having the charge dropped. I would sincerely recommend his services to anyone in need of legal representation.
