John W. Pickett

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.

I can't say enough good things about John. I retained him my son's DWI case and he was AWESOME! Very attentive and responsive to every questions and concern. He was on top of everything! He listened, asked good questions and made sure we understood all possible outcomes. A really straight forward Att...orney, but really made us feel confident that we made the correct choice. My son and I are extremely happy we went with John was our attorney.

John was an outstanding resource and advocate throughout the whole process. Moreover, he was very personable and great to work with. I reached out when I wasn't able to get a continuance for my case and was going to be out of town on the date of my hearing. He listened to my statement, walked me thro...ugh all of my options and potential outcomes, and helped me prioritize our approach. He was very communicative during the preparation and texted as soon as the hearing was over - he got the charges dismissed! Hopeful that I don't need representation again, but wouldn't go to anyone else.
