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!

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.

Third time's the charm. After two failed attempts with previous attorneys who wanted to do nothing but the bare minimum for me, I continued to look for a results driven attorney. I contacted The Pickett Law Group and retained attorney John W. Pickett. I'm very happy I did. Mr. Pickett was proac...tive and handled my case quickly and efficiently. He reached out to the officer envolved in my case prior to court and my charge was dropped at first court date. I highly recommend Mr. Pickett and his law firm. Many attorneys out there are working on autopilot and just going through the motions. Attorney Pickett is one that cares about your case individually and is able to think outside the box to bring about the best results for you.

John did a fantastic with my case. He quickly responded to any questions I had leading up to the hearing and gave me great guidance on how to prepare. He was very transparent throughout the entire process. At the hearing, John spoke with the arresting officer and was able to have them dismiss the ch...arge pending 6 months of good behavior. I highly recommend John.
