The absolute best.

Mr Dycio without a doubt is the best lawyer I have ever retained. I was accused by the commonwealth for a variety of criminal and traffic matters that if found guilty would seriously hinder my career and studies. Mr Dycio from our initial meeting left no doubt in my mind that I was in good hands. I c...onsulted with multiple lawyers before meeting with Mr Dycio, some asking almost double what he asked for the same cases. I was not at all looking for a good deal, but for the best attorney. I had been told by many people of Mr Dycios reputation as the best; Mr Dycio personifies everything you expect from an attorney, he will not sugar coat anything, he will not hold your hand. Although he may not be easy to get a hold of, everyone in his office are extremely pleasant to deal with, and ensure messages reach Mr Dycio, he reaches back out personally very promptly. Every question I had for Mr Dysio was answered correctly and professionally, however always with an undertone of "let me do my job" and that is truly all you need to do. Pay Mr Dysio, and sit back. Mr Dysio represented me for 4 cases, and got 4 dismissals. I will never hire another attorney again. Mr Dysio is a legend in the court house, and rightfully so.

Best in the business

Mark Dycio is a fighter and one of the most well connected and well prepared defense attorneys in Northern Virginia. I was arrested for 1st time DUI with what I saw as an open and shut case. BAC was .014 with no prior arrests. Mark was straightforward and upfront on all possible outcomes. He was clea...r on the process and his price and did not pull punches. He will not be the attorney to "hold your hand" through the process but you can rest assured he is working your case diligently during the process. On the trial day, it was clear he understood the process and people involved in prosecuting the case. He knew what to do and when do it and executed my defense flawlessly. While I thought my case was hopeless, his expertise and experience lead to a not guilty verdict. My inexperience in these matters ensured I could not have defended myself in any meaningful manner. The best money spent was hiring Mark. While we never expect our lives to upended like this, most people make mistakes. Mark is there to provide guidance, counsel, and support to ensure your rights as a citizen are protected and he is the best in the business. I would recommend Mark to anyone in need of legal counsel for any reason. He is pitbull when it comes to fighting for his client's rights and due process. Retaining his counsel was one of the best decisions I have ever made. When all seems lost he is there to fight for you and will do the same to all of his clients.

Best Decision of my LIFE!

Mr. Dycio was a life saver. After being charged with a DWI, I thought my life was over. I was almost certain that I would lose my job and my security clearance. However, after having my first consultation I left his office knowing that he would fight for me in court. My case was ultimately dismissed ...due to vast knowledge that Mr. Dycio possesses of the DWI process. I can not say Thank you enough!!!

Best lawyer

Mark Dycio represented me in a case and got me a fair and just decision on a DUI charge. Mark was a bit lacking on the communications side of the house but when it came to game day (which he does all the time and is nothing new to him) he got the results you would expect. Charge reduced and much ...better than the original charge on the table!

Will get you results

I had a possession with intent to distribute and I had it reduced to a misdemeanor trespassing offense. This meant no jail time, no community service, kept my lisence and no drug classes. Mark is not going to walk you through everything though. It was my first time going through a criminal case a...nd I met with him 2 months before my court date. I had no contact with him until my court date in which I didn't see him in court until 2 hours after the judge started all of his hearings. That freaked me out and left me troubled that he had forgot about me. However, the concern turned to relief when he walked in with the cop who pulled me over and explained to me how he fixed everything. Results, results, results. P.S. His firms receptionist isn't very prompt in responding to emails, best to call.

"I am a lawyer with the same practice as Mark. I have observed him in action, in and out of the courtroom, and i am awed by his overall skills. In the courtroom there is none better. Mark knows the law and will never back down to a Judge or a prosecutor in the zealous representation of his clients. When there are legal problems, in my practice, I turn to Mark Dycio. Mark resolves them without hesitation. If I was personally in need of a lawyer I would hire Mark Dycio. He is a lawyer's lawyer, and sometimes a magician!!!"

"I've known Mark professionally for more than 15 years. I can say that he is one of the finest defense attorneys I know. He will fight for you in situations where many others will cave. He is creative with new defenses and uses them to obtain good results. I frequently consult him for a second opinion."

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mark is a highly accomplished and seasoned criminal defense and commercial lawyer. A skillful negotiator and masterful litigator, he comes ready to fight. Mark never shirks from the opportunity to take a case to trial. The demeanor, confidence, and wit he exhibits in the courtroom are impressive. Thinking on his feet is second nature and his instincts are right on. He is adept at challenging evidence and witness, and developing new arguments. It is one thing to win a case with good facts, but "making something out of nothing" in a case with facts not so favorable to your client requires a special set of skills and talent."
