Excellent and Knowledgeable Service

Mr. Pritchard helped me with my traffic cases in Fairfax County and got me a very favorable outcome. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone. Also, his office staff (Mrs. Brown), is very helpful with any questions you may have and keeping you in the loop about your case.

OPM allegation on background

I retained Michael Pritchard for the purpose of representing me in a OPM suitability allegation. I provided him with all the information that I had dating back several years. Mr Pritchard conducted an in-depth analysis of all the information. Conducted legal research on based on the allegations aga...inst me. He prepared a very detailed argument against their allegation with a very detailed backing. Once he completed the appeal he sent it to me for review & approval. I quickly approved his well documented appeal & moved forward with the process. After a waiting period, I received notice that my appeal was determined "favorable"!! Without Mr Pritchard's assistance I'd likely be stuck on the outside looking in... I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Pritchard to anyone in need of legal assistance!!

Stand up lawyer

Excellent lawyer. Polite, respectful, and knowledgeable. Works fast to save time out of your day. Worked with prosecutor to bring down reckless driving charge to failure to obey highway sign on account of my clean driving record and no priors. Highly recommend.

A Talented Fighter Who Will Be In Your Corner

Pritchard was incredible in addressing my problems and ensured that the opposing party was exposed for the criminal that he was.

Michael Todd Pritchard

I have known Mike personally and professionally for the past nine years. I have been a legal consultant on a variety of cases handled by him. I have referred many cases to him for his professionalism of knowledge, wisdom, poise, work ethic, and customer service. Mike has always been a quick study ...to any new issue. He has an impressive track record with positive results. We have worked on a myriad of criminal cases involving, but not limited to,white collar crimes such as mortgage fraud, bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud, defense contractor fraud, criminal alien deportation, narcotics offenses, RICO, juvenile crimes, etc. In the civil arena, Mike has worked on domestic cases, trust and estate issues, federal and state employment discrimination, harassment, unlawful termination cases, and traffic accident/injury cases. He has also worked on the scope of traffic cases including DWI/DUI, reckless driving, etc. Mike is a consummate professional that enjoys the trust and respect from his clients as well as other professionals in the legal field. As a friend, Mike has always been there for me when any crises crosses my path for family and friends. He is very reasonable in everything that he does. Without any reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Mike's professional services to anyone needing a competent professional that will work for the client's best interest. He will always give his best efforts. He will always be honest in his opinions and dealings with his clients.

"I worked with Mike through our formative years, and the longer I did, the more I was convinced that I wouldn't want anyone else as a partner in practice - he's a highly respected and implicitly trusted colleague, and a solid counsel and advocate for his clients. I'm no longer in private practice, so I entrust my former clients and friends to his care through a range of practiice areas."
