I had 6 Felony charges from a false accusation that was one of those "How do you disprove a negative" kind of case. I was recommended to Peter Greenspun from another attorney to provide a sanity check to my then defense preparations. After talking with him I made the choice to change lawyers and retain his firm as it was clear from the conversation that his goal from the start was to do everything he could to never let my case go to trial if possible. Juries are both good and bad - once you get in front of one, it may not matter how good your defense is, you could still be found guilty for any number of factors outside of your control. Peter Greenspun and his team of professionals organized every bit of information available about my case - from witness testimony, medical records, to discovery provided by the authorities - they fully documented my history and background. I had to do a lot of "homework" to help make sure he had as much information as he needed to understand and be ready for anything that came at him from the prosecution. To his credit (and yours if you retain him) he has an excellent reputation with the Courts, being well known for his depth of knowledge of the Law, and his professionalism. He lives by the mantra of preparing for the worst, but planning for the best outcome - not just hoping for it. In the end, my case was dismissed with prejudice at trial, in no small part because of his excellent knowledge of, and how to use every aspect of the Law to his client's advantage. I would highly recommend Peter Greenspun to anyone looking for one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Northern Virginia - because he is.

I had five felony charges hanging over my head. After fighting relentlessly with my initial attorney, the best result was to plea to 3 felonies. With the recommendation of my first attorney. I hired Peter D Greenspun firm to represent me. Well, from day one Peter told me we were going to fight. He was very hard on me to ensure no stone was left unturned. To me, Peter was like a father fighting for his son through the entire case. The level of professionalism, commitment, dedication and most importantly knowledge of the legal system is unparalleled. The good news was Peter got all my charges dropped. He didn't settle for anything less. That is the result a father will want for his son. Thanks Peter. I highly recommend this attorney.

I was referred to Mr. Greenspun by a friend. Mr. Greenspun is professional, caring, and easy to speak to. I was facing very serious felony charges. Every single day for the past six months, that was all I had on my mind. I was afraid that I would be going to jail for a very long time. On the day of my trial, I was scared. When he told me that the charges were dropped, I was in complete shock. I couldn’t believe it was finally over. Sometimes it seems that lawyers aren't doing much, however, in Mr. Greenspun’s case, they're working harder than what we realize. It’s a trying time in our life but we need to be patient. He and his staff did an awesome job from the day I visited and hired them. Mr. Greenspun is Responsive, Reliable, Competent, Empathetic and an Excellent attorney, with your best interest in mind. The staff is caring and serve their clients with a high-end approach. I don't have the words to express my gratitude to you Mr. Greenspun. Thank you for everything you and your staff have done for me and my family. I would highly recommend Mr. Greenspun.

If you need help with a criminal charge this is the law firm to hire. Never in my life did I expect to be in such a horrible position in the criminal justice system. I was arrested and held without bond for a felony and misdemeanor charge. Within hours of my wife contacting Peter and Muhammad they began working on getting me released. They were successful in getting me released the next day. They worked very closely with me and listened to everything I had to tell them. Peter asked numerous questions and made me feel at ease during the entire process. At no time did I feel like I was just another client they were simply collecting money from. During every step they kept me informed of what was going on, the conversations they had with the prosecutor, email traffic, etc. Peter also set very real expectations and didn't promise anything, yet at the same time still ensured me that he would do everything in his power. Peter is well known throughout the NOVA area and his reputation is well known. One of the things I really appreciated about working with Peter is that he never tried to force me to do anything, take any deals or pleas that I wasn't comfortable with. He always gave me options and let me make the decision with pros and cons for each decision. With a plea agreement on the table I still elected to go to trial. Peter was prepared. There was a lot of back and forth immediately before the trial and Peter was never once hesitant in doing this. I was facing 10 years for the felony and some more time for the misdemeanor. Peter understood all of this and was more than comfortable going to trial, especially given the circumstances of what transpired. In the end within 5 minutes of the trial starting the trial was stopped and Peter and the prosecutor left the courtroom, came back 5 minutes later and the case was dismissed. The professionalism Peter and his firm displayed is top notch. I hope to never use them again but if for some reason I have to I won't take a millisecond to think about who I'm going to call. Thank you Peter and Muhammad for all you've done for me and my family. I am grateful for you and giving us our life back.

Choosing to retain Anastasia at the law firm of Greenspun Shapiro for the purpose of handling a motion to amend my probation was a great choice. She was wonderful to work with, warm and caring, and always very responsive even during the holiday season. I will definitely keep her in mind for any future legal assistance needs.

From the start, I knew Peter was the right choice. I met with he and Muhammad and they immediately asked all the right questions and proceeded with focused advice. Peter had to navigate both the court and the media for me, reminding me often what should and should not be responded to. I never once felt unprepared for court appearances or questioned what would happen before the judge. He always prepared me for everything. He is sublimely knowledgeable, extraordinarily prepared...he is simply the best.

One of the hardest things I had to do in my life was to choose a defense attorney for my brother criminal case as he was in no shape to do it for himself. During this time I met with few different Law firms. However, when I met with Peter, I got really impressed by him for being very patient in listening to my brother’s condition. Me and my family were also very impressed by his past cases. After listening to everything, Peter gave us very realistic goals and advice. Peter and his associate,Muhammad provided us with excellent legal advice and guidance to my brother and our family for the case. We are really thankful to Peter Greenspun for all he and his team did for us. Throughout the trial period he and his team stayed in communication with my brother and our family. And explained what was going on with trial every step of the way. He and his team worked tirelessly and one of the thing that really impressed me was he was prepared and thought all different angles of the case. In short, after hiring peter and his team we felt like we hired the right lawyer for my brother’s case. They were very effective and were there for my brother every step of the way. They got the result my brother and I was looking and this would have not been possible without Peter, Muhammad and support of his team. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone in need of legal advice

I've known Peter and Anastasia for years, had a unique traffic violation come up recently and they handled it for me. Very professional and caring, knowing I had them to handle it for me made it much less stressful. Would highly recommend for any legal issues whether small or large.

I am extremely thankful to have had Peter Greenspun represent me during a terrifying and stressful time in my life. With a murder allegation in front of me, no criminal record, and no experience with the legal system, I was in despair. Before Peter, I was working with another “good” lawyer, but it soon became clear to me that Peter is of a different caliber. He came to meet with me while I was in jail on a Sunday evening and I was immediately impressed with his sense of urgency, work ethic, and approach to my circumstance. He was not able to focus attention to my case immediately as he was busy working hard on another client’s trial– nonetheless, he had another attorney from his firm, Anastasia Kranias, come to see me shortly after I made the decision to hire him and she got the ball rolling on my defense right away. The first order of business was getting bond, which Peter did successfully after my first attorney could not. While this was an uphill battle, Peter did his homework before the bond hearing- although he had a short period of time to review my case, he had already become acquainted enough with it to rebut every single one of the Commonwealth’s opposition points plus more, he had done his research on my personal history, and he was able to cite a decent list of prior relevant cases. Soon after, Peter had to fight through another obstacle as the Commonwealth appealed the judge’s bond decision. Thanks to Peter’s strong response, the court of appeals decided not to revoke my bond. Through 2 continuances and a 2 week trial, I consistently experienced the same from Peter- he worked tirelessly, he was thorough, he was tenacious, he was prepared- thinking of everything from all different angles. I believe he had my best interest in mind as there were many occasions he could have taken short cuts, but did not. There were times when he could have simply acted on my decisions, probably poor ones made from being emotionally and mentally drained or simply being frightened, but he took the time to help me think clearly- somehow this seemed to always happen towards the end of the day when he could have been enjoying dinner with his family or getting some rest, perhaps. Several times I sat in his office and he advised me in the same manner my own father would have advised me -with the addition of many years of experience as a defense attorney. Most importantly, Peter is effective. I was acquitted of all charges and a heavy weight has been lifted from my chest – this would not have been possible without Peter, Anastasia and their support team.

Based on my personal experience, I can say without a doubt, Peter Greenspun is the best and most effective criminal defense attorney anybody could ever want or ask for! (I can honestly say this is the real life attorney “Perry Mason” would hire if he ever needed one.) Add to this a support staff of attorneys, assistants and office staff I experienced that are as professional and resourceful as Peter is…a big reason this law firm was so successful in defending me against three serious felonies I was charged with in 2014. And each of these three felonies carried the threat of serious, long lasting and devastating consequences. I can truthfully say all of this without hesitation or reservation after both Peter and his supporting attorney, Misha Lopez, defended me in 2015 during a difficult 3 ½ day jury trial where I was found “not guilty” of all three felony counts.… a result I don’t believe any other attorney could have accomplished! Thank heavens, I found Peter wasn’t the type of lawyer to throw me under the bus for a quick plea agreement and a quick buck like so many others. He turned out to be my fulfillment of the ideal defense attorney; one who invested lots of careful, detailed legwork and preparation to represent me shrewdly and aggressively, fought for my innocence with all of his ability and experience, which I found to be unparalleled, and his determination left no stone unturned to successfully defend me. I remember when I first met Peter, I asked why I should hire him instead of any other lawyer, and he said to me I would find hiring him to be the best money I ever spent…and he was absolutely right! I can only express from the bottom of my heart the sincerest appreciation possible to Peter and his legal team for their outstanding legal representation!
