An Extremely Satisfied Client

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 o...f 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!

Former Client

My life changed forever on a January day in 2010 when I was falsely accused by one of my elementary school students of serious misconduct. There were two stunning criminal charges made against me, both felonies, that could have resulted in me being imprisoned for as long as 40 years. During the ear...ly phases of this process I used two different lawyers, but they could not stop the legal juggernaut of the school district for which I worked, the local police department and a child protective services office. Two separate lie detector tests administered by FBI-trained specialists early in the legal process showed I was speaking truthfully but they were summarily dismissed by the prosecutor. Then, at the lowest moment of my ordeal and perhaps of my life, my mom suggested that I talk with Peter Greenspun about representing me. Peter is well known in legal circles in Northern Virginia; he has a reputation for taking on the toughest cases with the most severe of penalties for defendants if he is not successful. I met with Peter and talked about my situation and he agreed to represent me in my case. As it turns out, this was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Peter is a no-nonsense attorney who demonstrates relentless energy and determination when representing his clients. He heads an office with very experienced and capable associates and paralegals. Peter exudes calm confidence and certainty and he has a great wealth of legal experience and extensive contacts throughout the criminal justice system in Virginia. About five months after I was accused of the inappropriate contact with one of my students, a three-day criminal trial was held in the Circuit Court. Peter expertly cross-examined witnesses for the prosecution and orchestrated a very convincing strategy with numerous defense witnesses that resulted in two unanimous not guilty findings by a jury. Such was the effectiveness of Peter’s efforts that the jury’s deliberations lasted less than 40 minutes before they acquitted me of both of the very serious charges against me. Peter Greenspun is “the real deal” when it comes to proactive, aggressive criminal defense. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone in need of a stout defense and I make this recommendation of Peter without any reservations.
