Misdemeanor

Ryan was extremely thorough, informative and persistent in my misdemeanor defense charge. He was able to diffuse any anxiety that was built up after the charge and successfully dismissed the case. Would 100% recommend hiring Ryan in any future legal disputes.

THE best negotiator ever!

Mr. Ryan Probasco was very helpful, knowledgeable, and simply an amazing negotiator. His talent kept me out of jail!!! I'll repeat, HIS TALENT KEPT ME OUT OF JAIL!!! He successfully negotiated the best terms and kept me calm throughout this nervous months-long process. I know what I did was very very... very wrong and I am VERY VERY VERY SORRY for what I did. It could have been much much worse. Mr. Ryan Probasco went above and beyond to struck the best deal which ultimately KEPT ME OUT OF JAIL. On a personal note, most importantly, through time, he inspired me to be a better citizen, be courteous to others, and not to dwell on negativity - which is a sure way to end up where I was: in front of a jail cell. Highly recommend him and only him for all your judicial needs. His business card is in my wallet, he is number ONE on my speed dial - just an extraordinary individual, very smart lawyer and THE best negotiator ever!

A thorough and thoughtful attorney

Mr. Probasco worked on a misdemeanor case for my family. He has a very calm nature which helps reassure clients. He picked apart various issues and looked at them from every angle. He was very impressive in the courtroom. He and the other attorneys in Pikrallidas & Associates did a great job on o...ur case resulting in the best possible outcome!

Defense of Reckless Driving Charge

I chose Pikrallidas & Associates between 2 law firms that I contacted. They were easy to communicate with, relating terms and options to a serious traffic violation charge. Ryan Probasco is a confident, knowledgeable attorney who was respectful to my time and my interests. As counsel, he advised t...hat we not settle with the Prosecutor's offer, and move to a trial instead. Trial date brought two subpoenaed witnesses and a prosecutor unwilling to reduce the charge to my satisfaction. Mr. Probasco successfully argued with the Prosecutor, prior to Trial, that our case to dismiss was relevant. The Prosecutor then reduced the charges, which resulted in zero points and assignment of court costs. We accepted. After reviewing and accepting the amended charges, the Trial Judge offered a simple summary statement to Mr. Probasco - "Well done". I agree! The Pikrallidas law firm proved in action, what I perceived in advance. I highly recommend both the firm and the attorney.

Controlled Substance Possession

Mr. Probasco was able to get my controlled substance charges dropped in Fairfax County. He proved that the police did not have probable cause to stop my vehicle and had in fact acted irrationally in immediately pulling me out of the car. He was also able to prove that they did not have reasonable sus...picion to seize and search my locked cellphone or open the trunk of my car to find a small amount of a controlled substance. He worked tirelessly to advocate for me, constantly pressing the lawyers until their fabricated story fell apart in court. Not only did he get the charges dropped, he also advised me on how best to be safe and what personal practices I needed to drastically change to prevent future legal situations. He also helped clarify some of my false beliefs about Virginia State laws. My experience with Mr. Probasco wasn't just simple resolution of a case, but really the foundation of a new attorney-client relationship. I have spoken highly of him to any of my friends that were aware of my legal situation and look forward to consulting with him on future legal matters.
