Professonal expertise unexcelled combined with empathy

Faced with a potentially life changing terrible tragic traffic accident we turned to David Alpo to provide legal services. He took our case; he recognized almost immediately on the basis of his extensive experience that the facts and evidence could not justify a felony charge; and he at the trial ob...tained a resolution of our case to our complete satisfaction. Any person requiring legal counsel no matter what the charge can turn to Mr. Albo to take his/her case knowing that he/she will receive experienced, capable, and understanding representation.

Speeding/Reckless Driving

Mr. David Albo is a very responsible and caring individual who stands up to his word. In my case regarding a driving ticket which was imposed upon me by the cop as reckless driving, Mr Albo made sure the penalty is not reckless and just a speeding. In addition, he made sure to attend the court on ...the judgement day, rather than sending his office subordinates. Also, he guided me by giving advice and to check back with him fo make sure it appears as just speeding in my driving record.

DUI, breaking probation

David was attentive and knowledgeable. I received a dismissal of my case and am very happy with his representation.

Professional Attitude

Mr. Albo was everything you look for in a lawyer. I had never ran into any trouble with the law nor had I delt with lawyers prior to getting accused of reckless driving. It was just one of those time when you are focused on other threats on the road and pace yourself off the cars around you. My vehic...le was singled out over the others and I was potentially facing a large fine, loosing my license, and most damaging to my career: a class 1 misdemeanor on my record. Mr. Albo stayed in contact with me leading up to my case. He gathered information that proved very useful in the end. When it came to my day in court he presented said information to the prosecutor and got my entire case dismissed. He was able to recognize that I was a good hearted contributing member of the community and a safe driver and he was able to convey that to the prosecutor. I could not have been more satified with the legal reprisentation that was provided by Mr. Albo and his firm.

100 Percent Recommended

I was charged with Reckless Driving in the state of Virginia going 83mph in a 65mph zone. I retained Albo & Oblon law firm to represent me and was more than satisfied to have David Albo to represent me at my court date. As I had never had any charges against me, especially one as serious as this, I w...as incredibly nervous but Mr. Albo and his team gave me great advice including steps I should take in the time leading up to my court date. Mr. Albo did not give me any misconception of what may or may not happen, telling me to keep in mind that I could get my license suspended or sustain a large legal fee. His honesty was refreshing. With his legal counsel and representation, I was able to keep my perfect driving record and was dismissed of all charges pending that I take a driving course in the state of VA. I recommend him and his firm to anyone that needs honest, sharp, and quick witted counsel.
