David Barr Albo

Dave Albo has been in court approximately three days a week for over 32 years.  So he would be best described as a trial attorney.  People hire Dave to use his nearly three decades of experience in Court and over two decades of experience writing the laws to represent them in Court, protect their rights, and serve as their advocate.  

Here are a few things you may not know about Dave Albo.  

1.  Five time Washingtonian and Northern Virginia Magazine top rated lawyer,

2.  24 year member of the Virginia State Legislature and Chairman of the Virginia House Courts of Justice (Judiciary) Committee, thus he actually wrote or co-authored Virginia’s criminal laws for almost a quarter century.

3.  Selected to teach continuing legal education seminars to other lawyers and judges. Topics included: Evidence, Ethics, Traffic Law, DUI Law, Legislative Updates, and Criminal Defense.

4.  Hundreds upon hundreds of trials under his belt.  In his years as a prosecutor for the City of Fairfax and his 30+ years as a defense attorney, the number of cases he has handled is an estimated 3,000+. Many of these cases actually went to trial, thus Dave Albo gained – not in a class but rather in an actual court room during a trial – hands on real world trial skills, which are difficult to match.

5.  Sought by the national media to comment on the law.  Dave Albo has been featured hundreds times in the national media – such as FOX News, MSNBC, all three local network news shows (NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox), Today Show, Dateline, CNN, Washington Post and the Washington Times, to name a few.

In addition to Traffic and Crimina Court, Dave helps clients with State and Local Government as a lobbyist, and practices Alcohol Beverage Control Law (Dave served as one of the only lawyers on the House of Delegates Sub-committee dealing with alcohol beverage control.  Consequently, he helped write every law that has passed over the past 22 years.  Dave can advise and represent clients in negotiating the often confusing maze of the ABC.  This includes everything from the acquisition of ABC licenses to fighting against its revocation by the ABC.)
