Best Defender! Extremely thorough, knowledgeable

Actually he was court appointed/pro bono, and was amazing. My previous lawyer was strongly recommending I take a plea for something I didn't do. Then in court based on his opening argument I dismissed said attorney, and Judge recused himself and set me up with David Albo. I went into his office, h...e listened, he laid out the possibilities, worst to best scenarios, and the best scenario happened. I never had to appear in court again and charges were dropped with prejudice. So if that was my experience as someone who had no money at the time just having come back from military. Can only imagine his service where he is billing the work. No shock that he had all these 5 stars, it's what I'd have expected.

Helped make a stressful situation stress-free with the best possible outcome!

After getting a ticket for going over 80 mph on the Dulles Toll Road in VA, which is a major offense in that state, a friend recommended I contact and retain Dave to represent me in this case. I cannot be happier that I listened to my friend. Dave was very easy to work with: he explained the charges,... told me what I would need to do, and about all the potential outcomes. He was also helpful when I told him that I would not be able to attend my hearing date as I would be out of the country at that time. Ultimately, we worked with the prosecutor and got my charges reduced to regular speeding (going 74) and a fine. Again, I could not be happier with the outcome. I would recommend Dave to anyone else who has to go through this stressful process!!

Thanks to Mr. David Albo

I'm being a very careful driver but unfortunately got the reckless driving ticket and had to appear before the court. I was in total panic and stressed out as this was my first such incident in my long driving history. But luckily one of my friend referred me to Mr. David Albo, who was his past clien...t. When I talked to him on phone and met him in his office, he sound very knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and very clear about the system and how this thing will be taken care of. Actually he assured me 90% of the outcome but finally got me 100%. My charge reduced to improper driving with $100 fine, a total relief. I was totally relaxed and happy and many thanks to Mr. David Albo for getting this. I would definitely recommend my friends to Mr. David Albo.

Worth Every Penny.

I had what most would consider a minor charge but it could of potentially cost me my career. Thanks to David Albo it didn't. He was very upfront and told me there were no guarantees. In court he was the most confident person in the room. He put me at ease and his knowledge and experience showed. ... He worked his magic and my case was dismissed with community service. Thanks again Dave.

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.
