Case Dismissal

Mr. Hollingsworth successfully accomplished the desired results for my son’s case - case dismissed. Early on he informed us of possible outcomes while trusting my son’s statement of what occurred. Dealing with the court system about a criminal case is something that was foreign to us and so surreal... but Mr. Hollingsworth took good care of us and reassured us along the way. I am overjoyed of the results of my son’s case and would definitely recommend him as your counsel.

A Real Lifesaver

We hired this law firm based on a recommendation of our friend who is also a lawyer. We needed answers in the very late night and they actually were there to help us. Mr Hollingsworth knows so many people in the area and has great rapport with everyone that problems are quickly solved. We got the h...elp we needed late at night. He explained everything that we needed to know. He was so relaxed in court and made us all feel so much more at ease. We never worried or had any unanswered questions. Our family is really greatful for his services. It was so great to have worked with him.

Thanks for the great job

Just wanted to thanks for the great job Mike did as my lawyer. With out him i would never have gotten through this. I am so grateful that i picked the right lawyer like him in such a bad situation. From the beginning mike was understanding and willing to listen my situation which gave me c...onfident and knew he is the one who can handle my case. I was charged with misdemeanor of 8 counts in prince william county, Virginia. I was so stressed out that i will not be able to get the second chance, however mike make it happen. All my counts dissmissed, nolle presqui. Mike is honest and proffessional . i appreciate all he has done for me, i am glad that i finally can put it all behind, thanks to his legal assistance( gayna) she was very kind and helpful!!! Again, iwant to thank him and his team for doing an amazing job!!! God bless!!!

Fantastic Job with my DUI Case

I hired Mr. Hollingsworth in June of 2017 to help me through my DUI charge in Prince William County. Mr. Hollingsworth and his staff were great throughout the entire process and really made sure that everything was done in my best interest. This was my first time having any legal issues and I was rea...lly worried/stressed and did not really trust the process. That said, Mr. Hollingsworth and his team did everything to satisfy all my relentless questions and also worked to really build my trust. I was not just another case number and I very much appreciated that. The outcome of my case was also fair and incorporated some personal needs that helped me to stay in school and finish my exams while I also met court requirements. Mr. Hollingsworth really fought for me but also made sure that I had realistic expectations going into every portion of the criminal process. I was very well prepared and this helped to ease any anxieties that I had. I more than appreciated his expertise and his experience level in these matters and if anything ever happens again (which I hope it does not) I would not think a second thought before I again hired Mr. Hollingsworth to represent me.
