Exceptional defense attorney

  I cannot praise Attorney Cary Citronberg highly enough for the outstanding legal representation he provided in a recent case. His expertise, dedication, and strategic approach were truly exceptional. From the moment I met him, I felt confident that I was in good hands.   Throughout the entire ...process, Mr. Citronberg demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a thorough knowledge of the legal system. He communicated with us clearly and kept us informed at every step, which helped alleviate much of the stress associated with the situation.   Not only did Mr. Citronberg successfully defend us in court, but he also showed genuine care and support during what was undoubtedly the most difficult time for me and my family. His professionalism, integrity, and commitment to securing the best possible outcome were truly remarkable.   Thanks to Mr. Citronberg’s skillful representation, I achieved a favorable result that exceeded my expectations, and what once was a dream became a reality.   I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Cary Citronberg to anyone in need of a top-notch criminal defense attorney.

Brilliant, ethical and pragmatic, Cary is the best lawyer you could find

Not only is Cary a brilliant legal mind, he is ethical and pragmatic, who will get you the best result possible. He knows the laws as the back of his hand, at the same time, he understands that the system is not always fair. He knows how to proceed with the best outcome, and cares about his clients.... The world is a better place because we have lawyers like Cary.

Simultaneously brilliant and pragmatic, Cary is a first rate lawyer.

Simultaneously brilliant and pragmatic, Cary is a first rate lawyer, who will get you the best result possible. He is incredibly knowledgeable and hard working, with the utmost professionalism. Always extremely well prepared, thorough and competent. He writes with unmatched compelling power, that... moves judges and jury. We were referred to Cary, from multiple sources, after a year and half of incompetent and unethical representation of 2 small Alexandria firms. Cary worked hard to undo the harms caused by the original lawyers, then recast the issue in reasonable terms. We would’ve been in a much worse place had we not fired the previous lawyers and retained Cary. When your life is at stake, seek out Cary!

The Dream Team

I knew immediately upon our initial consultation that my attorney road show had ended. They displayed a comprehensive understanding of the charge I was facing and off the cuff suggested several key mishaps on part of the Commonwealth that several attorneys prior to them failed to see. John has a... gravitas about him that conveys a level of experience which comes from his 45 years litigating high profile cases against the most well funded courts in the World. Cary is extremely polished and sharp as a tack. He knows the penal code as if he wrote it himself and it is clear as to why John selected him to work by his side. If you have found yourself in a difficult legal situation and you are unwilling to settle for anything but the absolute best, look no further. Zwerling/Citronberg will do everything physically possible to earn you a favorable result. They have established professional relationships with the right people in the right places including judges, prosecutors, police officers, K Street private investigators and FBI consultants. They truly are the best team and worth every penny and more.

An excellent experience, I recommend Cary to anyone!

I hired Mr. Citronberg a fews months back, and I have to say I was impressed by his professionalism, and knowledge of his craft. He really put forward all his attention, and delivered excellent results. After everything was said and done, I was very happy with his work, and would sincerely recommend ...his service to anyone. Even the consultation is helpful, as he is very specific in explaining the processes of Law. Its no wonder, Mr. Citronberg, and his team were voted Super lawyers, for the recent years. As a recent client I have to say it was all worth it. Thank you
