Top Defense Attorneys in the DMV ...

I would like to recommend Nova Legal Group for their outstanding services. I got the opportunity to be represented by this firm for a serious traffic charge and the lawyer worked to get the charges dropped to a $25 fine. The second time , I was financially strapped to pay my legal bills but he work...ed with me and still got my case dropped to improper driving. That is why he deserves a 5 Star rating for their outstanding services.

Nova Legal Group - Attorney O Keith Hallam Jr (Simply the best law firm and par excellence lawyer)

Starting from the initial contact with Attorney O Keith Hallam Jr and his law firm that is Nova Legal Group, I found them more than lawyers. They clearly own you and your problem as their own problem to settle it in most amicable manner. The larceny case in US Federal District Court against me and my... wife was handled by Attorney Hallam in a way that they got it dismissed in totality. Mr Hallam not only took on the case for me but also coordinated to arrange the best attorney for my wife as well. He remained proactive and engaged the prosecutor with great wisdom for dismissal of the case. Throughout the legal process, he kept me up to date on all likely legal situations with best legal solutions. I attribute the dismissal of charges against me to professional wisdom of Attorney O Keith Hallam Jr and his law firm, Nova Legal Group. I must mention that Attorney Hallam Jr has been fully ethical in his dealing and charged minimal fee for his services, he has been extremely considerate in this regard as well. Thankful for your support and unflinching resolve to help me in this difficult time.

Criminal Defense Attorney

From the beginning this firm has always been very professional and they have always been very responsive to my emails and calls in a very timely manner. I handed them a complicated case and John Spurlock along with the rest of the legal team got me the greatest outcome that I could ever ask for. Even... when the prosecutor was trying to give a harsher judgement to the judge my attorney never gave up and fought even harder. This firm is the best and they even have a payment plan. I did my research on other firms and I went with this company because I wanted the best and this company excited my expectations. I highly recommend this company.

Over Promise, Under Deliver

In August of 2016, I begin looking for legal representation for a case. I got the opportunity to do a free legal consultation over the phone with Keith Hallam. He was very knowledgeable, and thorough with my legal matter. I was very confident with his practice and he assured me that it was a 98% chan...ce he could beat my case especially if I did all of my homework. From there I still decided to shop around in which I met up with 3 other Lawyers. After hearing them all out, I decided to hire Keith Hallam even though his prices were significantly Higher. I completed all of my homework and felt good about my decision. On the day of my case I met with a James Simons from Nova Legal group (Keith Hallam’s law firm) whom knew little to nothing about my case. I then had to explain to him details about my case minutes before my trial. He was unprepared and lacked confidence that he could get the outcome that Keith Hallam assured. Not only was I convicted but I also did jail time. I didn’t prepare my employer for this outcome (98%) so I ended up losing my job as well. With an abundance of knowledge of criminal cases combined with good ole fashion puffing makes Keith Hallam a great salesperson for his services. Unfortunately, I would much rather him Under promise and over deliver and leave the puffing to the sales people.

Trustworthy & Experienced Attorney

I faced a serious felony charge of drug possession last year and I spoke to many defense attorneys who quoted much higher rates well above my means. Mr. Hallam was the first and only attorney in the NOVA region who gave me a run down of the possible outcomes and what he could do to help. He was sympa...thetic of my fears of being convicted and I wholeheartedly trusted him with my case. Before my court date, Mr. Hallam offered valuable advice and was always available to talk on the phone (even calling me back after hours) to answer my questions. He is clearly an intelligent, hardworking lawyer who think outside of the box in legal arguments and strategies while upholding ethical standards. I followed Keith's advice by completing my community service, obtaining letters of recommendation, taking drug tests, and attending drug education courses. In the end, Mr. Hallam was able to negotiate with the prosecutor on my behalf and my charges have finally been dismissed. I am eternally grateful for Mr. Hallam's help during this difficult time of my life. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney, you will not regret contacting Mr. Hallam. He is simply the best and knows the court system inside and out. The law office offers flexible payment plans and Mr. Hallam is usually available in the afternoons after court. I have also spoken to Mr. Hallam's associates who were all very helpful and courteous.
