Saved my career!

I was charged with felony computer crimes and Mr. Furlong fought every charge and even got my computers back. Judge praised him in court. He cost me money but saved my career and family. This is the guy to call when when everything is on the line. Knew more law than the prosecutor in court.

Ver patient and understanding

He was recommended by another lawyer and was outstanding in service and time he spent explaining the law and procedure. He met us after hours and was very patient in providing answers to me and my family. I was scared but he walked me through each court hearing and answered my mother's questions too.... Other lawyers walked away from their clients after the hearings but he stayed and talked to my whole family. Just a wonderful man to have on your side.

Down-to-earth straight shooter - charge reduced

We are from out of state and hired Mr. Furlong after an exhaustive Internet search of the top criminal defense lawyers in Virginia. My daughter had a Reckless Driving charge (misdemeanor with jail time in Virginia) and Mr. Furlong analyzed the police radar equipment and found out something wrong with... the tuning forks which got the judge to throw out the high speed. He got the charge reduced to just defective equipment which carries no points. He's a former police officer and knew how the radar gun needed to work. Regular guy to talk to who gives it to you straight with no B.S. I interviewed other lawyers but they either said they would just "try hard" or that there plan was to show up and just "argue". Mr. Furlong had a strategy, gave us homework to prepare for court and answered our questions, even on the weekends. I would definitely hire this attorney again if I had a Virginia criminal case. Other lawyers quoted lower fees but he answered all my questions over the phone without the hassle of an office visit (hard since I'm out of state).I liked that he knew the prosecutors and judges and gave us a realistic view of what to expect in court. He also arrived early, unlike other attorneys who were late and whose clients ran around looking for them. If you get in trouble in Virginia I strongly suggest you hire this lawyer. He saved my daughter's career.

Won my DUI case! He believed Me!

I was arrested for a DUI leaving Fair Oaks Mall but I was not drunk. I had a few drinks with friends but knew I was not a drunk driver. I talked to another lawyer who said I should plead guilty and did not seem to want to fight it. But Mr. Furlong believed me and showed me all the stuff the police n...eed to do for drunk tests and what he used when he was a policeman. We went to trial and he won the case! I'm like so happy!! I defintiely recommend him, especially if you hear there's nothing you can do.

Best Lawyer Ever! Former Cop knows the ropes!

My friends and I got busted for drugs and my family hired Furlong (I had been busted before but wanted different lawyer cuz others didn't do much). Furlong found new evidence and argued in court about what police could do and ripped the labratory guy. Cop got all mad on the witness stand. I got off b...ut friends found guilty. They wished they hired Furlong now! Basically he like tried really hard and saved me from a major prison thing and no felony!
