Workers Compensation 40%

Experience matters in handling workers' compensation cases and having an experienced attorney on your side gives you the best chance of getting the best result. Work injuries can last a lifetime; so get the benefits you deserve.

38 years

40%
Criminal Defense 25%

Any 1st or 2nd class misdemeanor carries the possibility of significant jail time. Take them seriously. Having an experienced lawyer gives you the best chance of getting the best result available.

38 years

25%
DUI and DWI 20%

These are very technical cases. Even if you think you are guilty the prosecutor has the burden to prove it, and may not be able to do so. Convictions carry a wide range of potential punishments; so put an Experience Lawyer on your side.

38 years

20%
Personal Injury 10%

I've been handling personal injury cases for 30+ years. I've even successfully handled extremely complex P.I. cases with multiple defendants and multiple defense lawyers. I'm now selective about the cases I take, but call me.

38 years

10%
Expungement 5%

Unfortunately, in Virginia convictions can not really be expunged. If you were found not guilty or the charge was dismissed, however, then the record of your arrest can potentially be expunged. Call me to talk about your situation.

Outstanding Attorney — Highly Recommended

Ned Michie is an exceptional attorney who combines legal expertise, professionalism, and genuine dedication to his clients. He was highly recommended to our family by two respected attorneys in Northern Virginia, and he certainly lived up to their recommendations. Throughout the entire process..., Ned demonstrated excellent judgment, clear communication, and a thoughtful, strategic approach. He was responsive, reassuring, and attentive to every detail, making what could have been a stressful experience remarkably smooth. As a physician, I particularly appreciate professionals who combine technical expertise with integrity, sound judgment, and a personal commitment to those they serve. Ned exemplifies all of these qualities. I would recommend Ned Michie without hesitation to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation. We are truly grateful for his guidance and the excellent outcome.

Ned is efficient and reliable

Ned is a very good communicator, sets clear expectations about your case and never makes you wait long for a response email. He gives excellent advice when it comes to creating your best case, and works the actual trial with ease. I recently got tagged going 65 in a 45 on 29 and he got the case c...ompletely dropped for me. As a UVA student I would highly recommend Ned.

Honest and professional

I can't speak more highly of Attorney Michie. He was honest and thorough. He explained the legal process and the potential outcomes of our case. He answered all of my questions, and I had many of them. He got back to me in a timely fashion, both through email and text. Ned got the best possible outco...me, one that I never even thought was a possibility. He is knowledgeable, professional, and a top-notch lawyer to work with.

Ned is not only a great attorney, but a kind man. He cares about the people he represents, listens intently, and works for the best result. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and dependable for the myriad cases he works with. He handled my case with such grace, and is the most realistic and deserving ...attorney I've ever met.
