Fake protective order
Dismissed the case. I highly recommend him he is excellent. Husband put fake protective order on me stating i put bleach in his cpap machine then tried to play the jurisdiction game. Mr Del Rio was not having it. The judge dismissed the case because husband thinks he is a moor aboriginal and not a citizen. If you get a lawyer please hire Mr Del Rio.

Felony abduction
I hired Mr. DelRio to defend my son against a felony abduction charge. The first thing I would like to note is his availability. He answered our call on a weekend when all of the others we contacted waited until Monday to return our calls. My wife and I met him in his office in a Sunday afternoon and explained the situation. He listened intently and after hearing the facts of the case, he assured us that this case was winnable. He was very diligent about getting all of the discovery from the prosecutor. Two days before the trial, he called to let us know that the State was going to recommend dismissal of the charges!! Needless to say, I would highly recommend Mr DelRio. He will work hard in your defense and having experience as a magistrate, he is very well connected and knows both sides of the justice system.

DUI conviction
I made a huge mistake and drove home from a holiday work party after having a few drinks. I was pulled over for speeding and charged with DUI, which in the state of Virginia, often requires mandatory jail time. Being that I'm the father of two young kids and run a small business, I could NOT afford to be locked up for 5 days... should've thought about that before I got behind the wheel, trust me, I know. Regardless, the Saturday morning following my arrest, Mr. Del Rio answered my phone call, while other lawyers gave me their voicemail and waited days to respond. I was extremely appreciative of his availability and assurance he would do everything in his power to help me out, right away. From day one, he provided honest answers to all of my questions and always gave me the facts. The he went to work and did everything he could to ensure I received the best results possible. While I still received a DUI, he worked his magic, got the charge and sentence reduced, and was able to keep me out of jail. I consider this a huge win and would hire Mr. Del Rio again in a heartbeat. Not just because of the results, but how he handles his clients and how hard I believe he works for them.

Outstanding Service with Excellent Results.
I had been falsely accused of shoplifting at a major grocery store. I contacted a couple of law firms before contacting Mr. Abraham Del Rio, and found them arrogant and very expensive. I contacted Mr. Abraham Del Rio III after researching his profile and being impressed by his resume. I explained my situation and he listened with empathy. He was very professional and made me feel very comfortable right away. He was very understanding of the situation, and never once made me feel like he wasn't interested or that this was just another case. He made me feel like this was just as important to him as it was to me. Mr. Del Rio reassured me that he would do what he could to make this as painless as possible, but also stated from the beginning, that from his experience of past cases he felt there wasn't enough proof for a conviction, but we couldn't go on that alone and needed to be prepared to go to trial. He replied to my e-mails and calls in a timely manner. My case was dismissed due to lack of proof. I would recommend Mr. Del Rio for anyone who's facing a criminal charge. Sincerely, Maria

1 is as low as I can get
I met with Abraham on a Saturday in reference to my daughter for felony child endangerment charges based on her medically induced opioid addiction and having an accident. Children were not hurt. He explained the law and our options. None were perfect but he seemed educated on the law and agreed to take the case. Is been over a week and he is yet to respond to my calls or texts. I've requested to cancel our contract and he still will not respond. Thank God I never sent him any money. He is the worst excuse for an attorney I have ever heard of our experiences. Which are few. If you have an easy case... You may like him. If it requires actual fighting and work... Go somewhere else.
