Exceptional lawyer

From the first time I spoke with attorney Vaughan Jones he made me feel very comfortable with the amount of knowledge he had of the law. He explained things to me in an easy to understand way. He not only gave me a lot of advice from the first moment we spoke but he was able to work with me and my fi...nancial situation . He assured me that he would b able to help me and he was able to get all my charges dropped against me. He genuinely understood how nervous I was about the entire situation especially with this being the only time I have ever had to deal with the courts. I would recommend him to anyone any day

Awesome lawyer

I really appreciate Mr. Jones services. He was very knowledgeable and remained confident throughout the entire trial. It was a pleasure and I would most definitely hire Mr. Jones again.

Angry ex in laws

I had a situation with my sons mother once I received more visitation with my son. Her mom said I used profanity on my cell phone when I called her cell phone to speak with my son. She filed some bogus charge like bullying [some new cell phone law in VA]. An arrest warrant came in the mail to my ...home in MD from VA [where my son lives] and I had to drive back to VA [I pick up my son and drive to MD] and Mr. Vaughan Jones was available to talk, discuss this law and the charges I was facing, and meet me at the jail where the arrest warrant directed me [I wasn't processed I guess because I had no record] I was cleared so if stopped I wouldn't get arrested. Mr. Jones made me feel way more comfortable and at ease. We got the case dismissed. Long story but I would definitely use Mr. Vaughan Jones again if needed. Thank you Mr. Jones.

Excellent service from a excellent attorney

Mr. Jones is a prime example of what a outstanding attorney is. I was facing four felonies which if I was convicted I would have been sentenced to over 10 years. With his skills and knowledge of the law, he had pulled the unthinkable plea. Thanks to him, my charges were dismissed and I was free. The ...plea was so good that the court was shocked at the outcome because it was such a good deal for me. He dropped four felonies and not too many attorneys can do that. I highly highly recommend Mr. Jones.

Won my case!

Very knowledgeable and confident. Expressed interest in my case and gave me good professional advice. Explained options well and when I decided to fight rather than plea he seemed very eager and excited to get started. Even though I felt there seemed to be some lag in communication during the whole ...process we ended with a not guilty verdict. I would definitely recommend Mr. Jones.
