Excellent lawyer and one to watch.

I have had the privilege of being represented by Mr. Priest. Being an author and illustrator, you may can imagine the type of things I have to deal with. Mr. Priest has never let me down, even after business hours. My issues are dealt with promptly, professionally, and most important of all, persona...lly. Never do I have to deal with an automated service or do I have to press one for English. For whatever your needs, you will not be dissatisfied.

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Suspension issued in VA, 2011

updated on 02/28/2015

Suspended means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

James’s comment:

“My suspension was voluntary. It was related to a driving offense. I was fully reinstated at my motion, and am in good standing with the Bar, and my practice was voted "Best Law Firm" in my area for 2015 by the Gazette-Virginian Reader's Choice poll.”
