Great representation

Mary Nerino has been a great attorney. She has been very responsive to me throughout my experience of dealing with a traffic violation. She put me at ease from the very beginning by saying, just relax, I will take care of this. Don't stress. I needed to hear that especially since this was my first ex...perience of having to go to court for a traffic violation. If I needed anything, I could always call her or email & she would get back to me quickly. Mary is very knowledgeable and will be by your side the whole way. She is very nice, patient, a good listener.... she's great!! I highly recommend Mary Nerino!

Mary is an awesome attorney.

Hello, my name is Ruben, I found myself in Fairfax County Courthouse on 09/27/16 on a case that appeared to be very hard to have anything good come out of it. Mary Nerino was my attorney. She proved to be very professional, knowledgeable and left no doubt she was on my side. What an awesome advo...cate to have by one's side when one is facing a judge . Thanks again Mary!!

Posted by Teresa | July 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Expert, professional and thorough!

I hired Mary Nerino to be my attorney after I was pulled over for speeding after going through the toll booth on the Dulles Greenway. It's 35mph for a short distance before it switches to 65mph. The speed I was going was considered reckless driving and I was completely freaked out based on stories I'...d heard in general, but specifically in Loudoun County, VA. Mary and her team professionally obtained all the pertinent information from me to defend me and try to at least get the reckless down to speeding. Mary was thorough, communicated regularly with me, always returned my emails and phone calls and was a pleasure to work with! I can highly recommend her across the board: professionalism, intelligence, knowledge of the proceedings and making me feel reassured. And to top it all off, she was able to negotiate with the prosecutor to lower my offense to a speeding ticket.

Confident and an expert!

Mary took control of the whole case in a swift and professional manner, showing her expertise every step of the way. She also did a great job in keeping me calm and informed making sure I know exactly what to expect. And hey, the dropped the reckless driving charges! Thank you!!

Great is Understatement

Mary was knowledgeable and transparent during the initial consultation. Having defended similar cases as mine, she notified me of all possible outcomes but ensured that she would work diligently for things to work in my favor. Her commitment to my case was evident as she made sure that all resources ...were absolve so that I could have a fair trial. During the court date, Mary was very attentive to my concerns, and kept me inform throughout the day on what was happening. At the end, her expertise and skills lead to my case being dismiss.
