Mary explained everything in an easy to understand way. She developed a plan and implemented it just the way she described it. She also developed contingency plans depending on how things went throughout the process. Hiring Mary turned out to be the key to my successful outcome. I consulted sever...al attorneys and Mary was clearly the best option for me. She's connected, competent , and incredibly capable. [August 2020]

Being charged with a DUI and a felony can feel like your world is literally crumbling around you. The disappointment you feel and pending financial stress can be overwhelming. When i hired Mary, I did not know what to expect but I had confidence in her. She did not only dilever but went above and bey...ond my expectations. She was available to meet via zoom, which was very much appreciated during this pandemic. My charges felt like the weight of the world on me. She negotiated to have my felony reduced to a misdemeanor, then dismissed upon completion of probation of one year. My driving privileges was minimally impacted due to her knowledge of a new law which came into affect on July 1st 2020. She had to school the prosecutor and the Judge on the details. Mary then continued to amaze me. She followed up with the prosecutor and the judge after the case was heard to reduce my DL suspension time from 18 months to 12 months. I have never witnessed two different prosecutors speak on the behalf of a defendant as much as I did during my case. I had to do my part with her guidance to make these results possible, but I couldn't have picked a better lawyer but more importantly, a better person. I highly recommend Mary! She is very knowledgeable, prepared and she will fight for you!

From the first phone call I knew that Mary Nerino is the right attorney for me. During the consultation, she patiently explained what I would need to do if I chose to defend myself on the day of my traffic court. I chose Mary to defend me. And that was the right decision. She clearly explained th...e process. She calmed me down. Mary gave me an option to represent me in court without my presence. I so much welcomed that. On the day, Mary gave me regular updates and told me of next steps. Most important, Mary achieved an outcome of a no-point traffic infraction. I received what I was hoping for. If you a looking for a great defense attorney, ask for Mary Nerino.

I was charged with a DUI and refusal in Arlington county and found all the sudden my world being turned upside down. Immediately I began to reach out to multiple lawyers, some of whom I met in person and others who I called over the phone. I must admit it was stressful having to choose until I sat do...wn with Mary. After our first encounter, I knew she had the fight in her I was looking for to win my case. Additionally, the price she quoted me for her services was in the same ballpark as other firms, but those other firms not come with the peace of mind that Mary provided. Communication throughout the process was abundant. We kept in touch via email/ text until my trail got closer. During the period of discovery we then switched to Zoom/ phone calls in order to respect the social distancing rules for COVID but to also ensure I had time to ask any questions that I had about my case. Mary was patient, thorough, and knowledgeable throughout the process of getting my case resolved. She even called the exact offer the prosecutor was going to give me before they had even made the offer! Of course it wasn't an offer I was willing to take, so we went to court which resulted in the judge finding me not guilty! If you are looking for someone who is going to fight for you in court as if they are fighting for themselves, then look no more. I truly cannot explain how happy I am that I went with Mary amongst all the other lawyers.

Mary was extremely helpful and responsive for the entirety of my public intoxication case. She told me exactly what I had to do to build the best case right from the get-go and provided the contacts and resources to do it. She was available any time I had questions about the process and ultimately go...t me the best possible outcome. 10/10, highly recommend!
