Mark B. was amazing! He delivered on everything he promised. He prepared me for worst case scenario and had a great plan from the beginning. Luckily he was able to get all charges dropped. He’s a very busy guy but never made me feel like he rushed anything. I usually do not like dealing with lawyers, but he’s a rare breed. He’s very professional, personable and likable. Best of all he charged me a flat fee up front. I owe that guy everything. Least I could do is leave a great review. I would definitely recommend him, and use his talents again if needed.

I got charged with a possession charge and couldn’t afford a lawyer at the time, so the court appointed Fernando to my case. Whenever you choose to get a court appointed lawyer you’re always taking a risk. Because you’re one of who knows how many clients the court has given him with the same problems. But, Fernando never made me feel like another “body” he’d do basic work for while moving to the next. He’s sincere, he listens, and genuinely wants his clients to succeed. He’ll fight for you in the court until you can’t fight anymore. He’s was truly a blessing and a great lawyer.

I want to say this is the best law firm. Mark is the best very professional and outstanding never lied to me was always up front with me. He stood up for me in court he's just awesome I can't say enough about him. I would recommend this law firm to any and everyone that wants good representation. When I say he fought for me he fought for me!!!!! He always was there when I called or emailed if he was a tab bit busy. He knows what he is doing in the court room. Thank you so much mark

They're helping me in my most dire moment in my life and have helped both of my brothers through the toughest of ordeals. I recommend them to anyone who's serious about protecting their rights. I'm so thankful for all they do.

Ms. Angela Moorehouse and her Team have provided Our Family with Top Notch Legal Assistance and Representation. They are a great Credit to the Law Industry and would highly recommend Irving Law Firm in the Future.

I called Mike on short notice, he asked for 2 things my court date, and my charge. He said meet there at 9am and asked for simple documentation I needed to acquire. I had no real expectations aside from the fact he came HIGHLY recommended. He went above and beyond, up against a cop who wanted to give me time for HIS own mistake, and inability to read documentation correctly. Mike would not have any of it. Mind you the cop that had charged me has also been well known to “target” some acquaintances and friends of mine as well. I’ll just say we all share similar traits and characteristics. If you need a well equipped and knowledgeable lawyer that will go to bat up against ANYONE. Mikes the guy to call.

I was Referred to Mr. Pignone by my neighbor who thinks is Mario Andretti and has a heavy right foot and has used his services in many occasions, always with a great outcomes, so I contacted him ..and boy am I glad I did! he got me out of a mess. Awesome easy going guy. made the process so easy . hoping not to get in trouble anymore but if I ever do; I would not even consider anyone else but Mr. Pignone !

I was referred by a friend of mines to reach out to Mr.Pignone about a DUI charge I received unlawfully. I heard his work was great and he really knows what he’s doing as well as very known with the prince William county area as well as other areas in Northern Virginia. He toke my case and was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. I’m glad I was able to beat the charges appointed to me I really appreciate his help. Hopefully I won’t be needing him again but if I did I definitely would appoint him as my counsel. Thank you again

Mr. Pignone was a great attorney for my daughters case! He is a very professional and responsive lawyer who took on a tough case and got the level of the severity of her charges lowered and dropped! We were very pleased and highly recommend him!!!

An experienced, knowledgeable and caring professional, Mike is a home run as an attorney. Mike helped me navigate a pretty awful situation, helped get my sentence reduced and used his knowledge of a newly instituted statute and lobbied the judge, who was skeptical about Mike's interpretation, to get me privileges I never would have thought were possible. Mike will work tirelessly on your behalf and explain the ins and outs of your particular case, leaving you confident that you are getting the best representation. I could not recommend Mike highly enough!

Steve Duckett was absolutely wonderful in handling our son's traffic court case. In the beginning, we were completely unaware of the process and steps we needed to follow. Plus we are not in state so needed to better understand VA laws, etc. Steve was patient, assuring, and always answered our questions quickly and thoroughly. We were completely confident walking into that courtroom that we were in great hands. Of course, even better that the absolutely best use scenario is what we walked out with. Steve Duckett is honest, forthcoming, and completely above board. I would highly recommend Steve for anyone needing a defense attorney going forward. We are grateful for Steve's guidance and outstanding expertise.

I absolutely owe the fact that my 'reckless driving' ticket was reduced to Speeding to Steve Duckett and Price Benowitz. They were professional, thorough, available, and ultimately successful. They have my 110% recommendation. When I spoke to Steve initially I could tell right away he was the right lawyer for me. He is a straight shooter and was knowledgeable, interested in not just the facts but me personally, and he did NOT sugar coat when he reviewed the possible tough outcomes as well as the difficult but eventually crucial steps I should take before trial to give me the best chance of a positive outcome. He did not promise any easy verdict but he did promise his very best. He and the firm gave me utterly crucial guidance and hope for a positive outcome despite ultimately being up to the courts- BEWARE anyone who claims otherwise. He and Price Benowitz earned being my counsel by the way they responded to my situation. Again, the fact he did not just "say anything" to gain my representation made all the difference. But he also gave me the feeling of someone very intent on helping me to the best outcome possible AND who without having to say it directly, it was evident to me he fully intended to do right by me and believed he would be successful. He exuded calm, spoke to truth, clearly knew the nature of the charges and people involved in Prince William Cty on every end of things - though I am sure his scope of ability extends beyond that jurisdiction alone, I recommend him especially if you get such a ticket here. I chose to go with him because he was honest, easy to talk to, clearly experienced, intelligent and covered every angle very directly. The firm, Price Benowitz, kept me informed, was able to secure me an immediate continuance (later court date) to give me time to take Driver Improvement classes and such to help my case, and deserves kudos as well. After 6 months of stress, for a 9am court date before even going into the proceedings at 915am, within 15 minutes and before even entering the court room, though he'd been working on everything well ahead of this, Steve met me and walked off and when he returned he had worked out an agreement to reduce my Reckless to speeding (a possible 6 month license suspension with NO work pass limits was avoided, a 2500 fine became 200 dollars, and most importantly what would have been my first and only Misdemeanor of my life was avoided and will never be on my record - oh yeah or a couple nights in jail- all absolutely legitimate possibilities). If you get the wrong cop, prosecutor, judge or lawyer, you will likely not have the same good fortune I had. I owe that to Steve Duckett and Price Benowitz. If you get a reckless do NOT take it lightly and show up at court without a lawyer in jeans and a sweater. I learned a lot about how serious a 'Reckless' charge is once I got it after 29 years of driving never having to face one. A Class 1 Misdemeanor is no joke. If Steve did not have the connections, experience, aptitude and quick thinking, my result and life as I know it right now could easily be a complete nightmare. If I can't drive to work I'd lose my job. I owe this to Mr. Duckett. The bottom line is he is a serious Professional and yet wasn't there to just put his time in- he was fighting to help me personally. And that trumps all the experience in the world and is why I give Steve Duckett and Price Benowitz 5 Stars and hope one day to run into him in Old Town Manassas or Woodbridge to buy him a thank you dinner- but I definitely hope we don't meet again for legal reasons! But if I need someone for who knows what, I wouldn't think twice about calling him and his firm right back. My eternal gratitude and highest recommendation to you Steve.

He helped through a reckless driving and brought it down to jus a improper driving ticket, represented me with great confidence and made sure to keep me informed and calm the whole time

I would highly recommend Att. Andrew Lindsey for all your needs. I’ve been in law enforcement in one capacity or another since 1976. I was recently retired and headed home from our first season in Florida when I was given a ticket for over 20 MPH on a major highway. To my surprise when I looked closely at my citation it said Reckless. I was never informed by the trooper of the charge of Reckless as is the norm after researching Virginia laws and it’s practices. I immediately looked on line and found Andrew. I do admit to speeding but there was nothing Reckless about a clear day with No traffic on a straight highway. If you’ve found yourself in such a situation in Virginia get a lawyer. Very pleased with Andrew in every way. It was a costly experience that law abiding travelers should not have to experience. The end result was a plead of 9 MPH over the speed limit and a fine of 579.00 including court costs. The judge decided to double my fine because in was in a high accident zone. Lesson learned and couldn’t have done it without Andrew and his representation.

Steve Duckett took my reckless driving case last minute and took the time to explain everything I needed to do. I was charged with doing 52 in a 25. He answered all my questions and someone was available to answer my calls even on the weekend. The charge was lessened and fines totaled to $177. His services was worth the money. Smooth, professional and pleasant experience

I hired Nicole Naum for a charge that was extremely stressful. I could not have asked for a better lawyer or a better outcome for my case. She worked with me to create a payment plan that wouldn't devastate me financially, she was honest and realistic about expectations through the entire process, and most of all she was insurmountably compassionate and empathetic. I struggled to feel emotionally stable during this process, and she provided not only amazing legal advice, but comfort in my time of crisis. I would 100% recommend her to any of my friends or loved ones. She is diligent, intelligent, and an overall superstar!

Where do I start a 5 start review DOES NOT do justice compare to the OUTSTANDING and AMAZING job Nicole Naum has done for Me and my husband. I’ve hired her countless of times and she has NEVER disappointed me! She’s the real deal every time I felt hopeless with every case I’ve had she was there to put hope back. She’s compassionate, understanding and patient she’ll never know how much she’s has impacted me. I’ve had other lawyers before her and they have never made me feel like they actually cared about my situation like she has. When my family and friends need legal help she will always be #1 recommended by me. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed!

If you want the easiest way out, go with Naum. If you honestly believe you are not guilty according to the law, find another attorney.

JC was excellent! I hired him for a traffic stop violation that I was summoned to court for speeding and reckless driving in fairfax VA. JC was was prompt, professional he makes you feel comfortable regardless of the situation at hand in which you hired him for, his team was great as well, everyone was quick to respond to any questions I had and kept in contact with me through the the process of my case and the recommendations to help with the outcome.

Highly appreciate the lawyer and the firm, especially our Client Director, Katia who is very patient with us during the year. Since I do not have the knowledge and experience on legal terms as well as procedures, she did explain and encourage us all the time and very carefully. Highly recommend.
