I have read the threads about Ken Fitgerald but he does not seem to be practicing anymore - email bounces back and phone not answered- need lawyer for son (17) found with MJ and fake ID. We live in fairfax Cty. Anyone have any attorney recommendations?

Manakis. Before he was a defense guy he worked as a prosecutor here. He knows all the judges and most of today's prosecutors. He's not the cheapest but he's connected and good.

Matt McConnell, good rates, and a good attorney. He helped my friend's son out with a possession charge.

Do not get an attorney at all, save the money and plead guilty. The same results will be handed down regardless.

Promise, or do beforehand, to take a driving class - enroll yourself in ASAP.

Nothing more can be done, getting a lawyer is a waste of money.



Only exception is if you hurt someone.

Manuel Capsalis. I may have misspelled his last name.

BILLY HICKs not cheap im sure but one of the best ive seen

I'd also go with Matt McConnell. When I hired him, he was doing free consultations, so it can't hurt just to give him a call to see what he says. His office is over by West Springfield HS. He tells it like it is, and if he thinks you might be doing some jail time or losing your license, he'll tell you. He's good at getting deals or things knocked down too (I speak from experience).

Lots of lawyers on FFXU

^this is correct

everyone will try to sell you the person they lost their money to

no need for a lawyer, waste of money


here is an example:

you go in with a lawyer, pay a shit load of money = guilty and a b c

poor guy goes in with no lawyer, public defendant = guilty and a b c


how do you think 1000s of poor people get the same results on DUIs as other with money?

Demetry Pikrallidas is effective or his associate Kevin Wright www.piklaw.com

David M Hall

Encountering a low life attorney so corrupt as Demetry Pikrallidas whom always places himself as if he were God's gift to humanity; gathering just this view displays that something is not quite right. Demetry, you should show compassion for what you did to John T. as well as what you've done to your wife and child, the Varlas family, and so many others which you chose to lie about to bring them down to satisfy your psychotic state and thirst. And definitely the cherry on top; the burning of your home to gain profit.
A true chameleon at work.

It would be a mistake not to at least consult a lawyer. A competent attorney will determine whether the stop was justified, whether the search was legal and whether other required procedures were followed. He might also be able to negotiate a plea to reduced charges. A lawyer might not be able to help you much once you get into court, but he will try hard to keep you out of court in the first place.

They are using the same attorneys as people who hire their own attorneys, or at least attorneys drawn from the same pool. Most Fairfax indigent defendants in Fairfax County are going to be represented by attorneys in private practice. Quite often the attorneys who handle court appointed cases are the same attorneys as those who handle cases for middle or upper income defendants. If not they are attorneys from the same firm or attorneys who have the same background. When these attorneys go in to strike a deal with the assistant commonwealth attorney, the ACA doesn't pay much attention to whether the case was court appointed or whether the defense attorney was hired. The deal offered will be similar, except perhaps for the amount of the fine and the terms of the restricted drivers license.

If you tried to strike a deal on your own, the prosecutor might not offer the same deal. He also might not offer the same deal to some attorney he did not know who seemed unfamiliar with how the system works in Fairfax.

all smoking mirrors.
