Traveling from opposite ends of the country for court was overwhelming, and the stakes felt terribly high. From the moment my attorney stepped in, I felt a sense of relief. He was calm, confident, and clearly knew what he was doing. Walking out of the courtroom without the life-altering consequences I was afraid of, is something I will never forget. The outcome of my case honestly exceeded anything I expected. If you are facing a serious charge in Virginia and want someone who will fight for you and stand by you, Steven Thomas is the attorney you want in your corner. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you!”- Nathan, Google Review

  • “I recently got a reckless driving ticket and was so scared of the outcome I was going to have to face in court. Steven was honest with me about everything and his team had great communication. Because of him, I was able to avoid jail time and continue with my normal life. He is very kind and encouraging and I would 100% recommend him and his team to anyone who needs the help!” –Drew, Google Review
