David Dischley is the guy! Awesome lawyer, very professional and friendly. The process was made simple and easy by himself and assistant Nicole. He helped me get the best result in my case.
R M
David and his team are great lawyers!
A great lawyer hopes you never need them. If you do need them, they fight hard for you. David and his team are great lawyers! I recommend them wholeheartedly!
Michael Manson
Highly Recommend This Lawyer
David Dischley called me back promptly after I contacted his office, which was greatly appreciated. At this point, I had "consulted" a few lawyers in his area. I put the consultations in quotes because none of those firms actually called back with their actual lawyers and were quick to push for retainer fees by invoking scare tactics.
David was the opposite. He gave advice, assurance, and wouldn't accept a retainer (I asked him if I could go ahead for my own peace of mind) unless I absolutely needed it after following his advice. He understood the situation well, and he also clearly knows the location and local public workers in his city/county, which I've (unfortunately) learned is very important for a good lawyer. He seemed quite personable and friendly, but most importantly to me, he was patient and available. I highly recommend this lawyer for any concerns one may have with issues in Northern Virginia or Prince William County.
Exceptional Representation
I want to express my heartfelt thanks for your exceptional representation. Your professionalism, responsiveness, and sound advice exceeded my expectations. I will gladly recommend your services to my family and friends in need. Thank you for all your hard work on my case.
Very Efficient and Effective
Very efficient and effective. They provided effective instructions to prepare for court. David was effective and had the experience and relationships that resulted in a positive outcome.
John Harding
A Wonderful Experience
After having the privilege of working with Mr. David Dischley from Dischley Law Firm, it has been a wonderful experience. Mr. Dischley is very professional and experienced, as he helped navigate an uncomfortable experience with expertise and professionalism. I highly recommend Dischley Law for their excellent representation and experience.
Murtaza
Incredibly Professional Team
The entire team at Dischley Law was incredibly professional and quickly responded to any questions or concerns throughout the process. They walked me through how everything would work from start to finish and gave me confidence in our plan, ultimately leading to our desired outcome. Thank you David, Nicole, and Patrick!
Clayton Cottrell
This guy is simply amazing.
Mr. Dischley represented me on both a reckless driving (98/55) charge and a felony criminal charge. Let me preface by saying that this guy is simply amazing. Getting my reckless driving amended to an improper driving and my felony charge completely nolle prosequi. Listen, don't second guess hiring this guy! He's your man!
jamar rucker

My case was extremely complicated but when you work with the best that understands the legal system well like Patrick you have nothing to worry about. He will be my family lawyer for anything I need for sure!

I have used David and his team for two different legal situations now, and throughout both processes, he and his team were amazing. They are very patient, knowledgeable, and helpful lawyers. And most importantly for me, I immediately felt like I could trust him and the counsel he was giving me. David will be my first call for any legal matters moving forward.

Garrett Johnson
Outstanding Service from Dischley Law
I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding service I received from Dischley Law. I would absolutely and without hesitation recommend David Dischley for any criminal or traffic matter you may unfortunately encounter.
I received nine solicitations for representation via mail from attorneys. Most, in my opinion, were poorly written and none impressive or compelling.
I called several attorneys practicing in the jurisdiction of my case. Of the ones I was able to speak with, the fifth was David J. Dischley, who was impressive and compelling.
A couple of decades ago, I worked on Wall Street. During that time, I met a number of distinguished attorneys that were very well respected within the Manhattan legal community. Speaking with David, there was this indescribable but detectable notion that made him stand out.
From that call with Mr. Dischley, I was certain I was speaking with a respected and distinguished attorney. He was sharp, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. From that initial consultation to the resolution of my case, David’s expertise and dedication were evident every step of the way.
He approached my situation with compassion, understanding, and unwavering determination. David's strategic thinking, thorough preparation, and courtroom prowess were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for me. While handling my case, I saw that David possesses a vast knowledge base and a keen eye for detail, which became evident as he was handling my case. His expertise, compassion, and dedication truly set him apart.
As with any law firm, the legal support staff is vital to the success of the attorneys and often the primary point of contact for clients. The level of communication and responsiveness from his Director of Operations, Ms. Nicole Purvis, was exceptional! Any concerns or questions I had were promptly addressed, providing me with a sense of reassurance. Mr. Dischley working in unison with Ms. Purvis under his leadership made for a seamless client management I have ever witnessed.
I am immensely grateful for David's work on my behalf. If you are seeking an exceptional attorney that has passion for the law and compassion for his clients, then I urge you to look no further than Dischley Law. Many thanks, David

The Finest Defense Attorney
Mr. O'Brien is by far one of the finest defense attorneys I have ever consulted and hired. My only regret is I couldn't afford to pay him more for the amount of effort he put into my cases, not to mention the positive results when it was all said and done! The man deserves every dime you give him, because he gives 110% every step of the way!
Abid Bhatti
Great Attorney and Advocate
Mr. Dischley is a great attorney. His knowledge of the law and expertise are top-notch. He is a skilled listener, and when combined with his diversity of successful experience, he is the advocate you want on your side.
richard stein
Displays all the traits and skills
This is my second engagement with Mr. Dischley. Back in 2017 was our family's first involvement with him involving an issue with our young son. He provided tremendous assistance due to his thorough knowledge of the law and great common sense and the outcome was very favorable. On top of that, he has a natural ability as a great listener. The aforementioned is why I contacted him again recently for an issue which involved a consultation. He again provided excellent advice. Mr. Dischley displays all the traits and skills one wants in an attorney. He understands the issues he is presented with since it is highly likely he has been involved in similar cases during his impressive career that spanned the US Marine Corps, Loudoun Co Prosecutor's Office, and Private Practice. He understood our situation both times we engaged with him and he provided extremely valuable guidance that you might not find with just any attorney. It's too bad I'm limited in giving him only 5 stars, because 10 would be more appropriate.
Highly Appreciate Legal Expertise
I highly appreciate the legal expertise and professionalism displayed by Patrick O'Brien throughout the process. His thorough analysis, clear communication, and commitment to ensuring justice were evident. I would confidently recommend their services to anyone in need of legal representation.
