    Patrick delivered by exposing mistakes.
    Serious charges require a serious defense. Fighting my DUI charge and exposing where the law made mistakes was where Patrick delivered. I had many talks with Mr. O'Brien and he never left any gray areas and gave direct end results. After months of research and analysis, at my final hearing, Mr. O'Brien smoothly presented the facts to the prosecutor and was able to drop my charge. I am much relieved now and I appreciate you, Patrick, for your hard work and your fees as well!
    Best Case Scenario Outcome
    Mr. O'Brien was responsive, professional, and reassuring during the entire process after I was cited with a DWI that involved hitting another vehicle and breathalyzer refusal. We met on numerous occasions and he provided recommendations for the best strategy to best posture my case for a favorable outcome. The DWI was successfully reduced to reckless driving and the refusal was dropped...best case scenario.

    Grateful I found Mr. O’Brien
    After being charged with a DUI and in a situation where my chances didn't look particularly good, I was so scared and horrified with the fact. It was the first time in my entire life I had been in this kind of situation, so it was so confusing for me. I didn’t have anyone who could help me. My husband was not supportive or helpful, my son didn’t know what to do, and my brother, who could help me with my situation, was back home. I was all alone and losing all hope. I googled so many lawyers, but it always led me to Mr. O’Brien. So I went to Mr. O'Brien for representation. He was consistently honest, patient, reasonably priced, and realistically reassuring. He was also very responsive and took the time to explain things to me. Mr. O'Brien has a deep and thorough knowledge of DWI and traffic law in Virginia. He is confident and has a desire to represent and protect his client. Most importantly, he was so kind to me and gave me courage and hope to get through this and helped me not to give up. I would absolutely recommend Mr. O'Brien to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation and is looking for the best counsel, especially those who don’t have any other hope and help from family or friends. I am so grateful that I found Mr. O’Brien.

    Patrick O'Brien's Great Expertise
    At first, I thought I was screwed and had no hope of winning my case. Then came Patrick O'Brien and his great expertise to sway the court into a fair result in Arlington. He knew that I was determined to show I was a good person and driving drunk was a mistake. Because I had prior sobriety treatment, he proved to the court that I can turn my case around and be a better person to the community by doing community service. He got the charge knocked from a DUI down to reckless driving and did it confidently. He was definitely in communication with me during the whole process, and I can confidently say that I will refer him to anyone else who needs a firm voice. Also, because Dischley Law is a veteran-owned firm, I definitely feel that they take care of their veterans. If I can give them six stars, I would definitely do so. Highly recommend Dischley Law to anyone stuck in a tough spot.

    Miracle workers
    Imagine: 2 DUIs in 2 years, (for a total of 3), and 2 DIPs while on probation for aforementioned DUIs. Outlook = not good. I was sentenced to jail time and license suspension for 3 years; however, Mr. Dischley advised me to appeal the judgment, which I did. Thanks to COVID and my probation violations, the proceedings were drawn out over a 2-year period. I had to appear in 2 different county courts multiple times, and his partner, Attorney Patrick O'Brien, also represented me in court a few times. Long story short, I only ended up having to pay a relatively small fine. Basically, Mr. Dischley and his team are miracle workers, and my family and I will be eternally grateful.
