I can't say enough great things about Bississo Law Firm. I'm from NYC and was in Washington, DC…read morenear the White House for work when I was pulled over by the Secret Service and issued two tickets for "passing past light on red." It was stressful, especially since this happened out of state. When I tried to schedule a court date online, the system said I had to appear in person, which wasn't possible because I had already returned to New York. Mr. Bississo went above and beyond he was kind enough to go in person on my behalf just to help me secure a court date. That alone showed how dedicated and trustworthy he is. On the actual court date, I showed up and the officer never appeared, so both tickets were dismissed. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Bississo provided excellent guidance, clear communication, and genuine support. He made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. He is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his clients. If you're dealing with traffic tickets or in complicated situations this is the attorney you want on your side. Wishing him nothing but continued success. Highly recommend! -Michael Arevalo

I am grateful, beyond measure. I will keep Mike in my roladex and refer him to friends, family, and others in case they ever need an attorney. Mike's approach is effortless.

Bottom Line - Colleen Haddow is the BEST attorney I could have ever wished for --my only regret is…read morethat I didn't start with her from the beginning. Ms. Colleen Haddow came as a recommendation from my previous law firm following failed mediation in a highly complex, contentious, and financially draining divorce and custody case. The opposing counsel - whose professional reputation precedes her as a person devoid of ethics and civility, made finding a willing, capable, and affordable replacement daunting. Colleen personally and immediately took my call for an intake interview. When I opened by informing her of who opposing counsel was, she simply laughed with complete confidence, accepted my case, and immediately got my case moving on the right track. Unlike opposing counsel in this case, Colleen is a legal professional with impeccable integrity and ethics; but not to be confused with someone who submits to bully tactics or shies away from confrontation in or out of the courtroom. In contrast, Ms. Haddow is emotionally intelligent and well versed in the rules of the court to effectively persuade and, if need be, compel cooperation from even the most difficult of personalities. In doing so, she also remained a steadfast, approachable, and responsive attorney (often responding to me within minutes), who consistently addressed my concerns, provided objective perspective, and gave absolute sound guidance amidst the evolving challenges within the case. In short, she kept me sane and grounded in arguably the most stressful and emotionally draining period of my life. In addition to her superior soft skills, Colleen also demonstrated unmatched expertise and experience in distilling and framing the key issues of my case (fully explaining the legalities), to include those I hadn't initially seen, understood, or considered. She proved invaluable in interpreting and exposing financial information, indiscretions, and activities. She was also proactive, strategic, anticipatory, and prepared always and on all fronts. I am convinced that she and her abilities alone are the REASON that ultimately resulted in my case outcome far surpassing my initial expectations from failed mediation, and resulting in a final settlement that exceeded my best-case scenario in court (albeit that she was fully prepared and willing to execute). Colleen saved me thousands in legal expenses, but more importantly, she helped me overcome a series of short-term losses in exchange for an overwhelming long-term gain on my journey to a new and better life. In the strongest terms possible, I highly recommend Colleen Haddow for all family litigation.

Colleen came recommended to me without hesitation from another esteemed family law attorney cited…read morein USA Today as a top attorney in the DC area. I am so thankful for the recommendation and that I took this attorney's advice to retain Colleen. Colleen helped me navigate my separation and prepared me for trial with calculated wisdom, grace, and finesse. Ultimately yielding to a judge to decide what is best for the ones who matter most is excruciatingly hard; Colleen's command of the law, intimate knowledge of the details of my case and her execution in court were phenomenal. Her attention to detail, personal commitment to excellence and outstanding professionalism allowed a judge to clearly see the case before him. After custody, we were able to settle final terms in mediation. Again, Colleen ensured I was well prepared and that all the details were understood, disclosed, and terms fair and reasonable to bring my divorce to an end. I would not hesitate to recommend Colleen to anyone looking for an attorney with whom they can openly dialogue, solicit advice, and pay exceptional value for an elite standard of service. I tried one attorney before Colleen, witnessed and endured what the attorney on opposing counsel brought forth both in court and mediation, and am so thankful that I had Colleen with me to finalize what has been the most difficult time in my life. The results were truly unparalleled.

Communication was regular and friendly from either Andrew or his administrative team. He has a good rapport with area judges, which helps to determine how he will argue your case. He even gives a repeat customer discount (though I wish I didn't have knowledge of that...). Don't forget to do your homework and follow through with any driving school programs he recommends.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding service I received from Dischley Law. I would…read moreabsolutely 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 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 Matthew Marcelle Front Royal, VA

Over the course of six months, Kush represented me through two serious and completely false felony…read morecharges--burglary and theft. The situation was deeply emotional and stressful, stemming from a false accusation made by an ex-boyfriend during a difficult breakup. From the very beginning, Kush was calm, reassuring, and laser-focused on one objective: a full acquittal. Throughout the entire process--from preparation through trial--Kush demonstrated exceptional professionalism, strategic thinking, and deep knowledge of the Maryland court system. He is an outstanding trial litigator who understands not only the law, but how to clearly and effectively present the truth in court. Kush took the time to fully understand my side of the story and made sure it was heard. He methodically exposed the inconsistencies and falsehoods in the accuser's testimony and clearly demonstrated why the State failed to meet its burden of proof. Because of his skill, preparation, and confidence in the courtroom, I was fully acquitted and found not guilty on all charges. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing a criminal defense attorney--whether in district or circuit court--you want someone who is strategic, composed under pressure, and relentlessly committed to protecting you. Kush Arora is exactly that attorney.

On the Friday before my Monday trial, I reached out to Mr. Bose and requested he represent me on my court day. It was a miracle that he even accepted, but what really made an impact was the way he approached the situation. His demeanor was calm and reassuring as he walked me through what I would be facing on that Monday, and the potential outcomes and their consequences. Although I was facing jail time, license suspension, and more, he communicated this in such a way that was concise, and free of either sugar-coating or fear tactics. Ultimately, I left court on Monday with a simple speeding ticket. I can not recommend Mr. Bose highly enough, not only for his knowledge, but also for his best-in-class customer service.

IF YOU NEED A LAWYER, BOSE IS YOUR WARRIOR!…read more I'm a person that always tries to follow the rules, doesn't cut in line, and always makes an effort to have a good moral compass. One night I made a devastating mistake. One that I was sure was going to drastically alter where my future was going. I was charged with a DUI, hit and run, obstruction of justice, refusal to blow, and no proof of insurance. I was taken to jail for the first time in my life. My cuff's were so tight that 4 months later I still have no feeling in my pinkies and thumbs. While the bruised have faded, my charges remained very real. Through a personal friend I was told to contact Mr. Bose as soon as possible. I called him as soon as I was released to set up a time to meet. He called me back immediately and set up a meeting the very next day. Even though I arrived late, he was still able to fit me in to his schedule. He closely looked at the charges I was facing, calmly asked me what my side of the situation was, and thoroughly explained what I was being charged with. The question that captured me was, "what do you want the outcome to be of this?" He genuinely cared about what I wanted to happen. Fast-forward to the day of my trial. Mr. Bose came to find me, we walked and talked. He assured me that it was not looking good for me, as my behavior had earned me so many charges. But, he had come up with a plan to take good care of me no matter what. As I anxiously awaited to be called for trial, he pulled me aside to tell me what things were looking like. I was very confused. I thought that going to trial was the only way to resolve things. Turns out, DUI- now a reckless driving, obstruction of justice- now disorderly conduct, refusing to blow- dropped, no proof of insurance- dropped, hit and run- stands but pleading not guilty. The night that I thought would ruin my career, destroy my family ties, break up my engagement, turned out to not be the worst day of my life. Because of Mr. Bose's background in law enforcement and exponential knowledge of the law, we were able to bypass trial all together. My final outcome came down to 6 months of restricted driving, a $250 fine (reduced from $500), and court fees. If results is what you need for your situation, there is no better attorney then Sudeep Bose. Trust me, he's a godsend to law!

He is by far the most passionate lawyer I've ever encountered -- zealous, aggressive when needed, and fully dedicated to giving us the strongest defense possible. From start to finish, it was clear that he cared deeply about his craft, his profession, and providing us with the absolute best representation. His representation remains one of the greatest investments and value received to this day! What stood out just as much was the respect he commanded in the courtroom. Even bail bondsmen and court clerks recognized him and noted how he consistently makes prosecutors work hard. That gave me incredible confidence in knowing we had the right person on our side. To this day, I remain blown away by his skill, humility, and thoughtfulness. I only hope he'll still be available if we ever need his services again -- though I wouldn't be surprised to see him rise to even higher levels in his career, which would be well deserved. I highly recommend Yancey Ellis without hesitation.

My brother was accused and eventually charged with marriage fraud, a federal crime, and even though he was and is innocent, the prosecution was dead set on convicting him. When my brother was arrested Jessica was my first phone call and not only had she remembered my brother from a brief consult a year before, but was extremely empathetic to his situation and was ready to help right away. She brought her partner Yancey Ellis to the case and the two of them made a dream team. For the first time in months (and years) I felt I could take a breath and let them take over my fight for my brother. I've had several bad experiences with lawyers and letting go of the reigns and letting the two of them take control was a huge deal and a huge relief because they were kicking ass. Since day one of hiring Jessica and Yancey, they've given it their all and there wasn't a day, email or phone call that went unanswered. They both are very professional, prompt, knowledgeable and heavily involved in their cases. Not only did they give me peace of mind that my brother's life and future are in good hands but accomplished the ultimate results in a record time. With their amazing work they managed to get the case dismissed by prosecution and release my brother sparing him and our whole family humiliation of the trail. Myself, my brother and our whole family is eternally thankful to Jessica and Yancey!! They rock!
