Amazing legal service and counsel, communication was clear never had to ask twice about crucial details regarding my legal matter. Worth any penny Mr.Green and his law firm are professionals through and through.!! read more

Thanks for answering the call but the insults and uncool jokes were a waste of time what people need is for an analysis based on the facts, not a quick conclusion. I didn't feel there was enough discussion of the evidence to fairly evaluate my case. The consultation felt rushed, and I left without a clear understanding of the interpretation of legal reasoning behind your assessment. I appreciate your time, but I don't think this was the right fit for my needs. No big deal. read more

I highly recommend Atty. Garrett Green and the Nichols & Green law office for your legal defense needs. Mr. Green is a very experienced and engaged professional who is a straight shooter, which I appreciate. After the free consultation, he laid out my possible defense options and outcomes. He walked me through what to expect for my court date, and I felt prepared and fully advocated for in his capable hands. I found his office to be very responsive to my needs, and my inquiries/communications were returned promptly. I find the few negative reviews on here to be curious compared to my contrasting experience, that perhaps these particular clients didn't receive the outcomes they had hoped for, but some things are simply not in an attorney's control and not every infraction will result in a consequence-free outcome! Regardless, I'm sure they fared far better than they would have without counsel or with a far less experienced attorney. So I'd take these outlier reviews with a huge helping of salt. read more

Mr. Green provided exceptional guidance and legal representation for two court cases. He listened to the details of our sitaution and we took action for everything advised and our incredibly pleased with the outcomes and the exceptional representation. We couldn't have found a better attorney or expected better representation, and strongly recommend Mr. Green with Nichols & Green to anyone that might be in need of legal representation in the Northern Virginia area. read more

Do not hire this lawyer, he's not professional, incompetent, unethical, he will take your money and when the trial comes he will look confused and lost, read more

This is the second time I have used Attorney Green and he delivered. I would not hesitate to use him again..

I highly recommend Garrett Green. There was great communication throughout, and he made the experience less stressful. I am happy with my outcome! read more

I hired Garrett Green to handle my criminal case, and I want to share my honest thoughts about working with him. At first, he seemed like a great choice. He talks real smooth and comes across as a really nice guy when you first meet him. But as time went on, things changed, and I ended up feeling disappointed with how everything turned out. The Good Start That Didn't Last When we first started working together, Mr. Green was on top of things. He would: Return my calls right away Answer my text messages quickly Make me feel like my case was important to him Seem confident about helping me But this good service didn't last long. After a few weeks, it got harder and harder to reach him. My calls went to voicemail, and my texts would sit there with no answer for days. This left me feeling worried and clueless about my own case. The Dreaded Clio System Instead of normal communication, I got pushed to use something called the "Clio system" - it's this online portal that was super frustrating to use. I couldn't even find my own messages in there! It felt like talking into a black hole, and I never knew if anyone was actually reading what I sent. What Really Bothered Me The biggest problems I had with Mr. Green were: 1. He Cared Too Much About Being Liked Mr. Green seemed more worried about everyone thinking he was a nice guy than fighting hard for me. He wanted the judges and prosecutors to like him, but sometimes you need your lawyer to ruffle some feathers to get results. 2. No Preparation He didn't seem to do any homework on my case. He'd walk into court looking like he was making it up as he went along. He'd just show up, chat with the prosecutor for a few minutes, and hope his charm would save the day. That's not what I was paying for. 3. Left Me Clueless About Court He never told me what to expect in court. Even when he knew important stuff was coming up, he wouldn't fill me in until we were sitting there in the courtroom. This left me feeling blindsided and unprepared many times. 4. Making Friends Instead of Fighting It felt like Mr. Green was more focused on building friendly relationships with the prosecutors for his future cases than he was on getting the best outcome for my case. He seemed afraid to push too hard or make waves. 5. No Discovery Work He didn't seem to do any of the background work lawyers are supposed to do. "Discovery" is when lawyers dig into all the evidence and look for problems with the other side's case. Mr. Green skipped this step as far as I could tell. How It Ended In the end, I took a plea deal that I wasn't happy with. Looking back, I wish I had spent my money on a different lawyer - one who would have fought harder for me and kept me informed about what was happening. I'm still hoping that something will change with my case, and if it does, I'll update this review. But for now, I can't recommend Mr. Green if you need a criminal defense attorney who will truly go to bat for you. My Advice If you're thinking about hiring Mr. Green, make sure you: Get everything in writing Ask directly about how he'll communicate with you Find out exactly what work he'll do to prepare your case Set clear expectations about updates and preparation Don't be fooled by the smooth talk and friendly manner. In criminal cases, you need someone who will work hard behind the scenes, not just someone who's good at talking. I will amend this review if and when my voice mails and texts are returned. I need to get an update on my case. read more

I hired this attorney for a reckless driving charge in Fairfax and couldn't be happier with the outcome. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very straightforward from the beginning. He explained the process clearly and handled everything efficiently. The reckless charge was reduced to improper speed, which was a huge relief. Highly recommend if you need a solid traffic lawyer who knows what he's doing. read more

Excellent communication, genuinely cares about what he does and fights for the best outcomes. Couldn't recommend higher.

Wish I could give 10 stars! The results are reflective of Mr. Green's almost 40 years of experience.

Garrett Green is the legal representation you need - HANDS DOWN - NO QUESTIONS ASKED! I was feeling overwhelmed and anxious with unfamiliar legal territory, however during the initial calls/review Garrett was cool, calm, and collected the entire process. Garrett is extremely knowledgeable and the outcome was 100x better than I expected. Garrett called as soon as case was complete, reviewed the outcome, answered all questions. Flawless from start to finish! read more

Thanks for your assistance, Mr. green! Would recommend to anyone needing assistance for a traffic offense.

The firm made all my worries go away and provided the best possible outcome for my traffic ticket. Will be recommending to my friends.

If you're looking around, trying to find a good defense lawyer, specifically for VA traffic court, look no further! Mr. Green and his team are the best and will make the process easy. I used their services twice and would return if I get into any more trouble (preferably not). read more

I had 2 tickets a speeding and an expired inspection, I called him a day before the court date and he got both of them dismissed, this team is the best read more

I heard of Nichols and Green through word of mouth, and decided to give Garrett Green my Traffic Citation. I was issued a speeding infraction for Reckless Driving. I definitely didnt want to risk compromising my CDL License so I let Garrett Green represent me in Court. He got the ticket reduced from Speeding and Reckless Driving to Failure to Obey a Traffic Sign. Unfortunately, I had to acquire His services again for a driving while holding a cellphone ( my gps unit had unfastened from the windshield) Garrett Green got the ticket reduced to Failure to Pay Full Time Attention with ZERO POINTS. Garrett Green, and the Law Firm of Nichols and Green are AWSOME and MONEY WELL SPENT!! read more

I highly recommend Atty. Garrett Green and the Nichols-Green Law Office as a very able, experienced, and engaged defense attorney, with particular emphasis on Northern Virginia traffic infractions. After a family member was charged with Reckless Driving - Operator Improper Brakes-Misc (A.46.2-853), a first-degree misdemeanor, following an accident, Atty. Green provided us with detailed perspectives on the charge and its long-term legal ramifications, combined with ways to mount an effective defense. This was done during a free 25 minute consultation, in concert with his provision to us of a detailed and clear book on Virginia traffic laws and moving violations. As a result of his clear, direct, and professional approach, Atty. Green inspired my confidence that the case would be handled appropriately. Throughout, both he and his office manager willingly addressed our questions and provided detailed guidance on our defense approach. Atty. Green's description of the traffic court process was spot on. His experience with the courts, as well as the case preparations we made at his direction, resulted in a successful plea at the infraction level. I highly recommend Atty. Green and the Nichols-Green Law Offices and would unhesitatingly retain his services again, should they be needed. read more

I retained Garrett Green to represent me in a traffic case (allegedly 80 mph in a 55 mph zone on I-395). I knew from our first call that he was the right attorney for me. I had spoken to other attorneys, but Garrett was the first one to inspire confidence. I'm happy to report that my first impression was spot on. Garrett explained the process thoroughly and provided reasonable expectations of the likely result. He also gave me excellent advice about what I needed to do. Equally important, he achieved an outstanding result that allowed me to avoid a reckless driving citation and have only a non-moving violation with no points! read more

I am extremely pleased with the representation from Mr. Garrett Green in court today. From the minute I contacted him about my case he provided advice and step by step actions I could take to help my case. He was professional and was honest about the possible outcomes of my case. Most lawyers I consulted with were snobby and greedy. I'm glad I went with him and in the end I had the best possible outcome for my case. I highly recommend him! I hope I never have to use him again personally, but if I do, I'll use him without a doubt! read more

Thanks Nichols and Green PLLC for deciding to cash a check wrote in June, 6 months later in December, ONE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS. No phone call for an explanation for the delay. Please inform me as to why, it took 6 months for you to get to the bank to deposit it? You were paid for your services in a promptly matter, so why did you fail to deposit the check? Why wait 180 days? Why wait 7 days before Christmas Eve to deposit it? read more

On May 28, 2015 in Fairfax County General District Court you had a hearing regarding your charge of Reckless Driving (82/55). After taking your case to trial, the Court agreed to reduce your charge of Reckless Driving (82/55) to a Speeding (74/55) conviction. Therefore, you were not convicted of a Criminal Misdemeanor, but only a simple traffic infraction! Mr. GREEN Did an outstanding job with my case, he's a hard worker & is a Professional at what he does! A+, 100% Thank you so much Mr.Green, and Nicols. You guys are Awsome. read more

See all

Personally, I'd give a 10/5 if I could. From being responsive and confident to the level of care your case will get, you'll be happy you chose Nichols & green. Ive had multiple driving infractions and I was sure there was no way in hell I'd get out of this one especially since it was allegedly "aggressive driving with intent to injure" which was total bs by the state trooper that pulled me over (he didn't like me, but I was being cheeky when he initiated the stop). Anyways, I called up Mr. Green after being recommended by a friend, I explained to him the whole situation, and right off the bat he had nothing but confidence and strategies to mitigate the situation. I got bumped down to an improper driving charge with good behavior (the best outcome I could ask for). I'm thankful for what this firm and Mr Green do, and I assure anyone that they will work with you and get the job done. All you have to do is make sure you don't just sit around and wait for the court date (volunteering, speedometer calibration, driving courses) and show the court that you are a beneficial member of society. Not only did I get lucky by having such a great defender, but I honestly learned a lesson and will not drive improperly. Thank you Mr Green, I truly do appreciate it. read more

Helped me out of a speeding ticket Atty Garrett Green was very helpful and the consummate professional throughout the process. Recommend without reservation! read more

Working with this law firm was probably the best decision I could have made given my situation. I was charged with a misdemeanor for what should have been a minor infraction. Here is how this law firm helped me out: 1. They made it easy for me to find them. After searching the ticket charge code online, the first result was by Mr Luke, that give detailed explanations of what the charge is. He even explain the potential implication for being charged for that ticket. 2. Consultation is free. Which made me feel really comfortable before I contacted them. 3. Before I actually requested their service, Mr Luke gave me great advice about how I can proceed with the case my self, without using his services to save money. It was a detailed explanation, and was highly appreciated. 4. The team is professional and organized, also very responsive. I called them 4 times, and regardless of who answered the phone, they knew what I was talking about immediately after pulling my file. 5. My whole interaction with this law firm was over the phone and email, which made it really easy and convenient for me. 6. Mr Luke got my case dismissed. read more

I called to inquire about their services. I was trying to change a moving violation to a non moving violation in order to avoid 1 point in my driving record, erroneously thinking that my insurance will not increase despite the accident if I can decrease the violation. The person I spoke to (Ben?) was so helpful and explained not just the insurance process but also how the DMV point system works and made me realize that the 1 point will not make a difference (my insurance will still increase regardless). I was just so impressed by the honest advise he gave over the phone for free. I hope I will never need a traffic lawyer in the future, but if I do I will use this company. They're very knowledgeable and trustworthy. read more

Amazing service I highly recommend these guys they really helped me I was facing jail time & fines for reckless driving 88 in a 55 which they negotiated to a simple traffic violation! Dropping the misdemeanor charges in the state of VA!!! read more

Top notch legal firm. I highly recommend this firm. I hired Mr. Nicholas because I was frustrated with the first attorney I hired to represent in traffic court. My case had been continued once. I was charged with going 70 in a 55. Mr. Nicholas spoke with the Commonwealth and reduced the ticket to faulty equipment. I am very pleased with the outcome. I am able to maintain my excellent driving record and my insurance will not be affected. I highly recommend Mr. Nicholas for representation on any legal matter you are facing. I hope I do not need an attorney in the future but shoud I; I will only use this firm. read more

Being an out of state driver and encountering some of Falls Church's more interesting driving laws I decided to seek legal representation. Calling their office was an easy process. I was able to talk to Mr. Green about my situation and he clearly explained all my options. This was even before I committed to enlisting his services. He kept me in the loop as our case went through the legal system. Our conversations never felt rushed and he always took the time to decipher the legalese for me. His high level of preparation allowed him to tackle my issue from multiple angles which I firmly believe led to a resolution in my favor. No one likes traffic tickets and no one likes going to court. Mr. Green did an excellent job of handling both on my behalf. His attention to detail and welcoming demeanor made a painful process go as smooth as possible. read more

Both Garrett and Luke are very professional, accessible and highly qualified in representing their clients. I'm very happy with them and would highly recommend them. read more

Very simple and easy process-everything was thoroughly explained and I felt very at ease the entire time. I'd highly recommend them!

Reckless driving was dropped to a minor speeding ticket. Mr. Nichols represented me as an attorney, and he was straight forward and let me know what I needed to do to prepare to have the best fighting chance. Not going to sugarcoat it. It was a lot of work, but I completed everything (plus more to show that I was taking this violation seriously). In the end, even though the judge and prosecutor who showed up to handle my case were known to be tough, they've agreed to reduce my charge to a minor speeding ticket. One thing to keep in mind for anyone who's in a similar situation (This is something I didn't know): All of the negotiation with the prosecutor is done on the day of your court date because the name of the prosecutor is not known until the day before. Even though you may feel anxious and nervous, there is nothing that can be done until the day of. Just do what your attorney asks you to do, so he can go and negotiate on your behalf as best as he can. Mr. Nichols knew the people at the court and is certainly knowledgeable about traffic cases. Best of luck. read more

Great professional demur. Had my reckless driving 86/55 decriminalized to simple speeding. Consequences otherwise were quite severe. Highly recommended for consideration read more

Great legal firm, very professional and helpful, and provides upfront and honest advice. I was charged with going 60 in a 35, but didn't get a reckless driving. Being concerned about my insurance premium as a male driver in his 20s, I called Nichols & Green to defend me. Mr. Nichols spoke to the prosecutor at court and was able to reduce my ticket to a 44 in a 35, which is a far less hefty fine and will only marginally impact my insurance. Nichols & Green is highly recommended! read more

highly recommend - I had to address the firm twice within last 12 months for speeding, first case in Fairfax court was handled by Mr Green, second, in Manassas - by Mr. Nichols. Both resolved successfully, with significant reduction of miles over the limit, Mr. Green was able to even avoid 'speeding' classification in the first case and instead it has been qualified as 'failed to obey hwy sign', the second case resulted into quite a low fine. Communication while preparing for hearings was timely and transparent. The service is definitely worth the fee. read more

Got charged with reckless driving and i hired mr green for his good reviews and i ended up getting charged with everything plus jail, he has no experience with reckless driving and couldn't talk to the prosecutor for a deal ended up getting my background messed up. If you need a good lawyer dont waste ur time hiring Him. read more

From the beginning, Garrett Green was professional, responsive, empathetic, and most of all, effective in all the dealings with my case. I was charged with two counts of reckless handling of a firearm, a first-time criminal charge. Mr. Green was very thorough during my consultation and asked all the right questions. He then advised me in the steps I should take up to the court date. I followed all his advice and soon realized how good advice it was. Mr. Green was honest, straightforward, and realistic throughout my entire case. Mr. Green was able to negotiate and settle with the prosecutor, have one charge amended, and the other charge dismissed. I am very satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend Mr. Green and his firm, Nichols & Green PLLC, to anyone looking for representation. read more

I am extremely Satisfied with all of your services I can't thank you enough for all you have done for me and I will highly recommend your services to anyone needing a top notch attorney. Thank you so much Mr. Nichols!!! read more
