Kter Malkut is my pen name. My name is Rozain C. Chitty…read more Extremely dishonest law firm. I am a Maryland attorney who advised my nephew who had a dui issue in DC to hire scrofano law based on their reviews. I was also in contact with another attorney who said he would have to plead guilty and get on a program where he could have his record cleared. Her charge was $3500. Chris Muttimer from Scrofano law told my nephew that he would not have to plead guilty and that they could get a non-prosecution and wanted $5000. My nephew was keen to go that route. AFTER the payment of $5000 there was a guilty plea and they did exactly what the other attorney had promised to do. In addition it was extremely difficult to get them to finish the submission of the paperwork after the program was over, Mr Muttimer is no longer with the firm and I wrote to Mr. Scrofano explaining what happened and my concern because I advised my nephew to hire their firm. I asked him for a refund of $1500. He did not respond. I am hoping to file a complaint with the DC Bar regarding the unethical behavior on the part of the firm.

Absolutely one of the very best criminal law firms in DC that also charges very reasonable fees…read more While I hope not to need Joe's services in the future, if problems arise, he will be the attorney who I will call. Oh, I forgot to mention that some years back I also practiced law in both DC & MD, so this review is by someone who knows a REALLY GREAT LAWYER & LAW FIRM from years of experience.

Sometimes I think people take more time to complain than to praise. But there is nothing but…read morepraise for Mr. Flynn, who was assigned to a family member's case, and with all things considered (personal info), Mr. Flynn got him the best deal possible. Without Mr. Flynn, things could have been much worse for this family member. Let me get specific...Mr. Flynn treated my family member with respect & compassion; he LISTENED to my family member and took into account the motive and reasons for something unfortunate that happened. Normal places and lawyers seem to want to churn through their clients, but not Mr. Flynn. Once the deal was offered, we pondered it together as a family. Mr. Flynn did not push my family member either way, just offered his expert advice and allowed my family member to make his own decision without pressure. After we met with the judge, Mr. Flynn sat with us again to explain everything in GREAT detail and answer any & all questions we had. We felt informed. We felt respected. And we felt that Mr. Flynn really cared out his client. I was taken aback at the way he immersed himself in our situation. Once all was said and done, Mr Flynn sat with me and told me that, although my family member did a bad thing (off his meds), he said that he believes this person to be a truly good person who found himself in a bad situation. I believe he truly, ooly cares. I will be grateful for that for a long, long time and yes...I would recommend Mr. Flynn to anyone smart enough to choose him. I told him to tell his mother that she raised him well. :)

If it wasn't for him I would have had a conviction, which would had not been good for my future even if it was just a misdemeanor. I am grateful for his services and I recommend Mr. Flynn to anyone who needs a good supportive lawyer. He is the best lawyer I have met in Arlington and his services are not overpriced like other lawyers. Thank you Flynn Law Firm, I will always recommend you.

I was first charged with felony assault, which was then reduced to two counts of misdemeanor…read moreassault and then finally was found not guilty of both charges. As with any matter where you will need an attorney, you should choose wisely. I not only called close friends and spoke to close family members about any personal suggestions and came up with a short list of people to talk to. I called about 8 attorneys, spoke at length with about 5 of them, met with three of them and then finally selected Jason. Jason was quick on his toes and his trial experience was very apparent when it came down to the different testimonies - Jason was quick on his toes with insightful and quick remarks that seemed innocent but were strong blows to prosecution's arguments. Jason's rate's were certainly competitive but he is certainly not a second tier attorney. His office is littered with awards and distinctions but he does not boast about them nor his winning streak (of over 14 or so wins/favorable outcomes at the time of my case and was still counting). I will certainly keep Jason on my contact list in case anyone I know needs any of his services. Jason was more than accommodating to work with my tight work schedule and agreed to meet in convenient locations outside of his office since it was much easier for me and then I did not have to take off from work excessively. My case lasted for months and I must have appeared in court about 12 times or so. Jason was patient and didn't try to rush anything, even though the longer it drew out the more time he had to spend. Thanks Jason!

I have been through the horrible experience of needing legal representation and at first, I felt…read morehelpless and confused. It's easy to get swallowed up into the system and feel like you don't have someone on your side and that you're fighting "the man" all by yourself. Luckily, there are people like Mr. Akulian out there. He is charismatic and friendly, but turns into a bulldog in the courtroom. He has experience on both sides (prosecution and defense) - so while he is defending you, he has keen insights on how the prosecution may be developing their case. That is a huge benefit when you're facing jail time. He is always willing to answer questions and goes above and beyond to make you feel more at ease with the case and how it's progressing. I highly recommend Mr. Akulian - he will fight for you, and you will have a true advocate on your side.

His relentless efforts to protect your rights and ensure you are represented well will make an already stressful situation less traumatic.

Louis nearly ruined my life. I had to fire Louis because he never filed a motion for discovery in…read moremy case. Had he done this, he would have realized that Fairfax County had NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE against me. 19 years old and facing serious drug charges, Louis charged me $10,000 and proceeded to do little or no work on my case. Louis made me feel that my case was helpless unless I cooperated with police to have charges against me dismissed. This is a horrible and corrupt practice and my feelings on this have never changed: I, in no way, ever felt comfortable being coerced into participating in this dangerous and grossly corrupt practice. Having teenage girls do the investigative legwork of experienced law enforcement is not advice I expected to receive from my very expensive advocate. Ever heard of "Rachel's Law"? A few years before my case, this law was passed because Rachel Hoffman was murdered while acting as a police informant in exchange for her own freedom. On many occasion Louis said things like: "I've had clients turn on cousins, on their own brothers and mothers and fathers (...), it's very normal and common", in an attempt to normalize betrayal. I had a strong feeling that this is the way he has figured to "win" cases like this, so I fired Louis. Although I was young and and ignorant, I knew he wasn't doing what I needed and wanted him to do for my case to have a favorable outcome. The next attorney I had was shocked when they found Louis had never filed for a discovery motion. They got my case thrown out 30 minutes into one hearing. Louis had me travel to and from my University in New York City numerous times for cases that always got continued, because I would not cooperate in a police investigation. This is a person I would warn potential clients to stay away from. A genuine Billy Flynn type who likes to Razzle Dazzle.

If I could give this man 0 stars, I would!…read more This man is the worst attorney I've ever had to deal with. SO on 10/5/2023 me and my ex-gf got into an argument over a dog, I stated several times I wanted to be left alone, and she came downstairs in the townhouse we were staying and assaulted me SEVERAL times, even though I told her several times to leave me alone. So, after the argument turned physical due to her actions, I called the cops, and they arrested me because she claimed I tried to "kill her", which was all a lie. Fast forward to me getting booked/process at Fairfax County ADC, after I got out, I did a google search for lawyers in my area. Guess who came up first? Louis Kleinman. I reached out to him, and things seem to be going well, until we actually went to court the first time. This f*ckin idiot had me plead no contest to an emergency protection order, he put up no fight at all. I lost my firearms temporarily, but still he was utterly useless. So several court dates go by, and we had a few continuances, and again he did not fight for me. So at this point I'm asking him what deals can be made to ensure I don't get any felony charges or jail time, and again he was acting like an old, tired dog. He DID NOT get the discovery for evidence purposes, he DID NOT call any witnesses, I had to tell my friend who was involved to come with me. Several months go by, which at this point is almost a year since the incident happened, and he still hasn't done SH*T! I got fed up, and contemplated taking the plea deal that'll knock down my felony charge to a "lesser" felony charge just to get this whole thing over with. By the grace of God, something in my spirit spoke to me, and made me ask around for another lawyer. In comes Jonathan Oates in Fairfax. I got in contact with Mr. Oates, and we got to work right away. To long story short it, Mr. Oates did more work in a few months than Mr. Kleiman did in a whole f*ckin year! And now I'm a free man after hearing a not guilty verdict!! Had Mr. Kleiman done his f*ckin job/work, he would've seen that my ex-gf was a LIAR, and the evidence that the goofy a** prosecutor had was absolute garbage. To be honest I don't even know why he took that case anyway, but hey HIS loss. So to wrap this review up, DO NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM hire Louis Kleiman as your defense attorney. He will NOT, file for any discovery in your case, he will NOT fight for you, and he surely will NOT be worth the money. Stay far away from him as humanly possible. The amount of incompetence I experienced with him was worse that the Three Stooges, and that's me putting it lightly. PLEASE PLEASE for the love of God, hire someone who's actually going to fight for you, BECAUSE LOUIS KLEIMAN WILL NOT.

The quality of services provided by this DSK Low firm was by far substandard with obvious…read moredis-interest. I doubt they treat the paying clients the same way of this Pro Bono case. (Court appointed case). The firm services are border line unethical. The attorney associate representing us during the hearing did not know the case details, status, and evidence. I was surprised the attorney did not use the evidence in the court. He did not want to wait to defend his client who is already incarcerated, and officers need to bring him out to attend the hearing. Instead, he continued the hearing for another 3 weeks rather than trying to get a bond or get his client out of incarceration. When talking to him after the hearing, he was surprised with the evidence and on me: "I am not a social worker". please note I provided the evidence to the attorney trough his office and through text messages. during the 2 years, I was not able to talk to the attorney once. The office will not even give me the courtesy of replying to my communications. Not by text or email or phone.
