I retained Peter for a false accusation and being an out of state resident I was truly concerned especially given my public status. I was referred to Peter by friend in DC who said he was the best you can find. They were not wrong. Peter is thorough, to the point, has deep seated relationships in Fairfax which is key, understands your issue and has the best track record of anyone there. If you are in need of legal assistance and need The Best, he is your guy I am proud to have been a client and once again assured I made the best choice.

Mr. Greenspun and his staff show their experience by being so thorough and prepared. He helped me anticipate any twists or turns that may have arisen, and set me at ease with his knowledge and professionalism.

I was referred to Mr. Greenspun by a friend. Mr. Greenspun is professional, caring, and easy to speak to. I was facing very serious felony charges. Every single day for the past six months, that was all I had on my mind. I was afraid that I would be going to jail for a very long time. On the day of my trial, I was scared. When he told me that the charges were dropped, I was in complete shock. I couldn’t believe it was finally over. Sometimes it seems that lawyers aren't doing much, however, in Mr. Greenspun’s case, they're working harder than what we realize. It’s a trying time in our life but we need to be patient. He and his staff did an awesome job from the day I visited and hired them. Mr. Greenspun is Responsive, Reliable, Competent, Empathetic and an Excellent attorney, with your best interest in mind. The staff is caring and serve their clients with a high-end approach. I don't have the words to express my gratitude to you Mr. Greenspun. Thank you for everything you and your staff have done for me and my family. I would highly recommend Mr. Greenspun.

If you need help with a criminal charge this is the law firm to hire. Never in my life did I expect to be in such a horrible position in the criminal justice system. I was arrested and held without bond for a felony and misdemeanor charge. Within hours of my wife contacting Peter and Muhammad they began working on getting me released. They were successful in getting me released the next day. They worked very closely with me and listened to everything I had to tell them. Peter asked numerous questions and made me feel at ease during the entire process. At no time did I feel like I was just another client they were simply collecting money from. During every step they kept me informed of what was going on, the conversations they had with the prosecutor, email traffic, etc. Peter also set very real expectations and didn't promise anything, yet at the same time still ensured me that he would do everything in his power. Peter is well known throughout the NOVA area and his reputation is well known. One of the things I really appreciated about working with Peter is that he never tried to force me to do anything, take any deals or pleas that I wasn't comfortable with. He always gave me options and let me make the decision with pros and cons for each decision. With a plea agreement on the table I still elected to go to trial. Peter was prepared. There was a lot of back and forth immediately before the trial and Peter was never once hesitant in doing this. I was facing 10 years for the felony and some more time for the misdemeanor. Peter understood all of this and was more than comfortable going to trial, especially given the circumstances of what transpired. In the end within 5 minutes of the trial starting the trial was stopped and Peter and the prosecutor left the courtroom, came back 5 minutes later and the case was dismissed. The professionalism Peter and his firm displayed is top notch. I hope to never use them again but if for some reason I have to I won't take a millisecond to think about who I'm going to call. Thank you Peter and Muhammad for all you've done for me and my family. I am grateful for you and giving us our life back.

Choosing to retain Anastasia at the law firm of Greenspun Shapiro for the purpose of handling a motion to amend my probation was a great choice. She was wonderful to work with, warm and caring, and always very responsive even during the holiday season. I will definitely keep her in mind for any future legal assistance needs.

From the start, I knew Peter was the right choice. I met with he and Muhammad and they immediately asked all the right questions and proceeded with focused advice. Peter had to navigate both the court and the media for me, reminding me often what should and should not be responded to. I never once felt unprepared for court appearances or questioned what would happen before the judge. He always prepared me for everything. He is sublimely knowledgeable, extraordinarily prepared...he is simply the best.

One of the hardest things I had to do in my life was to choose a defense attorney for my brother criminal case as he was in no shape to do it for himself. During this time I met with few different Law firms. However, when I met with Peter, I got really impressed by him for being very patient in listening to my brother’s condition. Me and my family were also very impressed by his past cases. After listening to everything, Peter gave us very realistic goals and advice. Peter and his associate,Muhammad provided us with excellent legal advice and guidance to my brother and our family for the case. We are really thankful to Peter Greenspun for all he and his team did for us. Throughout the trial period he and his team stayed in communication with my brother and our family. And explained what was going on with trial every step of the way. He and his team worked tirelessly and one of the thing that really impressed me was he was prepared and thought all different angles of the case. In short, after hiring peter and his team we felt like we hired the right lawyer for my brother’s case. They were very effective and were there for my brother every step of the way. They got the result my brother and I was looking and this would have not been possible without Peter, Muhammad and support of his team. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone in need of legal advice

I am extremely thankful to have had Peter Greenspun represent me during a terrifying and stressful time in my life. With a murder allegation in front of me, no criminal record, and no experience with the legal system, I was in despair. Before Peter, I was working with another “good” lawyer, but it soon became clear to me that Peter is of a different caliber. He came to meet with me while I was in jail on a Sunday evening and I was immediately impressed with his sense of urgency, work ethic, and approach to my circumstance. He was not able to focus attention to my case immediately as he was busy working hard on another client’s trial– nonetheless, he had another attorney from his firm, Anastasia Kranias, come to see me shortly after I made the decision to hire him and she got the ball rolling on my defense right away. The first order of business was getting bond, which Peter did successfully after my first attorney could not. While this was an uphill battle, Peter did his homework before the bond hearing- although he had a short period of time to review my case, he had already become acquainted enough with it to rebut every single one of the Commonwealth’s opposition points plus more, he had done his research on my personal history, and he was able to cite a decent list of prior relevant cases. Soon after, Peter had to fight through another obstacle as the Commonwealth appealed the judge’s bond decision. Thanks to Peter’s strong response, the court of appeals decided not to revoke my bond. Through 2 continuances and a 2 week trial, I consistently experienced the same from Peter- he worked tirelessly, he was thorough, he was tenacious, he was prepared- thinking of everything from all different angles. I believe he had my best interest in mind as there were many occasions he could have taken short cuts, but did not. There were times when he could have simply acted on my decisions, probably poor ones made from being emotionally and mentally drained or simply being frightened, but he took the time to help me think clearly- somehow this seemed to always happen towards the end of the day when he could have been enjoying dinner with his family or getting some rest, perhaps. Several times I sat in his office and he advised me in the same manner my own father would have advised me -with the addition of many years of experience as a defense attorney. Most importantly, Peter is effective. I was acquitted of all charges and a heavy weight has been lifted from my chest – this would not have been possible without Peter, Anastasia and their support team.

She was wonderful to work with, warm and caring, and always very responsive even during the holiday season. I will definitely keep her in mind for any future legal assistance needs.

From the start, I knew Peter was the right choice. I met with he and Muhammad and they immediately asked all the right questions and proceeded with focused advice. Peter had to navigate both the court and the media for me, reminding me often what should and should not be responded to. I never once felt unprepared for court appearances or questioned what would happen before the judge. He always prepared me for everything. He is sublimely knowledgeable, extraordinarily prepared...he is simply the best.

One of the hardest things I had to do in my life was to choose a defense attorney for my brother criminal case as he was in no shape to do it for himself. During this time I met with few different Law firms. However, when I met with Peter, I got really impressed by him for being very patient in listening to my brother’s condition. Me and my family were also very impressed by his past cases. After listening to everything, Peter gave us very realistic goals and advice. Peter and his associate,Muhammad provided us with excellent legal advice and guidance to my brother and our family for the case. We are really thankful to Peter Greenspun for all he and his team did for us. Throughout the trial period he and his team stayed in communication with my brother and our family. And explained what was going on with trial every step of the way. He and his team worked tirelessly and one of the thing that really impressed me was he was prepared and thought all different angles of the case. In short, after hiring peter and his team we felt like we hired the right lawyer for my brother’s case. They were very effective and were there for my brother every step of the way. They got the result my brother and I was looking and this would have not been possible without Peter, Muhammad and support of his team. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone in need of legal advice

I've known Peter and Anastasia for years, had a unique traffic violation come up recently and they handled it for me. Very professional and caring, knowing I had them to handle it for me made it much less stressful. Would highly recommend for any legal issues whether small or large.

I am extremely thankful to have had Peter Greenspun represent me during a terrifying and stressful time in my life. With a murder allegation in front of me, no criminal record, and no experience with the legal system, I was in despair. Before Peter, I was working with another “good” lawyer, but it soon became clear to me that Peter is of a different caliber. He came to meet with me while I was in jail on a Sunday evening and I was immediately impressed with his sense of urgency, work ethic, and approach to my circumstance. He was not able to focus attention to my case immediately as he was busy working hard on another client’s trial– nonetheless, he had another attorney from his firm, Anastasia Kranias, come to see me shortly after I made the decision to hire him and she got the ball rolling on my defense right away. The first order of business was getting bond, which Peter did successfully after my first attorney could not. While this was an uphill battle, Peter did his homework before the bond hearing- although he had a short period of time to review my case, he had already become acquainted enough with it to rebut every single one of the Commonwealth’s opposition points plus more, he had done his research on my personal history, and he was able to cite a decent list of prior relevant cases. Soon after, Peter had to fight through another obstacle as the Commonwealth appealed the judge’s bond decision. Thanks to Peter’s strong response, the court of appeals decided not to revoke my bond. Through 2 continuances and a 2 week trial, I consistently experienced the same from Peter- he worked tirelessly, he was thorough, he was tenacious, he was prepared- thinking of everything from all different angles. I believe he had my best interest in mind as there were many occasions he could have taken short cuts, but did not. There were times when he could have simply acted on my decisions, probably poor ones made from being emotionally and mentally drained or simply being frightened, but he took the time to help me think clearly- somehow this seemed to always happen towards the end of the day when he could have been enjoying dinner with his family or getting some rest, perhaps. Several times I sat in his office and he advised me in the same manner my own father would have advised me -with the addition of many years of experience as a defense attorney. Most importantly, Peter is effective. I was acquitted of all charges and a heavy weight has been lifted from my chest – this would not have been possible without Peter, Anastasia and their support team.
