Tom Walsh is a seasoned, skilled trial lawyer. I trusted him with the biggest case of my life and I have no regrets. Tom has the unique combination of common sense, people skills, and legal expertise. Some lawyers are only book smart, while others are only street smart -- Tom is the total package. He can talk to people, figure things out, and still be up on the current state of the law and make compelling legal arguments. Tom is honest, hard-working, experienced, and very good at what he does. He tried a great case and secured an amazingly good result. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Late November in 2018, I was arrested in Prince William county and charged with 1st degree murder & use of a firearm in the commission of a murder & was facing 25 years to LIFE in prison. While Incarcerated I went though two different lawyers before I was given Mr. Thomas Walsh’s number from a friend of a friend after he handled her case and got her charges completely dismissed. After meeting with my parents than me he was hired. Mr. Walsh came by and interviewed me in jail and started his own investigation on my case. Mr. Walsh got down in the streets and tracked down witnesses along side his investigator and where able to find witnesses , address and homes of incidents correlating to my cases investigation , witnesses that police nor detectives on the case never interviewed or investigated !! Mr. Walsh worked day and night tirelessly while I was in jail incarcerated waiting for trial. After a year of being incarcerated Mr. Walsh got me bond when there was almost no chance of bond considering my murder charge. After staying on bond for two years Mr. Walsh was prepared to go to trial and was looking forward to the trial as he was well prepared and confident in my defense. The Prosecution knew Mr. Walsh knew the case better than anyone, including the police and detectives. The case was concluded to the prosecution amending and reducing my murder charge to a lesser charge and offered me a no contest plea and time served for which I served 1 year before bond. Tomas Walsh is an amazing lawyer! and everyone that works along side him, they treated my family with respect and love during and after the case. I Thank God and am Grateful for Tom & his Great Experience. I would recommend Tom and trust him with anyones legal needs any day!

Mr. Walsh took on a tough trial for a second time DUI for me and got it dropped. He did a great job listening to the details of my specific case and gathering all of the information/details needed. Despite it being what I thought as a very hard trial, he went above and beyond to get the charge dropped.

Mr. Walsh handled the case in a very timely and professional matter. I learned you need both knowledge of the legal system and vast experience to navigate any case. Mr. Walsh leveraged both when needed to bring about the best possible outcome. Very responsive when communication was needed to include holidays and weekends. I would recommend Mr. Walsh to handle any case you have.

I was charged with a misdemeanor and was extremely nervous with what could potentially happen to me. Fortunately I had the privilege of contacting Tom Walsh and his paralegal Debra. Tom immediately impressed with his vast knowledge of the Fairfax County court system. He is a well respected attorney who works with the prosecution and judge to come to an equitable agreement. He is able to put your mind at ease by explaining all the potential options that are available. Because of Tom, I was not required to pay a fine or have jail time. I would highly and completely recommend him to handle your legal needs.

We hired Tom to represent our son who faced a very dire situation which called for an attorney who had experience, tenacity and a firm understanding of the law. Tom not only met those requirements he worked long & hard to give my son the best possible outcome. He delivered. This is the attorney to go to if you need an outstanding criminal lawyer.

Facing frightening, embarrassing, and unfamiliar legal options, attorney Thomas Walsh and his staff handled my criminal case objectively and professionally. As a working professional I had a lot on the line. Needless to say, any kind of charges or arrest records would have jeopardized my career. Mr. Walsh's cool, calm and collected approach instantly put my nerves at ease. I was fortunate to have him represent me. Mr. Walsh handled the interactions with the court and gained a verdict very positive to my situation, as a result I am eligible for an expungement. A situation that could have done irreparable harm to my career is now just a bad memory. I am very happy with the outcome of my case, and owe it all to his experience, guidance and expertise. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a fighting chance before the courts.

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I had a high BAC yet he looked at every single detail and found everything possible to lower the charge. He let me know every step of the way where I stood and the outcomes possible. He ended up taking to the case to trial and got it dismissed! Best decision in my life to trust his judgement.

Tom Walsh is great! Now, I am biased because he got a good outcome, and no lawyer has “magic hands.” However, Tom is as close as it gets. He managed to step in and prevent having to go through the rigors of a trial. He is the type of attorney that other attorneys recommend. He was known by the prosecutor, having won against her in their prior trial, and the judge recognized him in the court. It was good knowing that experience and reputation were being leveraged against the charges. Overall, Tom possesses the proficiency, demeanor, and edge one would want if they had to argue their case before a judge or jury. Otherwise, he is great in making it not get to that point. Definitely recommended if you need a criminal attorney in Fairfax, Alexandria, or anywhere in Northern Virginia for that matter.
