Case Results

Why we share our case results

Many law firms place client testimonials and case results on their website, twitter accounts and Facebook. The client testimonials are never signed by the client and the law firm’s case results section is usually the attorney describing his victory with little in the way of corroboration. Simply put, as a potential client you have no way to verify the accuracy or truthfulness of the firm’s case results. Attorney review sites are also useless because nothing prevents a law firm from writing their own reviews or enlisting the help of family or friends to write glowing reviews on the firm’s behalf.

Rather than follow in the footsteps of those firms, we are giving you access to actual case dispositions for cases that Mr. Leiva has handled in Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Stafford counties. Because our clients’ privacy is of the utmost importance, we have redacted their names and any personal information to protect their identities. By reviewing the case dispositions, you can judge for yourself the types of cases that we handle and the results Mr. Leiva has been able to obtain for his clients. Simply click the links below.

UNDERSTAND THAT EACH CASE IS DIFFERENT WITH DIFFERENT SETS OF FACTS AND LEGAL ISSUES. AS SUCH, THE CASE DISPOSITIONS PROVIDED ARE NOT MEANT TO SUGGEST THAT YOU WILL GET THE SAME RESULTS. YOUR CASE MUST FIRST BE EVALUATED BASED ON THE SPECIFIC FACTS OF YOUR CASE AND ONLY THEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO GIVE A FAIR ASSESSMENT OF YOUR CASE.
