Services

Birmiel earned his law degree from the University of Baltimore in 1975 and established himself as a well-known practitioner of real estate, small business, and bankruptcy law in Northern Virginia. Mr. Birmiel chaired the Coalition to Retain Independent Services in Settlements in 1992 and served as a director of the Virginia Real Estate Attorneys League.
We enjoy helping Northern Virginia families make their largest and most challenging financial decision - the purchase of a home. Our law firm also works with businesses on commercial property transactions, including leases. We assist you through the important steps to help you feel certain that all pieces are in place.
At the law office of Howard A. Birmiel, we help you prepare all the legal documents necessary to start your business. Our law firm advises and assists you throughout the many stages of business formation. We continue to represent your interests during business disputes that involve legal negotiation or litigation.
We help individuals and families having serious financial difficulties. Filing for bankruptcy is a difficult decision, and we work closely with our clients to determine your best course of action for relief from overwhelming debt. If you can answer "yes" to any of the above questions, a Virginia bankruptcy may be right for you.
To get answers to your real estate, bankruptcy, or business law questions, contact Howard A. Birmiel, Attorney at Law. Our initial phone consultation is free. A settlement company recommended by your real estate agent is likely to have a connected relationship to the transaction, which does not put your interests first.

Do not recommend going here. Overpriced, low quality services. Excuses for mistakes and delays. Front desk and lawyers here are lazy and incompetent. Do not use for legal advice and do not trust Howard, likely to go out of business soon.

Mr. Birmiel is the embodiment of old school. That means he is thorough, insightful and not reluctant to 'go for the throat' in crucial negotiations. His attention to details and deep experience saved me from a potential disaster when I sold my business.
My only regret is not knowing of him earlier in my business career.
Top notch legal talent is hard to come by. Use Howard Birmiel and you will get the utmost in quality representation.
I've had my share of lawyers in my life, none of whom compare to Howard.

As far as law firms go this company gives lawyers and law firms a very bad wrap. In the course of over a year I have reached out to the firm to resolve an error on a property deed and I have constantly gotten no email response. When I do call the office I get the run around answer of โ€œwe plan on looking into itโ€ , โ€œ I have your file on my table โ€œ and yet completely no resolution. This has been going on for over a year. The firm is highly unprofessional so I decided to use another lawyer. Would not recommend this firm

We were able to get a hold of Mr. Birmiel at 7PM. He was thoughtful, experienced, and insightful in helping us get things right on a real estate deal. He didn't jump to a conclusion and carefully listened to make sure he got the facts right. We will use him again but much earlier in the transaction.

Post closing celebration with my clients. Howard has been my real estate settlement attorney for 30 years. If he was not the best at what he does I would not refer him to my real estate clients. We have closed many deals together and I always know it's going to be done professionally, expediently and accurately. Give him a call for all legal things real estate he will be extraordinarily helpful!

Howard did a great job with our house settlement. He helped us with the purchase contract through multiple revisions and processed our closing at a fair price. Would definitely work with Howard again.

Howard and his team did a great job on my residential real estate closing. I wanted to have a personalized, streamlined process, so opted for a local firm instead of a standard settlement company. The service at Howard Birmiel Attorneys at Law was top notch and the settlement went off without a hitch. Very happy.
