Services
Greenspun Shapiro PC achieves excellence in criminal and traffic defense, personal injury, and other civil matters in state and federal courts. The firm has earned the respect of the Northern Virginia community by defending individuals in difficult and often high-profile cases, ranging from criminal murder and manslaughter charges to DWI / DUI charges and minor traffic violations such as reckless driving and speeding.

Our Fairfax Criminal Defense Lawyers Will Provide a Tenacious and Thorough Criminal Defense for You. There were more than 305,000 arrests made in Virginia in 2014, according to the State Department of Police. Each of those people charged with a crime faced a unique set of circumstances, a different number of legal options to pursue, and an individual outcome that may or may not have met their personal goals.
Let Our Experienced Fairfax Drug Offense Attorneys Build a Strong Defense and Aggressively Fight the Charges You Face. Unlike many other states, Virginia aggressively prosecutes drug offenses, including possession of small amounts of marijuana. The penalties can be harsh-decades in prison, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record.
Driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs is a serious matter in Virginia. Even for first time offenders, the penalties can be severe and cause far-reaching consequences for those convicted. While it may seem embarrassing or isolating, these charges can be surprisingly common.
Over 20,000 people were convicted of a DUI charge in Virginia last year and many more were arrested on suspicion, according to the state department of motor vehicles.While it can seem difficult, finding effective legal representation is often the first step to minimizing the negative consequences and obtaining the best possible outcome for your situation.

My son was informed that he was being investigated by Federal agents for a crime that could result in felony charges. Neither my son nor anyone in our family had ever dealt with criminal charges nor the legal proceedings associated. Thankfully, another professional highly recommended Peter Greenspun. From the first time we met with Peter, it was clear that he was knowledgeable, experienced, and that he cared about my son as a person and not just a client. He recommended positive actions my son could take to mitigate his situation in the event he was eventually arrested. Although my son was ultimately

This firm is amazing. Everyone the entire staff. From the front desk to my attorneys, every one. I cant say it enough Im so thankful for all the work Peter and Anastasia did for me, I love them. They made the whole process as simple and easy for me. I did very little, Im sure I was frustrating at times, but they were still very patient with me. I couldn't ask for a better law firm. I would use them again if needed and I highly recommend them 100%. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

Simply put I call MR. Greenspan a miracle worker in my opinion. I was facing multiple felony charges with a maximum sentence of 11 years. Mr Greenspan not only was able to work out a great deal for me but handled him self and this case in the court room like a true champion. He was the reason that my sentence was 17months. He fought for me and he never backs down from what he believes in. He will not give you false hope nor baby you. If your looking for a great lawyer that will keep it honest, real and most of all get you result he is your guy. His assistant Vanessa is awesome and great at communicating

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.

Last December, an unexpected accusation and a subsequent overzealous investigation turned my life upside down, trampling on my hard-earned career and reputation.
Out of desperation, a friend who had read about Mr. Greenspun's stellar work in the Washington Post reached out to him on my behalf. It was a Saturday afternoon and Mr. Greenspun called back in an hour and agreed to meet me on Sunday.He was attentive, personable, reassuring that I called him on the spot.
My decision paid off. in the following several months, Mr. Greenspun lived up to his reputation and my expectation. As a result of

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

I was facing two years in jail for a probation violation. Muhammad is GREAT at what he does. He walked me through everything from beginning to end but also did his best to prepare me for the worst case scenario. He really gets to know his clients vs. other lawyers that just see a file. I ended up serving no time. Not even an extension on my probation. You can tell by his delivery in court that he knows what he's doing. Thank you for everything, Muhammad!

Muhammad Elsayed was extremely knowledgeable, honest and provided fantastic advice regarding my reckless driving citation in Virginia that ran the risk of not only 6 points on my driving record and hefty fine, but a misdemeanor on my record! With his help, we were able to get the ticket reduced to a simple speeding ticket, only 4 points and no misdemeanor! I am certain my outcome would not have been this successful if not for him!!! Thank you Muhammad for your time and exceptional personalized attention to my case! I highly recommend this attorney!

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

I was represented by Mikhail Lopez and was extremely happy with my experience. Mikhail was excellent from start to finish. I was very impressed with how thorough he was in preparing for my hearing. He always looked at things from all angles and considered what the prosecution's response might be to every particular point. The motion he wrote up was excellent. It was extremely thorough and well-written. Even the judge made a comment about how well written/prepared it was during the hearing. In the courtroom, Mikhail was extremely composed and confident. He also gave me honest and realistic expectations

My fiancee and I retained this firm, and Anastasia Kranias in particular for help obtaining a protective order. We were frightened, both of the process and the outcome. I could tell you that Anastasia helped us win a protective order and to reaffirm that after an appeal- what is more important is HOW she did it. Lots of lawyers know how to cross-examine, or know relevant caselaw. What stood out to us was her sense of calm and professional diligence. She was incredibly responsive to every call or email. We felt like really important clients even though we knew she had other (and bigger) cases. Managing

He is the man you need to have on your side when your in real deep ____!
He is very popular in the media and on covers of many popular magazines and newspaper articles.
You have probably seen him in the case of John Allen Mohammed on news television, sure he didn't win that case for obvious reasons, but if you really look into his 100's if yet 1000's of cases, he has well over 90% winnings.
