About David J Dischley

David Dischley took a non-traditional route to becoming a lawyer. Enlisting in the Marine Corps right out of high school, Attorney Dischley served four years as a U.S. Marine. During that time, he obtained valuable life experience that contributes significantly to his success as a lawyer. After the Marines and obtaining his Associates Degree from Northern Virginia Community College, Attorney Dischley worked full time as he finished his undergraduate studies at George Mason University (GMU).

Contemporaneously with attending GMU, Attorney Dischley worked for the United States Department of State as a Uniformed Officer and for XM Satellite Radio as an NRCC Controller. Upon graduating from GMU, Attorney Dischley attended Albany Law School for his first year. After finishing in the top 16% of his class, Attorney Dischley transferred to George Mason University's School of Law. Attorney Dischley graduated from law school and passed the bar in 2006.

Attorney Dischley's first legal job was with the Office of the Commonwealth Attorney in Loudoun County. In this position, Attorney Dischley prosecuted a variety of criminal cases from DUI | DWI, Reckless Driving to Murder Cases. Having spent three (3) years in that office, Attorney Dischley left prosecuting to work for a government contractor in Northern Virginia. In this position, Attorney Dischley provided legal support and advice on a variety of international crime issues, drug smuggling, and human trafficking.

After a year and a half, Attorney Dischley returned to prosecuting; joining the Office of the Commonwealth Attorney for Fauquier County. In 2009, Attorney Dischley joined the Bose Law Firm and, as a defense attorney, continued to have successes in the Courtroom defending people. In 2013, Attorney Dischley opened David J. Dischley, PLC where he continues to aggressively and zealously defend his clients.

David at the Dischley Law firm did a fantastic job for us resulting in a favorable outcome. Their customer service and response was the best I have ever witnessed, including weekend or evening correspondences if required. They were extremely knowledgeable of the case law and I would absolutely recommend this firm to others!

We hired Dave to represent our teenage son for a traffic violation. He was knowledgeable and consultative from the very start, and extremely low pressure. He even offered complimentary advice in case we wanted to save the lawyer fees and represent ourselves. We decided to hire him for peace of mind and are glad that we did. He provided my son with a series of pre-trial actions that he could take to improve the outcome. In court, he was very familiar with the judge, prosecutor and state trooper who wrote the ticket. He argued very effectively on my son's behalf and the judge agreed to drop the charge. If you are looking for an expert lawyer and all around nice guy to work with, look no further than Dave Dischley.

Mr. Dischley saved me from jail. I was pulled off for going at almost 100 mph on George Washington Parkway, speed limit of 50, and federal jurisdiction. Everything indicated I was going to spend some time in jail. I found the situation completely unfair and stressful since it was my first charge ever and I never drive that fast, I was actually on a rental and on a family trip. I didn't know anyone. I hired Mr. Dischley because he sounded knowledgeable and kind, and he is a Marine. The government had tightened its policy recently, so we couldn't make an agreement for the hearing so we went to trial. David made me take two courses and do 110 hours of community service. That impressed the prosecutor and the judge, who admitted to being determined to put me behind bars but only gave me license suspension and a fine. David was incredibly kind, honest, and professional. He worked hard and bottom-through to understand my case and profile and made an amazing defense. And all for a flat fee.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
