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.

Case dismissed, out of my expectation! Mr. David J Dischley is the best attorney I have ever used. I am a bus driver and was issued a reckless driving ticket, I wished it could be reduced to regular speeding or unsafe driving.

One may hope they never need a lawyer, but if you do, David Dischley is there for you. Okay that rhymed and I sound like an infomercial but my experience with his entire company was above par. His staff was always there, keeping me informed, ensuring I had done everything I needed to do, communicating whenever needed. David himself was available any time needed. The availability and communication was exceptional. They also know this area and everyone in it, helping them best navigate the legal process. I would 100% use Dischley's firm again (though I hope I never need to). I'm very grateful for him and his team.

David Dischley did a fantastic job representing me, and I would highly recommend him and seek his counsel in the future. David was very responsive and got back to me immediately, and gave me the confidence to pursue the case instead of paying the fine.

An Exceptional Lawyer Who Truly Fights for You I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal representation I received. From our first consultation, David was confident, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my case. Their attention to detail, strategic thinking, and relentless advocacy were the key reasons we won. Throughout the process he kept me informed, answered every question with patience, and made me feel supported every step of the way. In the courtroom, David was sharp, persuasive, and absolutely commanding. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, my case had a successful outcome that exceeded my expectations. If you need someone who will truly go to bat for you, look no further. I highly recommend David without hesitation.

I hired David for a criminal charge in VA and was super scared/nervous as it was my first time ever being in a situation like this. He not only boosted confidence but also proved it with positive results. My case was dismissed and I will be able to get it removed from my record. I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me and it was worth every penny I paid for this case. Thank you and HIGHLY recommend Mr. Dischley for your legal needs.
