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.

We cannot speak highly enough about our experience with David Dischley. He successfully resolved an extremely complex traffic case that others had deemed nearly impossible. Not only is he exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable, but he is also humble, approachable, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to explain everything clearly and guided us through each step with confidence and care. We’ve worked with other attorneys before, but none compare—he is hands down the best we’ve ever dealt with. His professionalism, dedication, and results are unmatched. HIGHLY recommend to anyone in need of legal expertise. You will not find better representation.

I've never felt more advocated for than by David. I had got myself in a really bad situation. Through David's hard work and negotiating I was able to get into a court program that changed my life. He gave me the guidance and the confidence to do what needed to be done to get me in the best position for the best possible outcome. He executed a plan and prevailed. He was tenacious in fighting for me. He is diligent, honest, knowledgeable, personable, and tenacious. When I look back at the past months I am overcome with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for David and his firm. If you have to set foot in a court room I'd advise you have David Dischley by your side.

When I first received my reckless driving citation for going 100 in a 55, I was overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty. I truly thought my life was over. From the moment I reached out, David walked me through every step of the process, ensuring I fully understood what needed to be done. His responsiveness, professionalism, and depth of knowledge were exceptional. What sets David apart from other attorneys is his ability to connect with you on a personal level, he doesn’t just see you as a case, but as a person. Talking to him felt like talking to a family member. He provided the confidence and reassurance I needed to face my trial. Patrick and the rest of the team also played a crucial role, and together, they fought for the best possible outcome. Thanks to their expertise, my Reckless Driving charge (100/55) was successfully reduced to a Speeding charge (74/55) a life changing result.

Words alone cannot describe how great David Dischley is! Wish I could give more than 5 stars. I had been charged with DUI and open container. Mr.Dischley took his time speaking and going over my case. To say the least, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders from our first conversation. He was the absolute best from start to finish! He kept me updated throughout the whole entire process and without a doubt fought for me the whole way. He presented the best possible outcomes and exceeded expectations! My DUI and open container got dismissed! He’s great at what he does! He will fight for you and will not let you down! So stop scrolling and hire this awesome attorney! You will not regret it.

I wanted to take a moment and leave a review regarding my experience with David Dischley. I could not be more grateful and encouraged by the care and professionalism I received from David and his team. My family and I are from California. While in Virginia to visit our daughters in college we received a speeding ticket which they wanted to bump up to a felony “Reckless Driving” based on the mph over the speed limit. Being from out of state this was very overwhelming. Of the five or six lawyers I reached out to David responded within 24 hours personally to give our case a review and see if he could help. He was kind, he was knowledgeable and he was fair. He didn’t try to quote me the cheapest price, he was straightforward about what he thought he could do for us and what it would take. We chose to move forward with him and his team and it was the best decision we could have made. As a pastor and military family I place a great value on integrity and honesty. From day one David and his

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.
