I have reached out to this law firm multiple times and each time they got me the best possible outcome I could have hoped for. They made each process simple and Patrick Blanch did a fantastic job of giving me all my possible options and each step to follow the right path. He is punctual, and very efficient in the sense that once I did whatever I had to in order for him to proceed, he used it to complete his part in a minimal amount of time and get immediate results. His responsiveness is exceptional and he is always there every step of the way. As a person he is extremely easy to talk to and there is no worry of being judged by him or anyone in his firm. He is someone you can rely on and I would recommend him to anyone. Brandon V. (Google)
I was facing legal issues related to a DUI and very concerned that any conviction would have very serious repercussions related to my employment due to security clearance issues. I had worked with Mrs. Hart in the past when my son received a speeding ticket that she was able to get dismissed. Mrs. Hart is professional, courteous, and, most importantly, extremely well prepared. I cannot thank Mrs. Hart and the rest of the team at ZBO&H for their excellent service. If you want an attorney that knows the law inside and out and will fight for your best interests, they are the place to go! – James. D. (Google)
I have hired Mr. Blanch on 2 separate occasions, and I cannot express my gratitude enough for everything he has done for me. If you are looking for an excellent attorney who will actually care about you and fight for your case, then look no further. He is a straight shooter and won’t give you false hope or promises, but both times, he managed to get me an outcome which was beyond what I thought was possible. Mr. Overand assisted on my second case, and played a big role in obtaining the outcome they did. I am very grateful to both of them, and you’ll be glad to have them on your side. – M. (Google)
From the moment I met [Patrick Blanch] I knew he was going to do anything he had to do to to get me a fair sentence. Very detailed and on top of everything. Any questions I had were answered with great detail, and understanding.He made it so I knew what he was planning every step of the way. He kept me in the loop. I walked into that court room extremely confident.Which was a great feeling due to the fact my future was in his hands. I’m a young adult that made one dumb mistake,and my entire future couldve easily taken a turn for the worse. I can never thank Patrick enough for saving me. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs saving. He is extremely knowledgeable,confident, and understanding.I couldn’t ask for more from an attorney. – Jennifer (AVVO)
Patrick Blanch, an attorney you can trust. He was hired for & by my son and I was not sure if it was possibly going to work. However I was so relieved after I met him and felt his style to handle the case strongly with his approach. We needed an attorney another time and trusted him to do the job there was no question about having him as our attorney a second time. Both times we felt he did the best handling under the situation. – Afshan (AVVO)
Ms. Jehlen [Hart] is truly not your typical lawyer. Carly brings a little bit more to work with her, in that she goes that little bit further, works a little bit harder, and is not looking for the angle to the “WIIFM” (Whats In It For Me). I went to court to day facing four points on my license, a fine, a ruined career opportunity, and no lawyer. Then demonstrating my lacking preparedness, I happen to be pointed in the direction of a little room where the prosecutor meets with those interested in pretrial discussion.
Ms Jehlen [Hart], I mistook for the prosecutor, attentively listens to my plight and agrees to speak to the lead prosecutor. I thought nothing more of the conversation, but thought of a reduction in the possible penalty and a less painful outcome. Not only did get my citation reduced, she had the whole thing reduced to a non-moving violation, and represented me on the spot. No points, no messy redressing of the incident, and my career opportunity remains bright. When I inquired as to why she went out of her way to help me, she replied, “Its my job and I like helping out when I can.” I have her card and now she will represent me in any of these situations, because in this world that kind of character cannot be taught or learned. – Lawyers.com
[Ms. Hart] is freggin AWESOME!! It was refreshing to have someone representing you who had a personal interest in you and your case. Ms. Jehlen [Hart] was a constant professional who has my utmost respect. If I ever need any legal advice or representation she will be the first person I contact – Lawyers.com
Carly was my attorney for a reckless driving ticket I received. She was very knowledgable and personable, she almost reminded me of my oldest sister in how helpful and responsive she was. I am so happy that she was my attorney and I was able to work with her. Also, the price to hire Carly as my attorney was very affordable, I h ad called and spoke with numerous lawyers and found the best price to be working with her. I would highly recommend working with Ms Jehlen. – Lawyers.com
I was very hesitant to hire a lawyer. Having a clean record made me feel that I had no need to incur on additional expenses. I couldn’t live with the potential consequences and the associated risks; thus, we decided to bite the bullet. Carly was very professional, responsive and trustworthy. She is an expert in the field and made me feel more at ease. She managed to reduce my reckless driving charge to a traffic infraction. I would highly recommend her. The expense was worth it. – Lawyerratingz.com
Ms. Jehlen is truly not your typical lawyer. Carly Anne Jehlen brings a little bit more to work with her, in that she goes that little bit further, works a little bit harder, and is not looking for the angle to the “WIIFM” (Whats In It For Me). I went to court to day facing four points on my license, a fine, a ruined career opportunity, and no lawyer. Then demonstrating my lacking prepairedness, I happen to be pointed in the direction of a little room where the prosecutor meets with those interested in pretrial discussion. I mistook Ms Jehlen for the prosecutor, but she helped anyway. Her results were beyond good. When I inquired as to why she went out of her way to help me, she replied, “Its my job and I like helping out when I can.” I have her card and now she will represent me in any of these situations, because in this world that kind of character cannot be taught or learned. – LawyerRatingz.com
I was recommended Ms. Jehlen [Hart] to represent my case in Arlington County VA. From the first conversation I had with her, I knew I had an attorney that would work my case with professionalism and diligence. She is extremely knowledgeable of the traffic and procedural laws in Virginia and was able to win my case in court. It’s never an easy thing dealing with court cases against you; and its even harder to find an attorney who you can trust completely to handle your case with the utmost importance, but Ms. Jehlen [Hart] is the best at what she does. I highly recommend her. – LawyerRatingz.com
We hired Ms. Jehlen [Hart] to file a motion to seal/expunge our son’s criminal record. Of all the lawyers I consulted, Ms. Jehlen [Hart] was the only one who appeared to know exactly what to do. She did. She was responsive, capable and pleasant. She was reasonably priced. She was also patient when my son had difficulty submitting some of the required information. I highly recommend her. – anonymous (AVVO)
Last year my daughter got in some trouble and we hired an attorney. The day of the court hearing we were in an office outside the courtroom with a different attorney, when we happened to meet Ms. Jehlen [Hart]. We were so impressed with that chance encounter, that when my daughter again got into some trouble, I found her using only her first name. I called Ms. Jehlen [Hart] on Monday, and she was in the courtroom defending my daughter on the very next day Tuesday. She did a great job in our preliminary hearing, and we have a followup in April. We feel great knowing that Ms. Jehlen [Hart] has my daughter’s best interests in her hands. In the words of my wife “Wow! She is an excellent defense attorney”. We would definitely recommend her! – anonymous, AVVO

She helped me on my reckless driving case that could of resulted in jail time. I was scared the whole time in court that I would see the worst of punishments. Luckily, Carly Jehlen [Hart] was there to help every step of the way. She is awesome and deserves all 5 🙂 – Henry, AVVO

Amazing experience, made me feel valued from all the phone calls. Receptionist are very friendly and Todd Zinicola made my experience amazing. I will recommend and use if I need them. Everything was so easy! I appreciate that the most. With the type of work I do, it’s difficult to even find the time to talk, this firm helped me and made it easy which I appreciate the most. Thank you to you and your team! – Nelson L. (Google)
Todd Zinicola is a great lawyer! If you are fighting a criminal case I highly recommend. Without getting into specifics; multiple felonies, multiple misdemeanors, he made it happen. No jail time. He is someone who gets it and you can breathe while he fights for you on your case harder then I have ever seen any other lawyer. He is patient and spends the time necessary to make you as the client feel like you are getting way more than your money’s worth. I can’t recommend him enough! Trust me when I say he is more than worth it. – Sun C. (Google)
Todd was my third call of the day as I was looking for representation on a reckless driving charge. He was polite, patient, and understanding of my situation. Nothing like the other two lawyers I had recently gotten off the phone with. He explained the process, asked relevant questions only, gave me my options, and was exceptionally professional throughout the process. He didn’t threaten me, scare me, or harass me into being his customer. I appreaciated that. He kept me updated and answered all 14 of my emails with patience. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned that his laid back demeanor would be a sign of his “not willing to fight” for me. If all lawyers were like him, the world would be a much better place. He honestly has changed my view of the profession and am very pleased with the results of hiring him. Don’t think twice about calling or hiring Todd Zinicola. – Subi (AVVO)
I have the utmost respect for Todd M. Zinicola. He is a Fairfax County Attorney that took my adult son’s case in the fall of 2012. With permission from my son, he was able to provide support through emails to me instructing me how to best help my son in regards to his court case this past spring. I felt comfortable emailing him and trusting him. He followed up regularly with updates concerning the case. On the occasions I would speak to him directly on the phone, his voice was calming and provided me with answers to my many questions. I have never experienced such stress in my life with the situation my son found himself involved in. Todd was reliable and treated me with genuine concern and care. I had previously consulted with 2 other lawyers but weren’t impressed until I heard from Mr. Zinicola. I knew he was the right man to represent my son. When I actually did meet Todd M. Zinicola on the actual court date for my son, I felt an instant relief. I knew that I had the right lawyer to help my family out. I felt peace within my heart and he was professional in his mannerism and I was so impressed when I did go into the courtroom how he spoke on my son’s behalf to the judge. He again, was calm and really had my son’s best interests at heart. I would not have wanted any other lawyer but Todd. He presented the facts efficiently and without at pretense. You could actually feel the care and compassion in his voice. He captured everyone’s attention in that room. Thank goodness, the case went in favor of my son:) I hope to never relive the stress again from my son’s unintentional situation but, if I EVER needed fair, compassionate, just representation, there would be no hesitation as to who I would hire in the future. I absolutely have no doubts that Todd Zinicola could handle anything that life would throw my way in the future. He has gained my son’s trust in mankind and my family’s. I can’t express enough to anyone how impressed he and his office staff handled the case. I have never had to deal with the criminal system and hope to never have to encounter it again. But, I myself am a professional in the medical field for over 33 years and I can always spot a true and honest individual. That person is Mr. Todd Zinicola. I TOTALLY recommend his services to anyone who is seeking legal counsel. Thank you – Betty (AVVO)
Mr. Zinicola was very responsive from the intial phone call throughout the entire legal process. Answered all of my questions and helped put me at ease. He explained possible outcomes/alternatives frankly so there were no surprises. Unfortunately, I needed his services for my son’s second offense and he was able to help with that as well and got us a positive outcome on all aspects. – anonymous (AVVO)

Todd Zinicola was recommended to me by a friend. I called his office and left a message, and was rather surprised with how quickly I received a return phone call. I was upset because I had just been charged with my first DWI. Mr. Zinicola explained the process of going to court, some possible outcomes and made me feel much better about the situation. I was impressed with his knowledge of the court system and that he really seemed to care about the outcome of my case. We worked out a payment plan and I hired him. When we went to court, he spoke with the prosecutor, and got my charge reduced to a reckless with a six month restricted license. I was so relieved! I now give Mr. Zinicola’s phone number to anyone needing a lawyer. – Rachel (AVVO)
