About:
Jay P. Mykytiuk is a thoughtful, seasoned trial lawyer whose experience ranges from monitoring police department practices with the United States Department of Justice to representing indigent defendants with the Arlington County Public Defender’s Office. Born and raised in New England, Mr. Mykytiuk attended college in Connecticut before making Washington, D.C. his home in 1996. During law school, Mr. Mykytiuk clerked with both The Cochran Firm and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. His exposure to both sides of the criminal justice system gave him a unique perspective that has served him well throughout his career. Mr. Mykytiuk has represented hundreds of defendants charged with criminal and traffic offenses in state and federal courts in Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. He received rigorous training in criminal trial defense at the Arlington County Public Defender’s Office, where he learned the ropes on traffic and misdemeanor cases, such as DUI, simple assault, theft, and prostitution. After graduating to serious felony matters, his case load included robberies, burglaries, drug conspiracies, fraud, and serious assaults. He wrote several criminal appeals and successfully overturned a multi-count embezzlement conviction. One former supervisor called Mr. Mykytiuk the best young attorney she saw come through the office. Leaving the Public Defender’s Office for private practice, Mr. Mykytiuk joined the law firm of Regan Associates, Chartered. There, he continued to practice criminal defense, while expanding his expertise to immigration matters. He has helped clients successfully obtain green cards, become U.S. Citizens, bring loved ones to the United States, and fight removal actions. With this wealth of experience under his belt, Mr. Mykytiuk launched a solo practice, JPMLegal, in 2014. He continues to represent clients in Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia in traffic, criminal, and immigration matters.

"By far the best attorney in the area. Has a great reputation, knowledgeable and very responsive. Ensured that I received the greatest possible outcome from my situation of firearm possession and his confidence gave me peace of mind during the process. If anyone that I know needs an attorney I wouldn’t hesitate to send them to Jay. My family greatly appreciates him."

"I had the pleasure of working with Jay when I was facing a traffic charge, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. From the start, Jay was incredibly communicative, always making sure I understood every step of the process. He took the time to explain the legal intricacies and what to expect at each stage, which really helped ease my anxiety during a very stressful time. Thanks to Jay's expertise and guidance, I felt confident throughout the process, and the outcome was far better than I expected."

"I had been involved for the better part of a year in a very sensitive dilemma involving the educational field and a minor child making a false allegation against me. Attorney Jay Mykytiuk was retained through the conduct of a preliminary hearing of my case. In that preliminary hearing phase, he secured on my behalf, the best outcome that could have been received which is, a ruling of 'no probable cause'. To accomplish that he clearly had done his due diligence and knew exactly how to argue evidence regarding the statutes pertaining to the charge in question. He did this brilliantly resulting in the favorable ruling for his client. That results in my high praise and recommendation of he along with great appreciation of he for his representation. There is need to add this; in so doing he received correct JUSTICE for his client who was wrongly accused of a very serious charge (Educators beware!)."
