"Michael Hollingsworth is a stellar attorney! He is the attorney’s attorney! He knows the law and most importantly how to apply and implement his institutional knowledge, relationships and experience to ensure justice is 100% served in your favor and on your behalf. I would highly recommend him! In fact, I would select MORE than five stars!!! I initially met Michael almost a decade ago through one of the area’s top attorneys and top law firms. He comes highly recommended, referred and vetted. He is an advocate. Always. He is responsive to calls, texts and emails. Always. He is direct, trustworthy and informed. Always. He is the go-to attorney for legal matters and legal questions and I have referred family and friends to him. Top-notch representation, communication, quality and integrity. He has solidified victorious outcomes and life-changing wins. I would never walk into a courtroom without legal representation. I would always seek and retain the best attorney. In my personal opinion, Michael is the best."

"I can't begin to say enough about Mr. Hollingsworth and the great job he did in representing my daughter over a youthful indiscretion that could have haunted her the rest of her life if it weren't for him. First off, Mr. Hollingsworth did an excellent job of letting us know what we were up against and was very honest in regards to the uphill battle we were facing. He clearly explained the documentation we needed to obtain in order to help explain to the court the mitigating circumstances and what steps my daughter needed to take in order to show the court that she was trying to atone for her mistake. Don't let Mr. Hollingsworth's calm, relaxed and personable demeanor fool you: he will fight very hard and relentlessly for his clients. During the 90 minutes we were in court prior to the trial, unlike other attorneys who were looking at their cell phones, Mr. Hollingsworth was in negotiations with the prosecutor, talking with the sheriff and conferring with other attorneys in order to find the best strategy to deal with the prosecutor that didn't like pleas and our fair but tough judge. In the end, we got the best possible outcome because: 1) Mr. Hollingsworth was well prepared; 2) Was able to pivot during the day of trial in order to present our case in the best possible light given the prosecutor and judge we wound up with; 3) We were prepared due to his guidance. After the trial, Mr. Hollingsworth took the time to meet with my daughter to help her sort through what happened at the trial and to inform her of possible outcomes should she have any more"youthful indiscretions." Knock on wood, I hopefully will never need Mr. Hollingsworth's services again but for anyone who is facing a criminal situation who needs a calm reassuring lawyer who will be upfront and honest about the chances for success and will fight tirelessly to get the best outcome, then I would recommend Michael Hollingsworth!"

"Mr. Hollingsworth is a awesome Attorney, I chose him to represent me due to his reputation in Northern Virginia and he definitely lived up to that. I was charged with a DWI and Refusal , I had no idea what to do or how to move forward with this situation. Mr. Hollingsworth from day 1 explained all the outcomes that could potentially happen. He has in depth knowledge of Virginia Code and case laws. He was able to get both of my charges Nolle Prossed( Dismissed). If you are looking for a good attorney to fight for you, Then you should definitely call Mr. Hollingsworth."

"As an individual in his lower 20's, I was going through a situation that no one would ever imagine they'd be going through. I was referred to NZ, specifically Mike Hollingsworth, by a friend who had been helped by Mike for an entirely different matter and swore by this man that he could help me out with any situation I was in. Being so young and in a situation that I never thought I'd be in, Mike confidently reassured me that everything would be alright and that he'd do everything in his power to get me out of the situation. And that is just what he did, he fulfilled his promise and delivered what I never thought would have been possible. If I were to ever need anyone's expertise again, Mike is definitely my guy!"
