Mr. SRIS and his team were fantastic during my custody dispute. For the first time, I felt like my lawyer had my back! Mr. Sris did not allow my ex's lawyer to bully me into agreeing to anything that I did not want. Mr. Sris listened to my concerns, and he was both real (honest) and comforting at the same time. Totally worth every penny!

Sris is the best lawyer, I had a case that would have messed up my immigration status. Sris staff and him were very helpful and on top of everything. He got my case dismissed. He knows the judges pretty well. I am very lucky to have hired him. Thank you Sris! Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism. More

Sris and his team were great. I hired him for a DUI in Prince William County that he beat at trial. It was amazing. He won it even though I had a refusal charge. He really knew what would work before the judge and he was magic in the court. I talked to him a couple of times before court and he was always available. I couldn't have hired a better lawyer. Hire him!

If you are driving thru Rappahannock, be super careful. They hand out reckless driving tickets like it is candy. I drove out there to visit a friend and I got charged with a reckless driving ticket. It was for a 84/55. I called a bunch of lawyers and read the reviews and I picked Sris to help me out. He did a great job. He got it knocked down to a no point offense and I had to only pay a fine. If you need a reckless driving lawyer call Sris. He and his team were awesome!

I got a reckless driving ticket in VA and I had no idea how serious it was. I called Sris and wanted to know if he could help. He told me that just because I got a reckless driving ticket for going over 20 miles per hour over the speed limit doesn't mean that I would be convicted of reckless driving. To make things worse, I was an out of state driver and I didn't want to have to come back. He laid out my options and let me decide what would be best for me. Best part of this is he got the charge dismissed. Sris you are the best.

Mr. Sris and his staff were so friend, helpful, and understanding! I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Mr. Sris did exactly as he said he would do and did so quite affordably! I had no traffic violations ever and found myself facing a hefty fine and increased insurance premiums after my first speeding ticket; which I received in a speed trap, after working 3 night shifts. Mr. Sris has a good relationship with most of the courts in Northern Virginia and is familiar with the appropriate actions needed to help his clients.

After following his instructions, Mr. Sris notified me that my ticket had been expunged. Truly, you can't ask for a better experience. I am so glad I did my research and chose this law firm to help me!

If you were charged with a reckless in Fairfax, don't even think about it. Hire Sris. He was amazing in getting my traffic ticket fixed. He told me everything I had to do to get him ready for court. When I was working with him, I knew I had made the best choice. He staying in touch and he got my reckless driving ticket reduced to a county code and I got no points. Thank you so much Mr. Sris

Sris was amazing in helping me get my second reckless driving ticket reduced to regular speeding, allowing my insurance rate not to get raise extremely high. Before I went before the Judge Sris called me into the hall after smooth talking the prosecutor and told me it would only be fined for a regular speeding ticket rather than a second charge for reckless driving and possible license suspension.

His office was fantastic at getting me all the information I would need to have a solid case. After leaving the court room Sris stayed and talked with me in line until I paid for my ticket giving me advice and asking what I planned on doing in the future. He went above and beyond for my case and I will be referring him Sris to everyone I know.

Mr. Sris and everyone who works at his office are great. They are very punctual and communicate very effectively. The let you know specifically everything they need from you. Mr. Sris is easy to talk to. He is a very down to earth guy and I felt very confident and safe that he would zealously advocate for me in court. I could not of asked for a better outcome for my reckless speeding ticket.

I am a traffic attorney from Illinois who called Mr. Sris about a Virginia ticket. In speaking with Mr. Sris, it became immediately clear that he was very knowledgeable about the law and lives up to the fine reputation he has online. He was very generous with his time and willing to answer all of my questions. In my practice, I highly value these traits and when I see them in another law practice, it shows. I would highly recommend Mr. Sris and his practice for the outstanding client service they offer.

Sris helped me with my custody case, even when it looked as if I had nothing to stand on. Sris took every scenario and incident I gave him and looked at it 15 different ways with just as many outcomes and how to handle them. You get what you pay for with this seasoned litigator and he is worth it as he will work hard to get you your desired outcome or as close as he can (after all, the judge has the final say).

He has litigated or seen probably almost scenario/case possible and with that experience, he has great advice to give and he always left it to me to decide how to proceed. Sris gave me his full attention, I wasn't rushed or ignored; as a matter of fact, he has got to be one of THE best active listeners I've ever encountered IN-MY-LIFE! He didn't miss anything I said, he often pondered things I told him and he is constantly engaged in what is going on, be it a conversation with he and myself or what is being said in the courtroom.

He is the most confident, poised, intelligent and well-spoken litigator I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Someone has always answered the phone for me and if he wasn't available, his staff took a message and I would promptly hear back from him directly or through his staff. Sris is a winner BUT I believe if I came to him with a case in which I had a slim to no chance of winning, he would advise me up front and wouldn't take advantage of my ignorance for profit.

He does have a "to the point" demeanor as he will not waste your time but he is a very genuine person and if he takes your case, he cares. If you are serious about your case, it would be wise to at least get a consultation so you can see for yourself what he is about; you will be impressed. He is my go to lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a superior counselor to litigate on their behalf.

Excellent job! Mr. Sris and his team were amazing! They were very professional and did a wonderful job of preparing everything for my wife and I. Mr. Sris's ability to navigate the system and his knowledge of law prevented the government from splitting up our family. Most people are stuck in immigration court for years, we received a ruling from the judge very quickly in our favor. I am extremely grateful for everything they did.

I am so happy we chose them to help us fight for our family. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a no non-sense, diligent, strong and well versed legal team. Note: This is not our first case using this team. This is in fact our 3rd time using the SRIS Law Group and all three had stellar outcomes!

I got a reckless on the way to hike Old Rag Mountain in Rappahannock County, 78/55. I was looking for a lawyer in Rappahannock or a surrounding county but could not find one. I found Sris online and was skeptical because the law firm is based out of Fairfax but Sris regularly handles cases in Rappahannock and is familiar with the judge/prosecutor/police dept. I followed Sris advice in preparation for court and he was able to get the Reckless driving dropped to defective equipment which is a no point offense and 250 dollar fine. I'm pretty thankful because having a reckless on my driving record would've created a world of problems for my career, driving record, insurance, etc. I'd recommend hiring Sris to my friends

I was looking for a lawyer for my brother's custody case and other issues that involves the CPS. I know that this cases usually get pretty ugly. I needed to find the best lawyer for him. After calling and reading several law firms reviews I called the SRIS law group, I was very impress the way they handled from the very first call, so I decided to go with them. We have been working with the SRIS Law Group for a few weeks now and they have been nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and just awesome.

They have been extremely helpful about the whole process, they follow up with me on a regular basis and replies to my emails and phone calls within minutes, which we greatly appreciate! I highly recommend this law firm. They are always on top of everything. We are still working with them, but so far we are very happy we chose them to defend my brother. I will write another review when all finish and let you know more.

We found ourselves in an very unfortunate situation while driving on highway on the first day of New Year, while we were stopped by police because of speeding. We were finishing our nearly two weeks long happy holiday in US and we felt our happy visit in the States turned bitter in an instant. We were very troubled by this summon and worried how it might affect our immigration in Canada. So we went to seek legal help and found SRIS.

We are very happy with the service of SRIS Law Group, they really saved our "Day", and Year! Perhaps ours is a small case for them, but they handled it with so much empathy and encouragement, they were always on top of the matter, and guiding us patiently step by step on what to do in order to turn things around in our favor. We are very impressed by their professionalism and proficiency in the handling of our case, we would certainly recommend SRIS Law Group to anyone without any hesitation.

Our special thanks to the two attorneys who handled our case, Luke and Damien, thank you both again for everything you did. We felt very lucky to have chosen SRIS, and we wish the same luck to you! From Canada, Montreal

I chose to go with Sris Law Group to represent me for my child visitation case. There were a lot of complications with the case and several hurdles that we had to deal with, but the attorneys experience and ability to handle my case was phenomenal. The firm employs a staff that is courteous and helpful. In addition, the communication was prompt. I really liked that they were up front about what to expect and did not provide false expectations. The trial went well and I am happy that they were able to represent me. I definitely will go with them again if I have another issue arise.

I chose SRIS Law Group after reading reviews on this site. I am so glad because they are an excellent group. Mr Sris met with me within hours of my initial call. He was very professional and understanding. I feel the same about other members of his staff that I met that evening. My issue was resolved the following day. I could not have expected such a quick resolution for my issue. I will definitely use SRIS Law Group if I am in need of any legal representation in the future. Mr Sris showed genuine care and concern.

My experience with SRIS Law Group was a hurdle of different experiences. From the moment I heard about SRIS from my father, he made it very clear that he plays no games, and is very ready to get to work on the case you present to him. He helped me with two different legal issues I was in at the same time, with the exception of me digging myself into a deeper hole, he managed to bare with me, and did nothing but completely work with me the whole way through my cases.

One thing that I was very pleased with was the communication level they have with their clients. Anytime I ever faxed/ or sent in any kind of documentation, they made sure to call me back to let me know if it was received as well as any other additional documents they needed from me. The best decision I could have made was to hire you SRIS Law Group P.C. and thank you very much for providing legal assistance with my criminal cases.

One of the best law firms in northern VA! This group of attorneys is very professional and honest. The SRIS Law Group represented me in a case in which other attorneys gave me no hope and I must say after the case was over I couldn't thank them enough for their hard work to get me a great deal. I refer family members and friends with great confidence that they will be treated well and will get the best result possible.

I have finally found a group of attorneys that are trustworthy and will represent me when in need. If you need an attorney don't waste your time and contact the SRIS Law Group. (((HIGHLY RECOMMEND)))

My experience with SRIS is not but the best. I have been in the legal industry for 21 years and until now I have found myself in a brutal divorce. I consulted with the big name law firms and paid for the initial consultation. But I quickly realized that those big name firms were all about their profit and not really in the interest of their client. So I brought my case to SRIS and was assigned Mr. B Block.

After consulting with 3 other law firms I was prepared for the same old dance and consultation. That was not the case. Mr. Block addressed the issue with passion, revived my motivation and gave me hope that I would end up in a better position on my divorce. Well I'm here to attest to that, not only did he manage to settle my case in my terms, but also educated me on not backing down. The big named law firms in the Virginia Beach area who "take care of women" was a joke.

My wife was represented by them and only gave her grief to spend thousands of dollars to make unrealistic demands to myself and my attorney. I am so glad that I hired the SRIS group and very glad that Mr. B Block was assigned as my attorney. I give them the highest rating possible and again don't be fooled by others, this law firm means business. They worked for MY advantage and not theirs financially.
