The Leiva Law Firm

They are the best to help you even in the most difficult cases, I recommend them 100%!!!

My husband was charged with 6 felonies, several carrying potential life sentences. Throughout the litigation, Mr. Leiva was one step ahead of the prosecutors. He collected evidence, interviewed witnesses and filed a slew of motions. One week before trial, my husband had a hearing on several important motions filed by Mr. Leiva that were pivotal to my husband's case. The day of the hearing, the prosecutor dropped all of the charges against my husband. We are grateful to Mr. Leiva and highly recommend him. My husband's nightmare was finally over and we have our life back.

I cannot thank Manuel Leiva enough for their outstanding service! From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared about my case. Their trial expertise is second to none—they know exactly how to navigate the courtroom with confidence and strategy. When all doors seem closed, Manuel is the one who finds a way to win. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and guided me through the entire process with compassion and dedication. If you are looking for a lawyer who will fight for you and deliver results, I highly recommend Manuel E.Leiva. No one is better than them when it comes to trial skills. 100%

When I was in a pinch he was right there. Walked me through the process and I found him to be very intelligent. Anyone who is looking he is the right person. James "Jim" Wilson President Power Quality, Inc.

I’ve used Manuel Leiva a few times throughout the years and I would not use another attorney. He always fights for you for the best possible outcome. Even if the case goes to trial he is very intelligible and on spot with every little detail. He is the best.

We hired Mr. Leiva to represent my relative who was charged with 1st Degree Murder along with 3 other co-defendants. My relative shot the fatal shots. All the defendants faced 20 years to life. Our family initially hired another law firm and we paid them several hundred thousand dollars. We were not confident of their trial strategy so we made the difficult decision of changing lawyers after having spent so much money. We hired Mr. Leiva. Immediately, Mr. Leiva and his team came up with a completely different trial strategy, found mistakes made by the prior law firm and conducted a through investigation. Additionally, Mr. Leiva and his team filed numerous pre-trial motions which played a significant role in limiting the prosecutions evidence at trial. Mr. Leiva and his team successfully used experts to educate the jury on the trajectory of the bullets fired, and the deceased’s position when he was shot. Trial lasted 4 weeks. Mr. Leiva and his team served as lead counsel. The jury acquitted 3 co-defendants, and my brother-in-law was convicted of manslaughter and received a 7 year sentence. Everyone believed that my relative would be convicted of 1st degree murder, including the prior law firm. Fortunately, Mr. Leiva and his team were able to get the truth out.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Manuel Leiva highly enough! From the very first consultation, it was clear that they genuinely cared about my case and my future. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication gave me complete confidence during one of the most stressful times in my life. Manuel and Alexa went above and beyond to ensure that I understood every step of the process and fought tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. Thanks to their hard work, my case was resolved with a favorable result. If you’re looking for a defense attorney who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly fights for their clients, look no further!

I am deeply grateful to Mr. Manuel Leiva for his outstanding support and dedication during a case involving my friend, who faced false allegations of rape. Despite the other party’s loud and misleading claims, Mr. Leiva remained composed, focused, and detail-oriented. His professionalism and attention to even the smallest facts ensured that the truth prevailed, ultimately leading to my friend’s exoneration. Mr. Leiva’s integrity and commitment to justice are truly commendable, and I highly recommend him as a skilled and dependable advocate.

If there were more than 5 stars, I would have given all of them to this amazing Law firm, especially to Mr. Leiva, he is an amazing attorney, and I won't hesitate to write "The Best attorney in VA." I would 100% recommend The Leiva Law Firm.

Manuel Leiva the lawyer with knowledge, character and professionalism. I admire your dedication and hard and persisting ethics. Salute 🙏

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding work Manuel Leiva did in defending me in a protective order case that was unjustly filed by my wife. From the very first consultation, Manuel demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep expertise, and genuine care for my situation. He took the time to thoroughly understand the details of my case, leaving no stone unturned in building a robust defense. Throughout the process, Manuel was a true advocate for my rights. He communicated with clarity and confidence, ensuring I was fully informed and prepared at every stage. His ability to navigate the complexities of the law was evident in the courtroom, where his sharp legal skills and compelling arguments led to a complete dismissal of the case. Thanks to Manuel’s dedication and tireless efforts, I am now able to move forward with my life. He brought not only legal expertise but also compassion and understanding during a very challenging time. I wholeheartedly recommend Manuel Leiva to anyone in need of a highly skilled and trustworthy attorney. He is, without a doubt, the best advocate you could have in your corner.

Mr. Leiva not only provided a better than expected outcome, but was also calm and collected throughout the trial and evidence discovery process. He took the time to thoroughly explain the situation, the possible outcomes, and what needed to be done on both his and our end. He’s super professional and really seems to care about helping his clients.

I watched Mr. Leiva go way above and beyond for a very close family member the first time I ever met him. Throughout the entire process he stayed in touch with my family to let us know what was going on at all times this was in 2002 in a federal court room. In 2012 Mr. Leiva was called by my family again for what was a very very weak case but very very serious charges and accusations he treated as if it were like any other case that he puts hrs and hrs of work witch is very highly appreciated. You most definitely want his brilliant and savvy mind on your side 100%. I had issue with Mr. Leiva and of course with a mind as brilliant as his it doesn’t come cheap, nor should it but after spending as much as my family did throughout the years one would like to think I can give this family a break. Like I stated my family has been relying on Mr Leiva since 2002 for a wide range of cases, knowing my family’s personal situation I just would have thought that just maybe he would be a bit more understanding when it came to the amount of money that was spent especially in my case . With that said I’d recommend him to loved ones without hesitation, he’s simply on a different level! 10/10 without a doubt!

Mr Manuel Leiva, simple put is par excellence.He sorted out a matter for me just yesterday in fairfax county court.I wanted to express heartfelt gratitude from my side and my family.Just wanted to share with everyone, what the Judge said about Mr Manuel Leiva, in a court room full of people,after pronouncing my verdict in my favour ,and I quote, "you are very lucky to have a wonderful lawyer as Mr Leiva fighting your case,he is truly on of the best ". Need i say more ? I rest my case : )

Manuel Levia is one of the most hard-working, compassionate, and intelligent lawyers. You will be lucky to have him because he is so busy!

I obtained Manuel's name from my family law attorney who highly recommended him. I found Manuel to be extremely competent, knowledgeable, and understanding of my situation. He did outstanding work on my behalf for close to a 2-year period. He explained things in great detail and was compassionate in regard to my special circumstances. I would strongly recommend Manuel to anyone needing representation in a criminal matter.

The best lawyer you could ever ask for. Knows the law inside and out and what is best as things evolve in high conflict cases.

I read somewhere 'consider yourself lucky if you have Mr.Leiva as your attorney'. I think that is an understatement. He isnot your average lawyer, he's a strong attorney. Pleasure working with him. He makes a strong team with Muhammad (elsayeed) law. The way he communicates in the court tells you he's not someone to be taken lightly.
