Best Criminal Defense Attorneys in District of Columbia
Lawyer Legion created this list of the top picks in 2024 for the best criminal defense attorneys in Washington, DC. To rank the top criminal defense attorneys, we used both objective and subjective criteria.
The top criminal defense attorneys were selected based on their career accomplishments, success in high-profile cases, professional involvement, community leadership, and board certifications.
This list represents some of the most highly accomplished criminal defense lawyers currently practicing in Washington DC. When reviewing this list, please be aware of each of the following:
- Lawyers cannot pay to be included in this list.
- Only lawyers who are active on Lawyer Legion were selected.
- No online directory can accurately determine a statewide list of attorneys who are actually “the best” at practicing criminal law (but our list comes close).
