The Irving Law Firm: Deep Roots In Arlington & Northern Virginia

When people in Arlington walk into our office on Wilson Boulevard, they are usually carrying more than a file folder. They are worried about their future, their family, their freedom, or their health. We take that seriously. For more than 12 years, we have served Manassas, Arlington, Prince William County, Fairfax, and the surrounding communities of Northern Virginia.

Across our team, we bring more than 98 combined years of experience in injury, criminal, and family law matters. That depth of experience helps us understand not only the law, but also how legal decisions affect real lives in Arlington, from courtrooms in the city to homes in nearby neighborhoods.

Experience Across The Legal Issues Arlington Families & Businesses Face

Every day, we work with people who are facing very different problems, often at the same time. Our Arlington team helps clients with family law, divorce, business formation, criminal defense, DUI, personal injury, estate planning, and adoption. Because our practice is broad, we can see how one decision in a divorce might shape a future estate plan, or how a criminal charge might affect a professional license or a family’s finances.

We collaborate across practice areas so our clients do not receive piecemeal advice. The same firm that defends you in a DUI can also help you address license issues, protect your employment, and plan for any long term consequences. The same team that guides you through a high conflict custody matter can later help you draft a will that protects your children and your assets.

Values & Principles That Guide Our Team

Our firm was founded by John Irving with a clear purpose: to build a community focused law practice that brings positive direction to individuals and families in Northern Virginia. We pride ourselves on treating clients like family. For us, that means listening carefully, explaining options in plain language, and offering honest guidance, even when the advice is difficult to hear.

Integrity, compassion, and personalized service shape the work we do from our Arlington office. We also take communication and transparency seriously. From the first case evaluation, we explain the likely steps, possible outcomes, and costs so clients can make informed decisions rather than feeling left in the dark.

Because Arlington is a diverse community, we provide information and contact options in both English and Spanish, including a dedicated Spanish language contact page for the Arlington office. That allows us to serve families and business owners who are more comfortable discussing important decisions in Spanish.

Why So Many Arlington Clients Rely On Our Firm

People in Arlington have many choices when it comes to legal representation, yet many choose to work with us. Clients describe our team as responsive, reasonable, and attentive to individual needs.

We know that trust is earned over time, not granted automatically. That is why we focus on clear communication, realistic expectations, and consistent follow through. Our commitment to integrity, compassion, and personalized service, and our role as a partner for clients facing complex legal matters, guide every decision we make on a case.

When someone from Arlington comes to us, whether for a family law dispute, a criminal charge, a serious injury, a new business, or an estate plan, we see more than a case number. We see a neighbor asking for guidance at an important moment. Our job is to bring our years of legal experience, our community focused values, and our diligent approach to representation together to help that person move forward with more clarity and confidence.

We Strive For Excellence In Legal Services & Client Satisfaction At The Irving Law Firm

Standing Beside You In Arlington Legal Matters

When a legal issue touches your family, your freedom, or your financial security, you should not feel like you are facing it alone. From our Arlington office, we work with individuals and businesses who need steady guidance through some of life’s most stressful moments. We take the time to understand where you are now and where you want to be when the case is resolved.

Our team handles a wide range of matters for Arlington residents, including Divorce, Family Law, Business Formation, Criminal Defense, DUI, Personal Injury, and Estate Planning. Many clients come to us with more than one concern at the same time. A divorce may involve a family business. A criminal charge may affect a professional license. An injury may raise questions about long term planning. Because we work across these areas, we can help you see the full picture and plan your next steps with clarity.

We keep our focus on practical solutions and clear communication. That means straight answers about risks and options, regular updates as your case moves forward, and legal strategies tailored to your specific goals. Every matter is important to us, whether it involves a single court hearing or a long term plan for your family or company.

When you reach out to our Arlington team, you are not just opening a file. You are starting a working relationship with people who are prepared to listen, explain, and stand with you from the first consultation through the final resolution.

What Our Approach In Arlington Really Stands For

When we take on a case in Arlington, we are not just applying a template and changing the names. We start by learning your goals, your worries, and the pressures you are facing, then we build a strategy around that reality. We look closely at the facts, the law, and the local courts to find options that other people might overlook.

Creative problem solving for us is practical, not flashy. It can mean finding a way to resolve a dispute before it reaches trial, structuring a business in a way that helps prevent future conflict, or timing certain steps in a criminal or family law matter to protect both your record and your long-term plans. We are always asking how to move your case forward with purpose while keeping an eye on cost, time, and stress.

We also value flexibility. Cases change, new information appears, and courts move at their own pace. We adjust our approach when needed, explain why we are making those changes, and make sure you understand the options in front of you. That steady communication helps us work as a team with you rather than asking you to simply wait and hope for updates.

At its core, our work in Arlington is about thoughtful strategy, efficient action, and respect for the people behind every file. We measure our efforts by whether you feel informed, supported, and prepared for whatever comes next.

They Are Top Notch

I arranged for Rachel Goldsher with this firm to handle my brother’s divorce. She and the firm’s staff were very responsive to his needs, and recommended a course of action that was reasonable and cost effective. Their billing was very reasonable, with paralegals and other staff handling much of the routine work and billing accordingly. As a result the overall cost of the divorce was reasonable. Rachel also effectively addressed my brother’s particular needs in the settlement agreement. I highly recommend.

I Highly Recommend Them

In a time of turmoil, the Irving Law Firm was there to answer my questions regarding a divorce. They do not try to gouge you and explain ways to make your divorce less stressful and pocket friendly. I highly recommend them.

I’d Definitely Hire Again If Needed

Rebecca and staff were wonderful handling my case. They seemed mindful of the billed time and I didn’t feel any was excessive. Her attention to detail brought me additional arrearages which a former attorney didn’t notice or enforce on prior filings. I’d definitely hire again if needed.

An Excellent Mentor & A Phenomenal Attorney

John is a powerhouse in this business. An excellent mentor and a phenomenal attorney. His reputation precedes him and for good reason. I would not hesitate to seek him as my own attorney should the occasion arise. I recommend him with enthusiasm.

If You Have A Family Law Matter, You’ll Want Her By Your Side

I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Morehouse knows the legal system both as an advocate and a “guardian ad litem,” an officer of the court who looks out for a child’s, or other incapacitated person’s, best interest. If you have a family law matter, you’ll want her by your side.
