Thomas C. Soldan is Partner at Marquis Law Group (formerly Laurel Brigade Law Group) who represents clients in Leesburg, Virginia, and Loudoun County, Virginia. He represents clients in matters of personal injury, criminal defense and DUI/DWI throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia, with an emphasis on cases in Northern Virginia and Central Virginia. With a passion for helping those who have been injured by another, as well as those who have been arrested or charged with a crime, he has dedicated his career to providing quality legal representation to the people of Virginia when they need it the most.
Mr. Soldan's criminal defense practice includes traffic violations such as reckless driving, DUI, and driving on a suspended license. Clients also come to him when they have been charged with any type of misdemeanor or felony including fraud, theft, juvenile delinquency, drug crimes and domestic violence.
Those who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents or the family members of a wrongful death case also seek his experience and knowledge during difficult times. His personal injury practice includes motor vehicle accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, dog bites and medical malpractice.Â
After obtaining an undergraduate degree from Lafayette College, where Mr. Soldan earned Academic All-Patriot League status on the baseball diamond and honors in the classroom studying government-law and history, he attended the University of Georgia School of Law. There he graduated with his Juris Doctor and had the opportunity to help underprivileged families obtain their lawfully designated educational benefits during a Special Education Practicum.
With more than a decade of experience behind him, Mr. Soldan has worked with firms of all sizes, gaining valuable insight into criminal law and litigation matters. Before joining the firm, he spent eight years managing a growing regional criminal and civil litigation practice. He is admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia as well as the federal courts of the Eastern District of Virginia and Western District of Virginia.Â
