Baskin, Jackson, Hansbarger & Duffett, P.C., one of Falls Church?s oldest law firms, was founded in 1950, by William M. Baskin. His son, William M. Baskin, Jr. and John G. Jackson have been members of the firm for more than 25 years. More recently, William H. Hansbarger and Robert J. Duffett have joined the firm and become partners. Collectively, the four current partners have over 100 years legal experience. With our office conveniently located in the City of Falls Church, we provide legal representation throughout the Northern Virginia area.

Since the practice of law continues to diversify and increase in complexity, each of the firm's attorneys restricts his practice to certain specific fields for maximum proficiency. Our areas of expertise include all types of personal, business and commercial litigation; estate planning and related tax planning techniques; probate and estate administration; zoning, land use and related real estate matters; commercial and residential landlord representation; lease review and litigation; and domestic relations.

The nationally recognized reference treatise, Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, rates attorneys and firms on their ability and professional attributes. An "AV" rating is the highest. The "A" signifies the "highest levels of legal ability," while the "V" denotes "very high adherence to professional standards of conduct, ethics, reliability and diligence." Other ratings include "BV," "CV," and no rating. Baskin, Jackson, Hansbarger & Duffett, P.C. is proud to note that each of our attorneys is rated "AV".

Inclusion of law firms in the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers is reserved, as the name implies, for the "preeminent" practitioners. Baskin, Jackson, Hansbarger & Duffett, P.C. is also pleased to be listed in this register.

Ratings in both Martindale-Hubbell publications are based on a peer review system compiled from the confidential opinions of practicing attorneys and members of the judiciary.
