§ 01 — The founding attorney
A former prosecutor who returned to the same body of law from the other side of the courtroom.
Mr. Sris is a former prosecutor. He founded the Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. in 1997 and has practiced continuously ever since. He is admitted in five U.S. jurisdictions — Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York. In 2019, Mr. Sris testified before the Virginia House Courts of Justice Committee in support of HB 635 (chief patron Del. David Bulova), which addressed Va. Code § 20-107.3(g) — Virginia's equitable distribution statute. Bill history is searchable on the Virginia Legislative Information System at lis.virginia.gov.
"Five-state practice is not a marketing claim. It is a docket reality. The clients who hire us have lives, families, businesses, and exposures that do not fit inside one set of state borders — and they deserve representation that does not, either."
§ 02 — Jurisdictional coverage
Five state bars. One standard of representation.
When the charges, the parties, or the witnesses are spread across the Northeast corridor, you should not have to assemble a patchwork of strangers. Our bar admissions are listed below — in each state, our counsel appears in the courts where we are admitted.
