Alexandra Mannix, Attorney At Fairfax Divorce Lawyers



In 2025, Alexandra Mannix joined The Irving Law Firm, focusing primarily on criminal defense, representing both retained clients and court-appointed indigent defense clients.


Before joining the firm, Alexandra served as a Law Clerk for the Honorable Julia A. Minner at the Circuit Court for Frederick County in Frederick, Maryland. During law school, she earned her Third Year Practice Certificate and completed internships in the Loudoun County Circuit Court Chambers and Arlington County Circuit Court Chambers, gaining firsthand experience with judges and clerks across three courthouses. These roles provided her with a strong understanding of judicial expectations and courtroom advocacy, including drafting legal memoranda on complex issues, reviewing Presentence Investigation Reports, and ensuring statutory compliance in case files prior to final orders.


Alexandra’s commitment to fairness and the judicial system is also reflected in her academic work. In 2023, she co-authored a chapter in the Edward Elgar Research Handbook on Law and Political Systems, which examined correlations between judges’ gender, race, and partisanship and their verdicts, appeals, and reversals. She contributed original research by compiling a comprehensive dataset of every trial judge in Alabama, providing new insights for scholarly review.


A native of Flemington, New Jersey, Alexandra graduated summa cum laude from The College of New Jersey with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. She earned her J.D. from George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School, where she was a member of the Journal of Law, Economics and Policy.


Alexandra combines her academic rigor, practical courtroom experience, and commitment to client advocacy to provide knowledgeable, strategic, and compassionate representation in criminal defense matters.
