From December 17 to December 23, 2014, my last week of work before Christmas break, I helped twelve different clients in five different cities avoid reckless driving convictions in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Newport News, and Northampton either through reductions or dismissals. So as to not bore you, I’ve included a sampling of the more noteworthy cases, involving speeds of 90 mph, 88 mph, and 87 mph.
