DISCLAIMER – EACH CASE IS UNIQUE AND CASE RESULTS DEPEND ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL SITUATION. CASE RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE OR PREDICT A SIMILAR RESULT IN ANY FUTURE CASE UNDERTAKEN BY THE LAWYER.

Below we feature a sampling of case results from December 2018 to February 2019.  Our clients had their charges either dropped OR dismissed for felony hit and run, reckless driving at 105 mph, racing, DUI, reckless driving, fictitious tags, possession of marijuana, following too closely, improper lane change, obstruction of justice, disorderly conduct, defrauding an innkeeper and more. A client avoided a conviction for felony possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and had his charge reduced to a misdemeanor. Clients avoided reckless driving convictions through dismissals or reductions to traffic infractions in cities such as Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Northampton, Southampton, Williamsburg, and Suffolk.
