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.

In September, we served clients at different courts in the Hampton Roads area. Clients avoided reckless driving convictions when charged with: 94/55 RD, 90/55 RD, 90/55 RD, 87/55 RD, 83/55 RD, 75/55 RD (dismissed), and 46/25 RD (dismissed) in Virginia Beach; 91/55 RD and 83/55 RD in Norfolk; 90/60 RD, 88/60 RD, and 86/60 RD in Chesapeake; and 66/45 RD (dismissed) in Newport News

Clients also got dismissals for charges such as reckless driving generally in Hampton and misdemeanor hit and run in Norfolk. We also helped clients in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Northampton avoid jail time for reckless driving convictions for speeds as high as 96/55 and 94/55.
