- Q. Reckless speeding ticket, need lawyer for court appearance and fine advice.
- A: Reckless Driving is a misdemeanor criminal offense that may impact your drivers license, employment and immigration status.
I recommend that you complete a driver improvement course approved for Virginia before court. This may be done online. I also recommend getting a speedometer calibration of the vehicle and getting a copy of your driving record from the DMV.
I can attend court and seek to get it dismissed or reduced to a non-criminal traffic infraction, such as Improper Driving. Please contact a lawyer for specific guidance on the facts of your case.
- Q. My boyfriend got a ticket for driving on a suspended back in November 2018 and he just got convicted for it on 8/02/2020
- A: Yes, your boyfriend needs to file a Motion to Rehear the case. He has 60 days to file this motion from the date of conviction. The appeal period is only ten days, so this is his only option.
Contact my office and we may discuss the facts related to the filing of the case. He may have grounds for dismissal of the case for police misconduct. 703-352-9044.
- Q. I was cited for failing to obey a sign (reduced from a possible speeding charge). Pay or go to court? 5 safety points.
- A: You have an excellent driving record and may be able to get the charge deferred for dismissal with a driver improvement course or reduced to a non-moving violation with no points. You need to consult with a good traffic lawyer with experience in the county in which you got the ticket. Convictions may affect employment for professional drivers.
Results often depend on the county involved and the skill and reputation of your lawyer. If you have questions contact my office for a free consultation.
