In Virginia, reckless driving is more than a traffic ticket; it is a Class I misdemeanor. That means that in addition to spiking the cost of your car insurance premiums for several years, you could have a criminal conviction on your permanent record, a suspended or restricted driver’s license, thousands of dollars in fines and up to a year in jail time.

Top 3 Questions Our Clients Ask:
Did they have a right to pull me over just because I have New Jersey plates? Yes, this is actually our most frequently asked question! And no, officers cannot even see your plates when your speed is considered reckless. Officers detect speed through radar and lidar guns.
Will it help if I do a driver improvement course? Yes! Successful completion of a driver’s improvement course will typically result in 5 safe driving points and a higher likelihood that your charges will be reduced or dismissed.

“I got my first driving ticket for, Reckless Driving, I was so scared and worried about so many things. John took my case and explained everything to me. When the court day arrived, I could hardly breathe! He was so professional and very smartly stated the case. Within minutes the judge dropped everything!!! Thanks, John you really are the best!!!!!” –Tina
“I received a speeding ticket on 264W going 86 in a 55. I knew I was screwed especially because I’m in the military. From the very start, Mr. Gardner gave me great advice on how to possibly lower my punishment so I took action. The court date came and there was an evil Judge that had just sent someone to jail for speeding right before me. I was so nervous but John kept his cool and worked his magic. While we were up there it was the officer’s time to give a statement. John was listening carefully to everything the officer was saying and caught a fault. John caught a mistake which quickly led to the case being dismissed. Thank you so much, John! Aside from your great rates you provided the best legal representation I could have ever asked for!” –Luis
