Steven L. Duckett Jr.

I hired Steve Duckett back in Dec 2014 when I was charged with a DUI involved in a 3 cars accident. Without getting too specific, Steve pointed out a couple glaring mistakes that the officers made during the rest and was able to get my potential DUI charge to dismiss avoiding a lengthy license suspen...sion and DUI on my record. After meeting with Steve I knew immediately he was the man for the job. He put all the potential outcomes on the table but told he was confident he could get together all of the evident including the video during my arrest. Steve presented the evident in 2 lengthy court sessions and at one point during the court session in June 2015, I was nervous and asked what if I plead guilty but Steve told me “You hired me and this is my job we are going to trial”. Not only that but he was straightforward, honest, and more than fair with his fee. He made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. If you have a similar legal issue I would highly recommend Steve to defend you.

My son was cited for reckless driving and speeding. Reckless driving is a class 1 misdemeanor, a criminal offense, with the possibility of jail time, a hefty fine, license suspension and six DMV points. I looked for an attorney with proven experience with these types of cases. Luckily, we found St...eve. Through several discussions with prosecutors on the day of the hearing, Steve was able to negotiate the reckless driving charge down to improper driving, which is only a traffic infraction. Results: no jail time; no license suspension; a $250 fine; and most importantly no misdemeanor conviction. We are VERY pleased with the legal support we received from Steve.

While driving north on I-95 on a late Sunday afternoon within the posted speed limit, my car slipped off the wet pavement on an exit ramp, hitting the guardrail, and coming to a stop over an unused lamp post on the grass. I was charged, to my astonishment, with “criminal reckless driving,” a Class 1... misdemeanor. The only additional damage was to my own car. Through a referral, I secured legal representation by Steven Duckett, Esq. He was extraordinarily sympathetic, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. We remained in frequent mutual communication during the pre-trial period. Before the magistrate in Prince William County, Virginia, Steve’s calm but confident demeanor and savvy in private conference led to a significant reduction of the charge to “improper driving,” the most minor infraction under the law with no criminal penalties or driving “points” and only a nominal court fee. I recommend Steve Duckett with abounding enthusiasm.

I was involved in a Wreckless Driving: Racing charge and was certain that I wouldn't be able to get I reduced. However, after retaining Mr. Dockett's services, he advised me very well and had me prepare certain things that would help my case and rest assured, he saved me from a major fine and other s...evere consequences. Steve is a very smart man and an excellent defense attorney. I would recommend him to any peers or colleagues.

Now! I am in "Heaven". The moment that I found my beloved nephew was in detention center charged with a felony, I just fall into "Hell". I saw him when he was born and grew up. He had never ever been in a simple small fight. I knew something went seriously wrong but I could not think straight.  Fort...unately, my husband's friend who knows a lot about this kind matter, recommended this "Excellent Attorney Steven Duckett." Attorney Steven Duckett analyzed the case clearly. Even though my nephew did not do anything wrong, the situation wasn't my nephew's side. The case took a little more than four months as Attorney Steven predicted. In the end, Attorney Steven conjured "Justice." My nephew was able to elude the other party's set-up. Thank you, Thank you, again Steven, Ellen,
