From the advertisement material I received from Earley Legal LLC, the first call I made to the company all the way to the case results, everything was handled so professionally and Ina timely manner. I am grateful I hired your.
I was very grateful to find Mark Early to be my attorney for a traffic ticket due to an accident. When I found out that I had been charged with reckless driving, I was completely distraught. After a lengthy conversation with Mark, I felt relieved. He explained the situation and the typical process. While we waited for the court date, I had other questions regarding my ticket. Mark was always very responsive and helpful.
In the end, he was successful in getting my ticket reduced to a civil traffic ticket with a small fine. The best result I could have asked for! I am forever grateful for his help and consultation! I highly recommend Mark and his firm for any type of traffic violation.

During those years I’ve also served as the Attorney General of Virginia and as a Senator in Virginia’s State Senate. In addition, for ten years I served as President and CEO of the world’s largest outreach to prisoners and their families, Prison Fellowship.

Every day I handle DWI/DUI, Reckless Driving, Serious Traffic Offenses, and Criminal cases for my clients. These are significant charges that can affect your life forever. (Certain convictions will appear on state driving records, result in demerit points, increase the price of car insurance, and in some cases such as DUI, reckless driving, or driving on a suspended license can result in jail time and the loss of driving privileges.) If you find yourself in a similar situation, no matter how complicated or difficult it may seem, I can help you get your life back! It’s what I do and it is my passion.
My clients are my number one priority. Although I cannot guarantee the outcome of your case, I can guarantee that I will treat you with dignity and respect. I can guarantee that I will treat your case as if it’s my most important case, because I know that it is YOUR most important case.

Extremely Competent & Responsive
Proactive legal guidance and representation to avoid points on my driver’s license, criminal conviction, potential license suspension, and future exorbitant auto insurance costs. Mr. Earley was responsive and hands-on prior to and after my court date. He successfully negotiated a fair and reasonable settlement. I am extremely pleased with his robust and highly competent legal representation.

Very happy with Mark Sr.
I hired Mark for a reckless driving summons. This was my first time I would ever need to appear in court, so I wanted a lawyer to walk me through the process, represent me at court, and ensure I did everything possible to get the best outcome. Through Mark's advice and recommendation, I completed a Driver Improvement Course online, something I would have no knowledge of without him. Because of Mark, and probably some of my good driving record, Mark was able to speak with the prosecutor and change my reckless driving charge to a non-moving defective equipment violation. Going in to this process, my hope was to reduce the charge from reckless driving to speeding. Mark was able to do even better than the best outcome I was hoping for.

best money spent
I was in a terrible accident and suffered from a concussion along with other injuries. Mark and his team were flexible and easy to work with, especially since the beginning of our calls I needed extra time to get my paper work together. During the case Mark was informative, compassionate, and very professional. I would recommend him to anyone who would need a traffic lawyer.

Best Lawyer in Virginia
I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Earley Sr., on my reckless driving case of 103/55mph zone. I faced the possibility of up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine of $2,500. By doing everything Mr. Earley instructed me to do prior to my court date, I was able to serve no jail time and only had to pay a fine. If you need a lawyer who will fight to get you the best possible case outcome, then Mr. Earley is your lawyer!

Reckless Driving reduced to Civil Traffic Infraction
I was given a ticket in Frederick County, VA for Reckless Driving, a Class 1 misdemeanor – a criminal offence. I did my homework when looking for representation which led me to inquire about Mark Earley Sr. I spoke to Mark directly and we discussed the particulars of my case. He explained how it would work if I retained him for counsel. He charged a flat rate fee for representing me in court. I liked the sounds of that and agreed to hire him. He uses an on-line case management system, called Client Portal. I really liked it as all communication was sent through the on-line system. I could sign documents and upload them to the portal; I could send messages and all documentation was always right there for me to review whenever I wanted. In addition, I was able to call and speak to an assistant at any time and my message got me in touch with Mark right away. Mark was very good at explaining everything to me and answered all my questions which included recommendations on what I could do. Mark and I met outside the courtroom at the trial, he reviewed everything with me and then went to talk to the policeman and the prosecutor. He was able to secure an agreement to reduce the criminal charge of reckless driving to a civil traffic infraction. The case went before the judge, was processed as a traffic infraction. It was a pleasure working with Mark and a huge relief to have my day in court resolved favorably. I highly recommend his services.

The Best Speeding Ticket Lawyer in Virginia!!!!
After receiving a speeding ticket in Leesburg, Virginia, I decided to hire Mr. Mark Earley Sr. as my legal counsel. A speeding ticket was issued to me because I was speeding and since I am out of town, I was not really familiar with certain of the driving regulations in Virginia. Mark was very excellent at explaining everything to me. Mark worked with me from the very beginning, and he was very thorough and meticulous about what needed to be done. He argued on my behalf in court and secured for me the most favorable verdict possible, which stipulated that nothing would be noted on my driving record and that I would be required to pay just a very modest fine in addition to the court expenses. When it comes to his rates, they are extremely fair and not too expensive. In the event that you have been issued a speeding ticket in Virginia, I cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Earley. I enjoyed dealing with Mr. Earley, but I really hope that we won't have to work together again in the future for the obvious reasons! lol

A situation that could had gone deeply worst
Mr. Earley Sr. and team was amazing. The first thing Mr. Earley did was reassuring and putting my mind at ease. I appreciated and needed that reassure because I was a total rack. Then he told me if I retain him he can't promise me anything but, he will try his best to get drop or reduce. After a day or two I called and hired Mr. Earley to represent me. I felt because of his honesty and integrity he was the right person for me and my case. To sum it up after retaining Mr. Early he immediately jumped into my case and the rest is history. On May 18th Mr. Earley called and gave me the good new that I received infraction defective equipment. Again, Thanks Mr. Earley you the best...

Outstanding Attorney
I can’t express enough, my gratitude and appreciation for the work that Mark Earley did with my case. He was very kind, genuine as well as direct and to the point. My case had gone on for literally almost 2 years. Mark was my 2nd attorney due to after a year of case continuations my case had to be appealed and it required a new Lawyer. Little did we know that soon after retaining Marks firm COVID would bring life as we know it to a halt disrupting current events, plans in process and the future of things we looked forward to and the things we wanted to be done with were stalled in place, thus brought us to the longevity of my case. Thankfully today was the day that all things finally came together and it couldn’t have ended any better. Mark got my case dropped/dismissed. Again he took our conversations to heart and represented me in that same way. Forever grateful for a job well done. I would definitely recommend Mark Earley Sr and his firm.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! HIGHLY QUALIFIED!
When I say I was beyond please with Mr Earley's professionalism, his ability to explain my charges clearly and percisely and his honesty on the best case/ worst case scenarios resulting possible outcomes of my case, thats an understatement. The fact that Mr Earley Sr. took the time to send me a list of things I should bring to court to be prepared and help my case was phenomenal. No one wants to feel helpless when it comes to their liberties, no matter how big or small the infraction or charges and he made me feel like I was apart of fighting this battle with him.
Never getting into any trouble with the law or going to court before made me nervous about stepping foot in a courtroom in front of a judge, but Mr Earley Sr made those nerves go away from first sight. He was confident and looked me right in the eyes and told me he was going to fight for me. It made me feel like I was one of his family members and like he was going to represent for me in that courtroom like he would for a sister or daughter. My worries were put at ease. Though I wish I would never need to see Mr Earley Sr again for another traffic infraction, I wanted to take the time to highly recommend him because if I could pass the blessing of having good representation in court to someone else in need he would be the first one I would refer.
Being from outside of VA, I had trust issues with lawyers from other states, but Mr Earley was very knowledgeable about VA laws, as well as having expertise on traffic, DUI, DWI and speeding charges. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case and how hard he fought for me. 5 STAR rating for Mr Earley Sr & the Earley Legal Group!!!!!

Spotsylvania Virginia Speeding Ticket
After recieivmg a speeding ticket 99/70, I recieved over 25 Attorney solicitation flyers, one day after the speeding ticket. My gut told me to seek out the best in the business and I damn sure got the best in the business Mark Jr. and Sr. after reading on the internet their credentials. I picked out my lawyer randomly Mark Jr. and Sr. was amazing and made me feel comfortable right away, oh and how many attorneys return your telephone call within a 20-30 minute time period right after leaving a message? Not many... Mark Sr. came in confident never gave me any BS and he knew what he was doing and cared about me as a human being and what this might do to my life. He got the charges dropped and even if he hadn't I was confident he would have have gotten the charges reduced to a fine.
Mr. Early's fee was very resonable compared to a few other lawers I called and said to me, we just have to take our shot at what the judge will give you, to me that is disparaging when facing a serious speeding charge.
Mr. Early, your firm is top notch and I see why many law firms aspire to be like your firm.
Much Respect
Danny

Absolutely outstanding
I hired Mr. Earley for a DUI case that wasn't the first. He got me out of jail when presumption was against bond, and I ended up with no criminal convictions. He was transparent and very communicative throughout the entire process. He treats you like a friend, versus a client.
Couldn't ask for anything better. Mr. Earley saved my career and my life.

Great Lawyer
I hired Mark Sr. for my DUI case and he got me the most leniency(Lowest court costs and least restrictions etc...) possible with a guilty verdict. I am happy with the outcome, it could not have been better.

Legend!
I was a nervous wreck through the entire case. This was a pivotal case for me and I needed a lawyer I could trust. Mark’s firm stays calm, cool and collected, and deliver results. I was in and out of court within 30-45 mins and I was offered the second best plea deal possible. Mark really nailed it. I highly recommend Earley Legal Group to anyone who might be in a situation similar to mine.
