Traffic ticket defense in Loudon County

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.

Professional and knowledgeable

Mark demonstrated strong expertise and communicated very responsively. He clearly explained everything I needed to know and achieved an outstanding outcome for my case. I'm extremely grateful for Mark's work and help with this difficult matter and I strongly recommend him and his firm.

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 D...river 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.
