Marie Washington - Excellent Lawyer

I recently hired Marie Washington for a reckless speeding violation I received in Fauquier County. My interaction with Marie started off with a free consultation in which she was able to provide me with a great deal of information and unbiased advice on what I should do. I had contacted 5+ lawyers be...fore I found Marie, and I chose to work with her because she seemed to have a genuine interest in my case and she has built a great relationship with the local judge and DA over her many years of practice. She was very professional, very responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the state laws and local court system. She and her staff did a excellent job of keeping me informed of the process and in the end, they were even able to get my charges reduced significantly so that I only paid a small fine. I would highly recommend her to anybody who has speeding tickets or traffic violations. Can't hurt to call for a free consultation. Marie, thanks so much for the help! Let's hope I never need your representation again. :)

Virginia Reckless Driving Charge

Marie represented me on a charge of reckless driving, 20 mph over the posted speed limit. This was my first offense after many years of driving and can potentially result in a criminal record. I found Marie through the Virginia Bar Association and was very pleased with the professional and efficient ...way in which she handled my case. As discussed in our initial 30 minute face to face meeting Marie was able to get the charge reduced to a traffic infraction. I am very grateful for her help and the courteous service provided by Marie and her staff. Marie is professional but at the same time caring and reassuring. I have Marie in my contact list and I would not hesitate to recommend her law office to anyone in need of legal representation.

Reckless Ticket Reduction

Marie did an excellent job at helping me with my reckless ticket. Not only was I able to keep my liscense, but the reckless charged was dropped to a speeding violation. She was more than happy to help, and enjoyed doing it too. If you want a lawyer that cares about what happened and wants to make a p...ositive difference for you, then Marie Washington is who you want. I was happy to have been able to get to know her and happy that she was able to help. I will definitely be comig back if I have any future incidents that need legal help. Thank you!

Grateful for the connection

I received a speeding ticket in VA while on vacation, driving to Washington DC. Living in CA and unable to travel back to that state, I searched for legal representation. Having to retain an attorney long distance over the phone was unsettling. However, Ms. Washington had very positive reviews fro...m previous clients, even out of state clients. From my very first interaction through the end to a very positive outcome, Ms. Washington and her staff were professional and responsive. I was very impressed; felt that I was represented well; and would not hesitate to recommend her.

Reckless Driving Charge: Not Guilty with the help of Ms. Marie Washington

I hired Ms. Washington after I received a reckless driving ticket. I was involved in an accident on October 14, 2013. I was hit by a tractor trailer. The driver said he did not run the lght. I was taken to the hospital after sustaining a compound fracture of my right femur, broken ribs, a laceration ...on my forehead, a major concussion, multiple bruises, and a hemotoma on my right forearm. I spent several days in the hospital. The state trooper finally met with me about four weeks later. He said the assistant commonwealth attorney told him to charge me with reckless driving since I had no memory of the accident. At that time, I was given a referral to Ms. Washington. My husband and I interviewed her and hired her to defend me. She met with me prior to my first court date. She communicated with the assistant commonwealth, trying to get her to at least reduce the charge to improper driving. The assistant commonwealth attorney refused so she advised me to go to trial. Ms. Washington met with me again prior to the trial date. At trial, the truck driver failed to show. At that time, Ms. Washington advised me not to testify. I took her advice. After all testimony was given, the judge talked about his familiarity with the intersection. Then he gave his ruling and found me not guilty. I feel that Ms. Washington did an excellent job defending me against this charge. She was professional, gave me good advice, and did her homework. She was really well prepared and one could tell she really cared about me as a client.
