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.
