Yes!

Ok. Where do I begin? Well, I know I hired a very good attorney here, because I know I had a pretty threatening case on the line, and that I hired the right person. How do I know I got in contact with the right person? Well I had a 1st misdemeanor charge 2 years ago, and I was told to hire anyone to ...get a reduced charge. I won't mention who I hired, but it wasn't the right one because I paid a fair amount to them, showed up in court with that guy, told me what the verdict was, a painful one by the way, and didn't give me the option to go to trial. I lost the case and I started to believe that all attorneys just grab your money and don't help anyone... I was wrong now, because I had a new misdemeanor charge a few weeks ago, and I was really scared. I researched online and found this page, and I already was thinking that this service was too good to be true after reading the testimonials, especially after getting contact with this one, and she has given me actual suggestions, unlike the first one, and sounded very nice over the phone, despite that my driving record was horrifying. Getting to the point, my case turned out to be satisfactory. If I hadn't won the case, I would have been offered to go to trial, again... Unlike my first one..., and now I am strongly recommending her! Despite that I don't get to save pocket money like everyone wishes, it was worth every penny! My record is surprisingly safe.....Thanks Andi!

Great legal skills and very caring

Andi was absolutely perfect! She gave very detailed instructions on how to prepare for my reckless driving case. I followed them all and she got my case dismissed! But, most importantly, Andi saw how stressed I was and really cared for me. She is a wonderful combination of great legal skills and has ...a very caring nature. If you are in trouble, go with Andi and you will be glad. I know that I am.

R-D charge? & more Andi helped me!

I was charged with reckless driving-86/55 & Following to close along with Improper Passing (shoulder) loading up the bases i was lucky to not go to jail on the spot. I contacted Andi Geloo and got an immediate response, i retained Andi Geloo and we began a email chain making it so easy to get the inf...o to her she needed to start my defense. Andi always acknowledged my emails and kept me well informed, including about my court date, room and even directions And when court was postponed due to snow she let me know before 6:am. Before court Andi assigned me some simple tasks like community service & a class to be ready. On the day of court i provided Andi with all the ammo i had for my defense and she used all of it. Andi was able to negotiate with the commonwealths attorney (prosecutor) a nolle pross on my two infractions and then to let her argue out my reckless in front of the judge against the trooper and the commonwealth. Andi Geloo stood fast and countered all that the commonwealth brought against me (witch was alot they had on me) Andi made my case so well the judge agreed to reduce my reckless driving charge to improper driving. Absolutely the best outcome i could have ever hoped for (without a time machine) I had the three charges against me one of witch was a misdemeanor (reckless). Two of them she got nolle pross and the big reckless reduced to improper driving! Now i am not a criminal for the rest of my life Thanks to Andi Geloo. Thank You So Very Much Andi You made it possible for me to be in control of my life now instead of the court and to move forward with my life and health, Thanks again. Sincerely, Drew

Talented Attorney

I'm an aeronautical engineer from the UK and was sent over to work on a project in Maryland in the fall of last year. Just after Christmas, I was on the highway in Virginia and was pulled over by a police trooper for speeding. He gave me a reckless driving ticket and I honestly did not know the sever...ity of it only until I got home and started doing research. After reading through numerous forums, I realised that I’m going to need an attorney! I was truly lucky to be recommended Andi Geloo by an attorney I got speaking to near where I live. When I contacted Andi, it was very clear to me that she definitely knew what she was doing. She was very helpful and walked me through the ways we can approach my case. This reassured me and knew straight away that I wanted her to represent me! I did everything that was requested by Andi, like attending a course and pulling together my clean UK drivers record and university certificates and on the day of my hearing, it really couldn’t have gone any smoother! Andi simply asked me to sit outside my courtroom whilst she communicated with the prosecutor. Andi’s confidence in my case proved to be accurate as she was very successful in reducing my reckless driving ticket to a speeding ticket of a 1-9mph speeding band. The fact that she was able to do this reflects her in-depth experience, knowledge of the US legal system and certainly her excellent competency skills to communicate and negotiate. Furthermore, my misdemeanour had been reduced to a simple infraction. Residing only 3 months in the US and not knowing the legal system nor having good contacts proved to be a tough time for me. I am so glad Andi represented me and gave me the reassurance I needed - I am certainly very grateful. I would fully recommend her to anyone needing an attorney as she will achieve the best results possible over other attorneys or self-representing.

Premier. Traffic. Attorney. Bottomline.

As a mom of two teenage sons, I've been on the receiving end of a few of those phone calls that start off with, "This is Officer [insert name]..." and "Mom, I'm kinda in trouble..." My sons aren't bad kids. They got decent grades, were active in athletics, and did chores on demand. However, like m...any teens, they made some bad decisions that got them into situations where legal representation was the most prudent choice to ensure the most favorable outcome. As a parent, I didn't want to wipe away all of their sins; there ARE consequences for ones' actions. On the other hand, because of immaturity and lapses in good judgment while operating a vehicle, I didn't want them to be branded for life with convictions that impact insurability, policy rates, AND their eligibility for future employment. Ms. Geloo offers a rare combination of legal prowess and honest business practices. Her terms for compensation and payment are fair and reasonable given her service and oversight of your case. At every stage before the court hearings, Ms. Geloo, provided sage advice and detailed instructions for proactive steps needed to prepare for our cases (yeah, plural, C-A-S-E-S; we're repeat customers). On court day, Ms. Geloo is well-prepared and the epitome of professionalism and enthusiasm. She stands out among the majority of her peers who show up to represent clients in bad suits, stained ties and weary appearances. On a day where you and your legal counsel both need to be on your "A Game," being dressed to impress and having an air of confidence to match helps convey, "We're taking this seriously and we're here to demonstrate our sincerity on this matter." If you have the need for an attorney in Northern Virginia, I whole-heartedly recommend Andi Geloo.. Call Andi before you, your spouse, or child speak to police if you, too, get one of those dreaded phone calls.
