Reckless Driving Charge

Andi is a very experienced and dedicated attorney that goes well above and beyond for her clients to secure the best outcome. Because of her hard work and devotion to this case, my son's reckless driving charge (reckless 76/40) was basically dismissed and reduced to a 0 point violation (failure to pa...y time and attendance). If it wasn't for her, he would have faced a very hefty fine, 6 demerit points and even possibly jail time. Not only did she secure the best outcome, but she did it all without us present at court. My son wasn't able to attend due to being in school and I was on my way to a 10 day cruise. Again, she has done an outstanding job and I cannot thank her enough. We'll definitely hire her again should anything like this happen in the future, which fingers crossed, I hope it wont. So, if you are on the fence of deciding whether to hire an attorney, let me tell you, she is worth it. Just call her and explain your case. She won't charge for the initial consultation and will honestly tell you if your case is worth fighting for and give you a very realistic expectation as far as outcome.

Surpassed expectations.

In 2019, I was in the DMV area for a graduation. While driving, I was stopped for speeding (89/55) in Fairfax County. I am not from the area, and did not realize how serious a speeding ticket could get in Virginia. I decided to go to my court hearing without representation. Before I could approac...h the podium to speak, the judge explained that I could possibly lose my license today due to the speed I was alleged to have been doing. The judge had mercy on me, recommended that I hire an attorney, and continued the case for a later date. After doing some searching, I was referred to attorney Geloo. Immediately after contacting Attorney Geloo, she began giving me advice, and strategies on how to handle the case. She gave me several steps to take and advice over the next 4 days as part of her free consultation. After I asked for the price of representation, she made it clear to me that I was under no obligation to hire her, although she already gave me all of the information and steps necessary to present myself in a great light and defend myself in court. Although I am very skeptical about paying for a service I cannot prove will be beneficial, in addition to thinking all these great reviews must be part of a scam; considering I was facing possible jail time, 8 points on my record and suspension of my license (leading to loss of my job), I decided to hire Attorney Geloo (even after receiving dozens of letters in the mail from other Attorneys). Something about her professionalism and collaborative style, made the decision easier. After attending my next court hearing with Attorney Geloo by my side, and having my misdemeanor reckless driving charge, dropped down to an infraction/fine which will not stay on my record, I realized that this was the best decision I could have made. Her representation was %100 beneficial and she surpassed my expectations. No jail, no points on record, no license suspension and I keep my job. The weight is completely off my shoulders. Attorney Geloo is great at her job and an overall lovely woman. She loves her job and has a great enthusiasm and spirit. SAVE TIME AND HIRE HER NOW. LISTEN TO HER ADVICE MORE THAN WORTH IT !!!!!!

Andi is a lifesaver

Andi gives great care not just to her clients but to anyone in a tough spot. She gave me a full consultation with great ideas even before I retained her. My Reckless Driving charge (89/55mph) was dropped to a speeding infraction 74/55mph. I am so thankful for her and cannot recommend her counsel more....

Posted by John Quaranta | August 08, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Outstanding Representation

I could fill a book on the amount of help Andi gave me (for free) even before I agreed to retain her as my attorney. I received step-by-step advice and preparation before my court date . After our preparation in the morning of our court date.. Andy called me and said hurry up into the court Room r...ight now, I did and she immediately had my Criminal charges dismissed. I was doing 91 in a 55 and was told by 4 other attorneys at that speed I Should expect jail time . She has an almost supernatural ability to read the court Room, and When she saw how other Proceedings were going If youand the demeanor of the judge she immediately called me in and within 2 minutes my case was over .Her courtroom strategies and immediate and impeccable attention to detail Had my criminal charges dropped and I received a simple speeding ticket.

Hire Andi Geloo for peace of mind and the best possible successful outcome

She is simply the best! If you ever want to feel the full power and force of an extremely effective and intelligent lawyer who will fight for you all the way, then hire Ms. Geloo! Ms. Geloo just represented last week in fact for a Reckless Driving charge - I was going 80mph/55mph on I-66 on a Saturda...y morning (rushing to get to work, believe it or not). Her effectiveness begins from the very moment your anxiety compels you to get a lawyer (and you should always get a lawyer for a Reckless Driving charge, as advised to me by several friends and family). She called me personally no less than within 20 minutes of my first contact with her office. In that first call, she gave me so much valuable advice (for free in that first call) that I knew at once I should go with her. She then guided me through the whole process, telling me what I should do at every phase (take the right class, get the car calibrated, etc) - every bit of which helps. She sends extremely clear emails with well laid out instructions of what to do and when to do it by. You'll never go wrong. She listens to what you have to say about the case. When she meets you for the first time, at once you find an empathetic person who hears you! That is the best thing you can hope from a lawyer - someone who empathizes and listens to your story, and then who goes to bat for you, and fights for the best possible outcome. If you want to sleep well at night when faced with a serious charge like this, get Andi! She will repay your trust tenfold! Her skills and representation are simply excellent!! I owe her a lot!

"I offer Ms. Geloo my highest recommendation. I have had the pleasure of being able to observe Andi in action for the past several years, and she is a fierce warrior that obtains great results for her clients. It is always a pleasure to see her in action, whether it's negotiating a favorable outcome for her clients, or taking a matter to trial. She is fearless as they come and is incredibly well respected from courthouse to courthouse and courtroom to courtroom in Virginia. I cannot say enough good things about Andi, and the thing that i find most impressive about her is her kindness and willingness to assist others.
