Raj Dua

Driving through Loudoun County, VA near Leesburg on a Thanksgiving trip to visit my daughter on a 4-lane highway, I made a snap decision to continue to pass a gentleman on my right who had sped up as I began to pass him. This unfortunate decision resulted in my exceeding the posted speed limit by 21... MPH. The officer provided me with a summons for Reckless Driving , the penalty for 20+ MPH in excess of the posted limit. An officer pulled me over and issued what I thought was a ticket. Unfortunately, it was a Summons and included a court date to appear the following February. Since this all occurred as the holiday weekend began and we made the 400+ mile return trip home on Sunday, there wasn’t an opportunity to do anything about it. Once I researched/understood the details and implications, it was clear that I needed an attorney. Along with the February Court appearance, maximum possible penalties included up to 12 months in jail, a $2,500 fine, insurance cost increases and a criminal entry on my driving record. I began researching attorneys in Virginia and also began receiving letters from attorneys offering their services. Based on the research, I chose Raj Dua to represent me. He specializes in traffic cases, has long-term expertise and research yielded a surprisingly large number of extremely positive reviews reflecting outstanding results. I called & left a message. Raj not only returned the message, but did so at 8:30 PM, well after business hours when he should have been enjoying some downtime. He was professional, articulate and confident and laid out the details of what I was facing. He then explained what the options were and, based on his experience, what the likely outcome would be with a range of probable final solutions – all ending in a much better place than where I was starting (very accurate prediction, BTW). Plus, he would represent me in court, relieving me of the burden of making an 800+ mile round trip in the dead of winter. I hired him for the job. He also called a few days before the court date to let me know he was still there and reassure me that he would handle everything on court day. Yesterday, following court, Raj called and let me know that the he had negotiated the charge from the original “Reckless Driving” and also bypassed the next tier of “Speeding” (both having much worse implications for driving records, insurance cost increases and the size of the fine) on the way to a final reduced charge of “Fail to Obey a Traffic Sign”. And the resultant fine for the final charge was negotiated to less than the maximum it could have been. Based on my experience, and without reservation, I highly recommended Raj for his expertise, ability, demeanor and professionalism. If you find yourself in a similar situation for traffic violations in Northern Virginia and need extremely capable representation, he should be at the top of your list.

From the very beginning Raj was very responsive by email and phone. I was speeding well above the speed limit and Raj obtained a very favorable outcome. On the court day he was very patient with me and described my options in detail. He worked diligently with the prosecutor to obtain the best result ...given the charges. He walked with me to cashier which I consider going above and beyond. I would use his services in the future .

Mr. Dua was professional during the entire process, had great communication and I was very happy with the result. Of course, each case is different but if he gives you certain requirements to meet, I suggest to fulfill them to the best of your ability to allow him to do the same in turn. Received a r...eckless driving citation as well as above 100MPH, with Mr. Dua's instruction and meeting his requirements I was lucky enough to walk out of that courtroom with no jail time.

I was on my way to work, traveling from Fairfax county into Loudoun County when I passed a stopped school bus on a Fairfax County road. A few days later, I began to receive numerous ads through the mail, marketing the legal services of dozens of different attorneys. Trying to choose the right lawyer,... in addition to having a criminal charge hang over my head, gave me a great deal of stress. It was with tremendous relief then, that when I made the choice to call Raj Dua's law firm for an initial consultation, Mr. Dua wasted no time to speak with me personally to gain a thorough understanding of my case, how best to handle it, and how to gain the most favorable ruling. He is polite, professional, amiable, and helped me navigate the realm of criminal/traffic law with ease. I was particularly thankful for how easy it was to contact him after retaining his services. On the date of my court appearance, through his devoted efforts on my behalf, he superseded the expected result and was able to get my criminal reckless driving charge reduced to a traffic violation, which carried no other penalty besides a simple fine. Mr. Raj Dua is certainly not the only criminal defense/traffic attorney practicing in Northern Virginia, but his services ARE of the highest caliber, AND at an affordable price to boot. I cannot praise Mr. Dua's legal services (from the initial consultation to the end of my court appearance) highly enough.
