DUI Dismissed. Not guilty

Raj has done an amazing job representing me on my DUI. Can’t thank him enough getting my case dismissed as I was scared as hell with the consequences I may have to face if I’m proved guilty. I couldn’t risk having a DUI considering the profession I’m in. I had a DUI with .08 and it was my first. I ha...ve had a good driving record and was afraid of what this could lead me to. After a lot of research and going through the reviews, I have decided to have Raj as my attorney as I’ve seen him representing a lot of DUIs in the NOVA/DC area and having them dismissed. DUI in Oct 2019, met Raj the same week and he explained on how he would proceed with my case. Very reasonable with the pricing as well. First court date in Dec 2019 where we took an extension with the video. Raj explained me the PROs and CONs of my case after looking at the video and also what would be the right approach (luckily I did have few pros which made it easier). Second (Final) court date in Feb 2019 and Raj was fully prepared and BANG my DUI dismissed. The judge, after looking at the video (only until my pull over. Didn’t even look at the later part of the video where I did the FST) said the police didn’t have enough evidence to pull me over and dismissed my case. Raj is very professional and his experience is definitely something that matters. He kept references of similar cases in front of the judge and argued on why my traffic stop was not right. If anyone ever gets a traffic violation, Raj is the guy. Cheers!!!

A lawyer that knows the law

i wanted a lawyer that would keep me from making mistakes during the process. Mr. Dua not only did that but he used his knowledge of the law and the court systems to get me a very pleasant result. I was very fortunate to have had him defending me. I highly recommend him if you are looking for an a...ttorney, he will not disappoint.

Recommend without reservation!

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.

Excellent Lawyer

Raj Dua did some work for my daughter and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Raj took the time to explain everything about the process and gave my daughter the peace of mind that he would do everything he could for her. Raj not only got her the best possible result, but did so with the upm...ost professional courtesy, integrity and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend Raj to anyone seeking professional help from an attorney.
