Review Wilfred Ward Yeargan III

One of Virginia's Best Lawyers

Mr. Yeargan represented me in my Virgina traffic infraction case. His dedication, knowledge of the law and positive attitude made me feel at ease in court. The trust and confidence he instilled in me was due in large part by his motivation to not give up and the way he seemed personally involved in my case. As if he were defending his best friend. I would very strongly recommend Mr. Yeargan.

I created a mess for myself. I ccouldn't have asked for a better lawyer. He was there every step of the way. He made sure he answered all my questions. He wasn't going to be able to make it to my last court due to some schedule mixup due to the courts so I told him I felt uneasy going on my own, I was terrified. He bent backwards to be there that morning for me. I'm so grateful.

I was very impressed with Mr. Yeargan. I was facing a reckless driving ticket, and I called many lawyers. They all made about the same suggestions (take a defensive driving class, do some community service, collect references). What made me choose Mr. Yeargan is that he sounded like he knew what he was talking about, but didn't seem pushy. His southern demeanor was refreshing. I asked a lot of questions (a whole lot), but he was patient with me and explained the whole process. At our first court date, he suggested a continuance because his knowledge of the cast of characters led him to believe that we wouldn't get the desired outcome. This made me trust him even more. Since he was being paid a flat rate, if he didn't care, he could have just pushed the case through and gotten it over with instead of having to show up again six weeks later. In the end the case was reduced to speeding. I got points and a fine, but I dodged a license suspension, jail time and especially a criminal record. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Yeargan was an excellent lawyer. My charge was a felony and it was a big one, involving jail time, but he was able to reduce it to a misdemeanor with no jail time. I talked to numerous lawyers before him and they said it would be nearly impossible to reduce it from a felony and even more impossible to get no jail time. But Mr. Yeargan was the only one who was able to fight it and was willing to do the best for me. He was a very easy person to talk to and explained everything clearly. He was very helpful not just as an attorney but also as a counselor. I would highly recommend him.

My lawyer made the experience of a misdemeanor for a traffic accident easy to resolve. He kept me involved throughout process, advised prior to hearing on multiple ways to present my case favorably, and performed all negotiations on my behalf. Would recommend this lawyer to anyone requiring legal assist in state of Virginia.
