Helped Me in Traffic Court

Bill Hicks helped me with a Reckless Driving charge that could've really screwed up my year. I was only only 2 mph away from getting some assured jail time, and the the odds were not stacked in my favor. Bill still somehow worked up a good case and got the charge reduced to speeding meaning I got to ...hold on to my licence and only had to pay $250. Very well-mannered and competent all around.

work out free

I was charged for DUI and improper stopping. He recommended me to get reckless, I felt ok with that but the prosecutor didn't accept the agreement. So we went to trial and win the case, I just got the traffic ticket for improper stopping, the DUI is dismiss. Thank Mr Hicks a lot, he is really really ...nice to me.

Couldn't have a better attorney. Thank you.

Mr. Bill Hicks is the epitome of professionalism, experience, and kindness, all of which are immediately evident upon meeting him. I was recommended to him by a friend, but upon our first meeting, I could tell that Mr. Hicks genuinely cared about my case and wellbeing. I was facing a Driving on S...uspended License charge, for which I was expecting a short jail sentence. Mr. Hicks, through his decades-long career and garnered experience was able to not only keep me out of jail, but also provided around-the-clock updates on my situation, highlighting his commitment to my case. Overall, I would rate Mr. Hick’s service to me as perfect. If you are looking for an attorney who will give you 100 percent of his effort, while also bringing with him a wealth of experience and genuine concern for your well-being, Mr. Hicks is your best choice. My case was in Arlington, but I have no doubt that he can provide the same results in any jurisdiction or county. Also, Mr. Hicks' assistance, Mary, is extremely helpful. So if Mr. Hicks is in court or unavailable, Mary will have answers to all of your questions.

Bill Hicks is AMAZING!

Bill hicks is an outstanding lawyer! i strongly recommend him! i have used his services twice now and he surpassed my expectations! my first ticket was a reckless and he got it reduced not only to speeding but to a 15 over! that is unheard of, in fairfax county that is impossible! my second ticket wa...s disregarding a light and he got it reduced to failure to pay full time attention which has no points! he was absolutely unbelievable! i give him 10 stars! you will not find a better lawyer in all of Virginia!

Best lawyer ever!!!!

I was facing serious time and Mr. Hicks got my charges dropped to misdemeanors. I didn't have to spend one day in jail. All my other cases for driving on suspended were dismissed in trial or nolo processed. He's what I would like to call a bull dog. He knows his stuff and his primary purpos...e is to set us free. Hire him if you want to be free.

"Bill Hicks knows criminal law. I know he does because I know criminal law and we worked together as partners in a law firm. He is not afraid to try a case most lawyers would plead out. Any criminal case that I could not accept for whatever reason, such as scheduling conflicts etc, Bill gets my referral out. For peers who compete for the same business it is difficult for us to endorse each other. Still, I have no reservations standing up for Bill Hicks."
