Speeding ticket

Fitz and his team was a pleasure to work with. Fitz instructed me immediately of what I should do to prepare for my case. He provided excellent guidance and advice. He followed through with the case and the reckless driving charge was dismissed! I would recommend Fitz in a heartbeat.

Thanks for Representing Me!

Ryan Fitzgerald did excellent job on my case (reckless driving, 23 mph over the speed limit, 68/45) I had not received a traffic citation in over 10 years and had a natural +5 on my license. Fitz instructed me right off the bat what I should do to prepare for the best outcome in my case; complete a...n on-line approved driver's course, get the speedometer calibrated, and complete a minimum of 15 hours community service prior to the court date. I also needed Fitz to personally represent me in court while I was out of the country. I did all that Fitz recommended and he was able to negotiate my infraction down to a "non-point" lesser offense with a minimal fine. No impact on my license. Thank you for representing me!

Completely Satisfied Client

I got a reckless driving ticket, I am not from VA and my driving record is very important for my job. From our first conversation he made me feel at ease about the financial portion of retaining him and my chances of solving my case. In addition the team in the office were also amazing and communicat...ive making sure I was updated with any changes or documents I needed to submit. On the court date everything went smoothly and all of that is behind me. thank you so much MRM

Best Lawyer in VA; Helped Me with 100+MPH Reckless Driving Misdemeanor Charge

I had the odds stacked against me--I have a fast car + I was driving in triple digit speed + I did this in the worst state to get a speeding ticket. It didn't help that I had a prior speeding ticket conviction within the past several years. All I can say is, thank God I crossed paths with Fitz becaus...e he was 1. reasonable in what he charged and the payment plan, 2. very knowledgeable about the counties he represents, 3. has insight into the prosecution side, and 4. provides you with the steps you need to fulfill to result in a good verdict. The reviews I read about Fitz and the firm he partners with gave me some level of confidence I made the right choice. Now that my case is over, I couldn't be more elated. Having a misdemeanor reckless driving speed charge, I expected a suspended license, fines, and worst of all, jail time. I've heard of cases of people getting a month in jail doing the same speed as me, or even less. Following Fitz's recommendations, I walked out the courtroom with a reduced charge. It was dropped from a misdemeanor, which would have ended up on my criminal record permanently, to a traffic violation which I paid right then and there. No suspended license and more importantly, no jail time. This has been a very heavy burden lifted. And I've learned my lesson. I highly recommend Fitz to anyone who needs legal representation. We all make mistakes and he is someone that will do his part to ensure you get the best result feasible for your case.

Great work! Reduced Reckless driving to Defective Equipment

I found Ryan online, and we really liked the website because it clearly explained all the options for Reckless Driving, and didn't frighten us as other attorney websites did. I had a quick consultation call with Ryan and decided to hire him. I provided all the needed documents and followed instructio...ns, and the charge was reduced from Reckless driving to Defective Equipment. And I didn't even go to court ( I live in a different state). Thank you for your amazing work
