Highly recommended

We had an excellent experience working with Ryan Fitzgerald on a reckless driving case. We were driving through Virginia on our way to Florida, and the situation quickly turned into a nightmare — our windshield was cracked after being hit by a rock, and our navigation system kept rerouting us due to ...road closures. We were lost, frustrated, and stressed, and in that moment we didn’t realize our speed had increased. We were stopped by a patrol officer and received two tickets. Ryan guided us through everything with patience and professionalism. From our first conversation, he made us feel supported and informed. He explained each step clearly and made sure we understood all of our options. He also recommended important steps to prepare for the hearing, which made a significant difference. His team was incredibly responsive — anytime we had a question, they replied quickly and clearly. We truly appreciate their dedication and support. If you need help with a reckless driving situation or any other traffic-related issue during your travels through Virginia, don’t hesitate — call Ryan. Highly recommended!

If You’re a Young Driver Facing Reckless Driving Charges, Trust the Expert—Fitz Got it Dismissed!

As a young driver with a completely clean record, being charged with reckless driving as my first traffic offense was overwhelming and deeply unsettling. Fitz was empathetic, clear, and incredibly supportive from start to finish. I felt confident in his hands, and he had my back through the enti...re process. He took the time to walk me through each step, answered my (many) questions with honesty and clarity, and ultimately achieved the best outcome: a FULL DISMISSAL of my case! His support and expertise gave me the peace of mind I didn’t think was possible in a situation like this. Hiring a lawyer wasn’t something I ever imagined needing to do—and honestly, wasn’t something I wanted to do at all. But choosing Fitz was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m deeply grateful—not just for the outcome, but for the guidance and clarity he provided during a moment that could have had serious consequences for my future. His support made all the difference. If you need someone who truly understands the system and genuinely cares about their clients, Fitz is exactly who you want on your side. I hope I never need legal help again—but if I do, he’ll be my first call.

Fantastic Lawyer

Fitz was absolutely fantastic, I hired him over other lawyers because he talked to me like a person rather than a client. He's very easy to talk to and the rest of his team is no different. He worked out me to explain the realistic scenario of my ticket, I went in to the courtroom with a reckless dri...ving ticket over 100 mph and Fitz was able to work out a miracle deal that kept me out of jail. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with a reckless driving ticket.
