Jeff Early review

I was referred by a friend to contact Jeff Early regarding a traffic violation I received in Madison, VA. I am from Maryland and was planning on just paying the fine, which would have resulted in 3 points on my record in MD. After talking to Mr. Early, I hired him to represent me in court. He explain...ed that if my driving record was clean for a certain amount of time, and I took a driving course online, I could get off with no points. Also, he could represent me without me being there in person for court. Fortunately, my record was clean for the time required by the court and the court did exactly what my lawyer said would happen. I took an online improved driving course and the judge let me off with no points. His fee was reasonable and I would highly recommend Jeff Early for representation.

Posted by anonymous | May 25, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Mr. Jeff Early helped me reduce my reckless driving charge to speeding

My speed was 94/60 MPH in Madison county (a county notorious for being ruthless against speedsters). As an immigrant student, I was looking at some serious consequences like deportation/expulsion from school if convicted with or without jail time. I spoke to several lawyers before hiring Mr. Early. H...e was the only one who cared about my immigration consequences and tried to reduce the charge to speeding. He worked it out with me to present strong evidences/immigration consequences to the judge. More importantly, he pulled a lot of strings so that the judge finds enough time to read my case. I bet only Mr. Early could do that in the Madison county court. Mr. Early made excellent statements and convinced the judge to reduce my charge to a speeding ticket. He literally saved my career. I highly recommend Mr. Early. He is one of the very few lawyers who truly cares about the clients.

I highly recommend Attorney Jeff Early

Mr. Early worked with me on a serious traffic incident that I had in Greene County. If convicted, it could have been devastating by causing me to lose my job. Mr. Early not only had the ticket reduced, but he had the charge completely dismissed. He is well known to the police officers and court staff..., which makes a great impact on your outcome in court. I highly recommend him. He stayed in contact me throughout the court process, and quelled my fears. I cannot say enough about his calm, pleasant and professional demeanor during a very serious and fearful time in my life.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have referred cases to Jeff for 25 plus years without a concern that our client would not have the best representation possible. He is the "go to" guy for matters on the 29 corridor from Culpeper County to Charlottesville to for years. I have also referred my wife's family members to Jeff as well; I cannot think of a higher degree of trust."
