Outstanding Results

I was charged with Misdemeanor Reckless Driving via speed, which is a very serious charge in VA. Ms. Ayers was able to get the charge reduced and I ended up with a minor fine. She was very honest and forthright during the process and obtained a result much better than I had hoped for. I would hi...ghly recommend her and would definitely hire her again.
