Professional, knowledgeable, friendly. Handled my speeding aggressive driving traffic case and I got the charge dismissed - best possible outcome. He was always easily available over the phone. I would hire again and recommend to others. Thanks Matt!
Called Matt a day before my court date. Got a speeding ticket with not a "perfect" driving record. Matt did not promise miracles but indicated that he may be able to either dismiss, reduce or dismiss with driving school. The charges got dismissed (subject to completing driving school and court fees). Very happy with outcome.

Matt and Charles were very helpful in my ticket I got. They got the results I was looking for. I would recommend them 100 percent. Being from NC I was nervous about getting a lawyer but I would use Pinsker Law again.

Amazing traffic court Lawyer
I have used him for traffic court in multiple instances, at least 3 different times. He’s always super helpful and definitely is a great lawyer to have. I’ve always had better outcomes with him. He is very personable and is very easy and reliable to get in touch with. I’ve never had an issue communicating with him. He is very known around Richmond in court this week personally the judge knew him when he was first starting out so he is a Richmond local! (Assuming) I hired him last minute for my court case this week. He was able to make it, get the charge dropped down, and all do that with only a few days notice. He’s truly a great guy! 10/10 best lawyer in Richmond

Highly Recommend
Attorney Pinsker did a great job representing my son who received two speeding tickets within a 30 day time frame. Was able to get both changed to "non-moving violation" offenses which don't carry points. He was very responsive and professional.

Great Attorney
Found Mr Pinsker through a website called Off The Record. He contacted my not long after me submitting my info to website. He consulted with me for about 20-30 minutes getting the details of what happened. I had gotten a speeding ticket from an unmarked police car that had paced me going over 20mph over the speed limit on a bridge crossing jurisdictions. The ticket was written as a speeding ticket even though the cop could have written it as a wreckless driving. Mr Pinsker was confident that with the circumstances he could get it reduced or dropped and I'm happy to say he got it dismissed. Very professional and easy to talk to attorney.

Defense for me
I was on my way home the day after Thanksgiving last year and wrecked my car on I-64, taking out about 50' of guardrail. To say I was scared was an understatement. I was not hurt but I was alone and that in itself is daunting. The next 24 hrs were a blur but I finally made it back home to Cincinnati the next day. I know I needed an attorney and I relied on the internet. I was very fortunate and found Matt. I did make one call to an attorney that was a joke...a rip-off. Matt was my 2nd call and I knew I struck gold. Not only was he nice and pleasant to talk to, he helped me through this nightmare and did it fairly. Matt Pinsker was truly professional, thorough and my shining star. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone.

Reckless Driving
I was given a reckless driving ticket in March 2020 while traveling through Mecklenburg County, Virginia. Given the unique situation of the pandemic, I was not able to travel back to VA to appear in court.
I contacted Matt Pinsker of Pinsker Law. I am so grateful for Matt representing me and being an advocate during this most difficult time.
I want thank Matt for his help and I am happy with the outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Pinsker Law to anyone in need of a sound lawyer.

Traffic ticket
Mr. Pinsker was hired to handle a traffic ticket incident for me. I didn’t have to appear in court which meant no time loss from work. He handled the case very well and I am thankful to Mr. Pinsker for representing my interests. He also calmed my fears of what the outcome would be.
Thank you Mr. Pinsker

DUI to Improper Driving
Super intelligent and up to date with infraction code and descriptions. Very passionate for finding abnormalities or technicalities that could pose for an opponents weak defense. Couldn’t have had a better outcome.

Great Lawyer
Made the process easy and painless, gave him the case and he took it from there. Continually kept me updated during the process even during the quarantine. Brought down the impact of the charges significantly (reckless driving -> non-moving violation) so I won't have points added onto my license as well as getting other charges dropped.
Overall, a great experience, would recommend this lawyer to anyone.
