Wonderful!
I live in North Carolina. I was traveling through Hopewell VA and got cited with a speeding/careless & reckless driving ticket.

Professional, Competent Lawyer
I endorse this lawyer, who represented me on a speed trap case in Virginia. The law is intentionally harsh in order to force drivers to plead to a lesser charge and pay attorneys and fines.

Traffic representation
Mr. Leavitt is a highly skilled attorney. I have used him for two different traffic cases with excellent results. No fine, no court costs once, no fine, court costs only the second time. Best of all no points on my driving record. Highly recommended.

"Daniel is professional and handles each individual case with the care it deserves. His work ethic yields outcomes."
"I endorse this lawyer, who represented me on a speed trap case in Virginia. The law is intentionally harsh in order to force drivers to plead to a lesser charge and pay attorneys and fines. Mr. Leavitt represented me ably, obtained a good result, and most importantly he responded almost instantly to my every communication and gave me very clear, concise instructions. I was very uneasy about not being in court personally, but he was most professional throughout and justified my trust in him, saving me the trip back to Virginia and the possible consequences of my anger about the law itself and the revenue-related method of enforcing it in that area."
"Daniel is an extremely capable and reputable attorney. I recommend him without reservation."
"Daniel has significant experience in traffic court. He is honest, hardworking, and fights for the best outcome for his clients. I endorse him without reservation."

"I chose "other" when I endorsed Attorney Daniel Leavitt because I went to Law School with him. I can tell you that this attorney is extremely intelligent and hard working. If you need an advocate in court that is well spoken, persuasive, and thinks well on his feet, this attorney is your best option."
