Did a Wonderful Job on My Reckless Case

Mr. Leavitt was very helpful throughout the whole process and answered very quick as well. He was able to reduce my 96/70 ticket to just an improper driving charge. This meant it was no longer a misdemeanor and I would just need to pay a fine much smaller than the one I would’ve if it was a reckless ...charge. Also I live about 3 1/2 hours away from where I had got the ticket, and he was able appear in court for me and my presence was not needed! I highly recommend hiring Mr. Leavitt.

Dismissed from NY!

I was on my way home to New York from North Carolina after visiting my son. I got stopped in Dinwiddie, VA, doing 84 in a 70. Leavitt & Martin took my case, shared with me ways in which I could tilt the wind in my direction, responded quickly to all my emails, and ultimately got the charge dismissed.... Their fee was reasonable and I was very pleased with the result. Many lawyers solicited me through the mail, but I would strongly recommend using Leavitt & Martin.

Case dismissed! Hire him!

Daniel is very knowledgeable and seems very experienced so I attained him as my attorney after having talked to several firms, one of which (at another location) actually recommended him. The reviews don't lie! I got a reckless by speed going 83/70 on I-85. Same as most, I didn't realize how serious ...it was until I did some research. I called and asked him what he could do and what I should expect as the outcome, etc. He answered all my questions in a timely manner, recommended things to do before court date. I did them all, and here I am writing good things about him because, as of yesterday, he got my case completely dismissed with only a court fee. Hire him! He's good!

BEST attorney in Virginia!!!

Attorney Daniel Leavitt is hands down the best attorney I was able to find in or near the Emporia, Virginia area!! I received a reckless driving ticket (exceeding 80mph on the highway) while passing through Virginia headed back to see some family for the holidays. After returning home I found out the... possible punishments and repercussions that a reckless driving charge held in Virginia. Knowing I would not be able to return to Virginia for court in five weeks, I conducted some very thorough research into who I thought would be the best attorney in that area. This led me to Daniel Leavitt. Once I found and immediately began speaking to Mr. Leavitt I was extremely impressed and I obtained his legal counsel. From that point on and straight through until the DISMISSAL, yes DISMISSAL of my case and his follow up phone call and email notification afterwards; Mr. Leavitt handled everything for me making my part of the case very simple for me. He was nothing but professional, prompt, precise and accurate throughout my entire case. I recall even emailing him late one night (approximately 1:00a.m.) to provide him some information and also ask him a few questions, not expecting an answer back until at least later that next business day and much to my surprise, he replied back to my email within about 10 minutes. I was shocked!! Lastly, I’d say through my research, his asking prices were average, though for the service he provided and for getting my case dismissed, THAT is PRICELESS!! I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney!! Thank you (and your legal team) again Daniel Leavitt!! A DEFINITE 5 STARS!!!!!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 18

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
