John Matthew Weiland

I had a reckless driving case in Henrico County that was 99% guaranteed to get me at least one day of jail time: 106 mph in a 65. Mr. Weiland did not sugar coat it, but told me what to do before my court date to give me the best shot. I logged over 100 service hours, got my speedometer checked and calibrated, and had my employer write a character letter. Henrico County is known for being hard line on speeding and anything over 100mph is considered automatic jail time. When my court date came, thankfully we had a judge that was sympathetic enough to my case (explaining since I was military I was facing disciplinary action on my end as well), I ended up having my charges lowered to "improper driving" with a $500 fine, with no criminal record. Mr. Weiland was amazing. He's also former military so he's familiar with those situations as well.

John was absolutely amazing', He worked a miracle in my eyes. ! He wasn't expensive at all. I was out of state , Did not have to appear in court .. I followed all his instructions on what to do prior to court. He got my reckless driving charges dropped 90 in a 55.. I can't thank him enough He definitely was a blessing Thank You John So much. !!

Mr. Weiland told me exactly what I should do to prepare for my reckless (92/70) court date. In the court room, he talked to the police officer who pulled me over, and told me exactly how he was going to approach the case when speaking to the judge. My reckless charge, which is a criminal misdemeanor, got reduced to a small fine. Excellent results!

He had a great plan and got my 91/55 dismissed. He was super professional and walked me through everything. 10/10 would recommend him.

John can defend any case, even if you have any prior tickets on your record. He defended my 94/65 RD case exceptionally. I was looking at jail time, Criminal conviction, and thousands to go down the drain in insurance. John saved me from all that and got it reduced to improper driving even though I just got a speeding ticket last month. Best Lawyer in VA!

Mr. Weiland made me feel very confident in his ability to get me a favorable outcome. I originally found him on AVVO.com and his reviews were more than favorable. There were some reviews that made me question the clients sanity, but Mr. Weiland gave them more than a reasonable outcome on their cases. Additionally, I’ve spoke to several lawyers before talking with Mr. Weiland and they all basically told me that they did not want to being my case to an Appeal and then charge me a ungodly amount of money. In the same light, some did not even want to try to help me because they did not like dealing with the Judge in Mecklenburg County, too strict they said, but not Mr. Weiland. He took my case with eagerness and confidence that he could give me a realistic outcome that would accomplish what I wanted. For my personal situation, I did not want a Class I Misdemeanor on my record for reckless driving because I work for the Government. Moreover, after receiving the ticket, I immediately researched how to combat my case and that was when I found out Virginia awards Reckless Driving charges for anyone speeding above 80 mph or 30mph over the posted speed limit. Additionally, I found out that attending a Defensive Driving class and volunteering for community service for a Non-profit organization could help me out, all of which Mr. Weiland suggested too when I finally talked with him, but I already had everything aligned before hand. Furthermore, I ended up completing and enjoying the 8 hour Defensive Driving Class and volunteering 106 hours for the Salvation Army, I know they miss me because I was working like I was getting paid. To look into further, I personally sorted, reorganized, categorized, and cleaned every corner of their facility, as well as professionally revitalized their landscaping without hesitation within several of their facilities. On another note, I would not hesitate on hiring Mr. Weiland again for any legal matter within Virginia and I highly recommend his services to anyone needing professional legal help. I thank Mr. Weiland and his team for helping me so much and to be able to rest easy.

I had an accident that almost cost me everything, my husband and I hired Mr. Weiland to handle the charges. This is one of the most complicated charges in traffic cases. There was a misunderstanding of the whole situation and I got caught into an unlucky situation. Mr.John M. Weiland is one the best attorney, extremely knowledgeable and skillful attorney. He is cool and professional always explains every detail every step. A very kind person and the way he handled the cases are excellent. He went the extra distance to get the best possible results for me.He is extremely attentive to the case needs and produces the results that I wanted. His extreme dedication, passion, diligence, responsiveness, and communication puts him in an elite group of attorneys in the country for any traffic charges mainly the complicated ones. Mr.Weiland is not only an excellent lawyer, but a great person. I would highly recommend him for any legal issue and again I highly recommend him without hesitation… I was happy when my case was finally settled. Without a doubt he is always our first choice and I tell anyone that I know who needs a great attorney to hit him up. Mr.Weiland Rocks!!!!

I originally had Samantha assigned to my case but due to an unforeseen circumstance John took over my case at the last minute. He was extremely professional and really fought for me to get the best possible outcome. The entire time we were in court he was talking to the trooper, prosecutor or me. While all the other attorneys were sitting still, John was fighting for me, trying to convince the very stubborn police officer and prosecutor that I deserved better than what they were trying to give me. For the speed I was going, I really deserved a license suspension and 10 days in jail and up to a $2500 fine. He was able to get me no license suspension and no real jail time with only a $500 fine. I would highly recommend him and I hope I'll never need an attorney again but if I am ever in need of an attorney, he will be my first call.

John used my first offender status and suggested I put myself through proactive probation where I would complete 100 hours of community service and drug test myself once a month until my court date. My charge was dismissed and I am very pleased with Mr Weiland's plan.

John Weiland is the best in his field! John gave expert legal advise. He took the time to explain everything to me thoroughly and answered any questions that I had. He is very straightforward and honest. If anyone I know ever needs a lawyer, John is my first choice for recommendation.
