Mr. Weiland excellent attorney

I was 100% pleased with Mr. Weiland's legal representation. I spoke initially with his law partner by phone who was attentive to my needs and concerns and gave honest feedback about my legal situation and regarding what to expect financially. (I also felt his fee was reasonable.) The process was q...uick and easy to hire his services. He laid out a clear plan regarding what they would do. When Mr. Weiland ultimately became the partner to represent me (my daughter) in court, he met with us before the hearing. He was clearly well prepared and explained his plan and gave ample opportunity for my daughter and I to add information and ask questions. He was couteous and professional and helped to alleviate our concerns. His representation ultimately led to a full dismissal of the charges. We could not have been more pleased with every step of the process. I highly recommend Mr. Weiland for anyone in need of his type of legal assistance.

John Weiland

John has been excellent. From the first time I talked to him(Being in this highly worrying predicament as a 1st time law breaker!!) I felt at ease. There were definitely times when i felt he could have responded to my queries faster but he was always spot on with his replies and highly reassuring. I ...would highly recommend him to potential clients.

An Excellent Result!

I was pulled over on I-64 for doing 92 in a 70 MPH zone and was charged with reckless driving by speed. I am an out of state driver and was unaware of VA's harsh traffic laws. After reading horror stories online about people who were convicted of reckless driving (a class 1 misdemeanor in VA) I real...ized that I needed a solid lawyer to represent me. I did some research and called John Weiland a few days after I was charged. I felt much more at ease with just the initial consultation. I supplied John with my driving record (which was clean) and a summary of my military career, as well as a detailed statement of what happened the night I was pulled over. During the two months between the night I was charged and the court date, John was very responsive all of my questions, and assured me of his confidence that we would get a positive result at trial. True to his word, I called John's office after the trial (I was not required to attend since I was out of state) and he told me that he got the charge reduce to improper driving, which is a simple traffic violation and not a crime. I highly recommend John Weiland. He is a true professional, and he will do all he can to get you a positive result.

Great rapport and excellent results!

I had a really good experience working with John Weiland for my reckless driving ticket. He kept me informed of VA state law and the court process and provided me with great counsel. I felt instantly comfortable with him and I am so glad he represented me and got me a great result!

Excellent Lawyer – Best described as a Silent Professional with terrific results

I strongly recommend Attorney John Weiland to those seeking assistance within the areas that John practices: Criminal Defense, DUI/DWI, Personal Injury and Speeding and Traffic Tickets. On Christmas Day, I was cited for Reckless by Speed, 87/70 in Hanover County by a State Trooper. After furt...her research of the ticket, Virginia laws and the possible penalties, it was recommended by my son-in-law who is an attorney that I obtain an attorney to represent me in court. My son-in-law conducted some quick research and spoke with the law office of Caddell Weiland Attorneys at Law, and recommended that I speak with them to represent me in Court. I called the office and left a message, and Mr. Weiland returned my call promptly. After giving him the details of the incident…he quickly recognized the State Trooper and the Judge that would be presiding over this matter. John was very attentive…and quickly laid out a strategy for first reducing the ticket and then later having the ticket reduced. John also discussed what was needed from me, in which I secured and scanned to him by email. I did not have to attend court, as John handled everything and he was able to obtain terrific results. The misdemeanor charge was dismissed upon successful completion of driving school. I would use him again if needed, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone involved in traffic court. He is that good!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
