Highly Recommend John Weiland
Mr. John Weiland was a great attorney, he did his job and did it well!! I was pulled over and charged with reckless driving.

Great legal help
John did an excellent job, it was a very turn key operation on my end. Faxed him some paperwork and he took care of it all from two states away. Turned a first time 82mph reckless driving on the interstate into a dismissed case. I would definitely call him again if I needed legal help in Virginia.
