John Matthew Weiland

Weiland did an outstanding job. What you pay a lawyer for is their connections in the court, ability to make quick judgements, and their knowledge of the law and John hit all 3 points with 5 stars. Henrico is a hard court and on top of that my record wasn’t clean as far as speeding. Originally I was ...in a courtroom with a judge that while kind, would probably not have reduced my speeding out of misdeameanor due to the amount of 45 mph over. However he was able to use his quick thinking and knowledge of the court to allow me to switch courtrooms and in front of a judge that MAY have been a bit more lenient. He was very upfront with me about the potential outcome of the case and what I was facing- but I wholeheartedlyuu believe that with another lawyer in the same situation I would’ve ended up with a misdemeanor for speeding. This speaks to John as an individual on top of his expertise in his field. Now as a client- you do have to do your part as well -and I think that is what helped because all John had to do was worry about the court because I did everything that was asked prior and it was a long list of things. However those same things were the reason the Judge said “this is a very excessive speed but the amount of things you did to mediate is why I’ll reduce it to 15” (not exactly verbatim but the same message.) My driving record had a previous speeding ticket, and 3 accidents. I think that everything was worth the price and I will hopefully never have to use his services again. But if i needed another lawyer I would use him again.

Mr Weiland was EXCELLENT. From the first meeting he gave us specific instructions regarding the various steps to take to build an arsenal of positives to present to the judge before arraignment. Although primarily a circuit court defense attorney, he took our case and was great in dealing with the ...juvenile court prosecutor, judge and bailiffs. So supportive both professionally and emotionally for my son. We did as directed and thankfully the end result TODAY was CASE DISMISSED!!! Thank you, John!

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 j...ust 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.
