Mark Anderson

I had some unfortunate events that took place in March that caused me some trouble with the Greene county police department. After consulting with several well known attorneys in Charlottesville things were not looking to good. They all felt like there was little they could do to keep me from serving... some jail time and they would be looking for the best deal they could get. A family friend suggested reaching out to Mark Anderson a Richmond based lawyer who will travel and does work all over central Virginia. After meeting with Mark he told me that he would do all he can to get me the best possible outcome and never mintioned taking a deal. He seemed to have more of fighting attitude then just lookin for a quick plea deal. Hiring Mr. Anderson turned out to be the best decision I could have made. On our court date the attorney I was considering going with had several cases the same day. Every case he had they had a plea deal already set and he seemed to find the easiest way for him and did not seem to fight for the best outcome for his clients. Seeing first hand how Mr. Anderson faught for me and refused a plea deal that was originally offered to us because he felt like he could get a better outcome was very satisfying. There is no doubt in my mind the other attorney would have jumped on that deal and then go on to tell me how lucky I was that he helped me. Mark Anderson is rare type of attorney who does not look for the fast easy way he will put in the time and effort it takes to get the absolute best outcome he can. I could not have been more satisfied with the representation I received from Mark Anderson!

Reckless driving ticket

Marc was exceptional guiding me through the process of my reckless driving ticket in a school zone, he got my reckless driving down to improper driving and reduced my fine infinitely! I am so happy and impressed with his work that I will be referring him to anyone I know that needs a lawyer.

Excellent Defense Attorney!!!!!!!!!!!!

I retained Marc to represent me on a Reckless Driving ticket I received for speeding past a loaded school bus on double solid yellow lines. My driving record was not perfect and I was very worried about my court date, losing my license, and going to jail. Marc answered all my questions and reassure...d me throughout the process that my court date would be ok and I would neither lose my license nor go to jail. He was right and did a great job at court!!!. I was very happy about the outcome and highly recommend Marc to anyone that needs an excellent defense attorney!!!

Reckless driving violation down to defective equipment

I have known Marc from previous legal advice (he helped my son to get out of trouble during his first year of College for underage drinking, with great results). In this opportunity, he helped me to have a Reckless Driving charge to a Defective Equipment one. No one wants to have her driving record t...ainted with a RD! Marc is the type of lawyer you can rely on

Quality Representation

Marc Anderson recently represented me in a traffic case in New Kent County, Virginia. I selected him because of his previous experience in, and the excellent relationship he has maintained with, that court. Marc took the time to go over all the information I provided and then offered multiple cours...es of actions and their probable outcomes and left the final selection to me. Once I told him my choice, he proved to be a superior advocate for that position. Marc made himself available for any other questions as they arose. The final outcome in court exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to hire Marc again should the need arise!
