Beyond Superior Results....

I am beyond Grateful for the personal support and professional results Mr. Jason Y. Joyner provided through my unforeseen traffic situation. Being from out of state I was highly impressed with the time he graciously gave by listening and explaining the process of my case. I felt a sense of honesty an...d integrity in our conversation therefore I moved forward in good faith. The end results of my case were beyond Superior. His Leadership and Invaluable Insight clearly redefined "Integrity" in today's government system. It is with much respect I state Mr. Joyner is a Trusted Friend!

91/70 Wreckless Driving

I got a ticket while travelling back home to SC. I also have a government DoD Secret Clearance that I specifically asked is not impacted. Mr. Joyner was very professional, gave me my worst case scenario in addition to me beating the odds, and was very straight to it in terms of what services he can p...rovide to me. His prices are not only competitive, but also well worth it. My court date is set for April, thus far I look forward to providing feedback of my outcome. Thanks Mr. Joyner!

Gets the job done in technical reckless

I cannot say enough good things about Jason Joyner! My daughter got a speeding ticket in VA going 81 in a 70. She didn't even know that it was technical reckless so she paid the ticket which admits guilt not even knowing that she had a reckless driving misdemeanor. Then we started getting all of the... notices from lawyers about reckless driving and speeding in VA. Most of the notices were scare tactics (and I will say we were scared). But Jason's letter was professional and informative giving me exactly the information I needed to know which was that we could do something even though she paid the ticket. His fee was completely reasonable. He represented my daughter in court and got the charge reduced to speeding BUT he wasn't satisfied with that because the speeding would still result in points on her licence.. So for NO EXTRA CHARGE, he appealed for her and got the charges completely dropped!!! He's professional, knowledgeable, fair, followed up. I highly recommend!!!

Great Experience

While driving through Virginia, I was pulled over for speeding. I didn't think that I was going as fast as they stated, but I'm sure I was speeding. I live in the Northeast and when I arrived home a couple of weeks later I had over 15 different letters from attorneys. The letter from Jason Y. Joyner ...was by far the most professional one and immediately caught my attention. His prices were well defined and very competitive with the other offers I received. Of course I then got involved with work and being home and completely forgot about the ticket until a week before the court date. I spoke with Mr. Joyner who was able to talk me through what I needed to do for him and he was able to appear in court on my behalf. He was able to get my charges reduced and not impact my insurance. I got a response from him less than 48 hours from my court date with the outcome and the directions on how to proceed with paying my fine. Mr. Joyner was very professional and easy to work with. Hopefully neither I nor my friends/family will have any violations in Virginia again but if we do, I would not hesitate to work with Mr. Joyner again.

Professional and Approachable

I got a speeding ticket for 84 which is a big deal anywhere, especially VA. I had never gone to traffic court. I hired the firm of Christina Pendleton to represent me. The staff there always answered communication, they did things proactively to help my case go before the right Judge. I was assig...ned Jason Yarbrough. It was important to me to review my case prior to appearing. He made sure we had time to discuss the case when he arrived at Court. He had clearly already acquainted himself with my case, but still listened to my account and thoughts. He had an idea that things would go well, but if they didn't he already had thought about contingencies, and explained everything to me.. Jason was professional, knowledgeable and approachable. My case went very well, because of Jason, the right Judge and a kind Officer. I am really glad I hired Pendleton Law Firm, and that Jason Yarbrough was my attorney, he did a great job!!
