Gets the job done

I, like many, fell victim to the notorious Dinwiddia, VA speed trap and Virginia's utterly absurd reckless driving law. My offense was 87 mph in a 70 mph zone. In Maryland I probably would not have even pulled over, but in Virginia, thus is reckless driving and a misdemeanor crime. After calling a... handful of attorneys in the Richmond area it was very clear David Long knew the system, the judges, and knew exactly how to handle my case. David even goes as far as asking for a biography so he can humanize his client to the judge and make the case that this offense is not in your character, but rather, a one time lapse in judgement. After speaking with David I paid his very reasonable fee (just as or more reasonable than other attirneys I spoke with), sent him my bio and driving record, and then sat back and waited for David to do his work. Like many others who have used David, I was informed that the judge had dismissed my case with the only requirement being I take a $35 online driving course. If you end up in a similiar situation, I urge you to contact David and let him do the work for you. Simply paying the fine for this ticket would have cost me thousands of dollars in fines and increased insurance premiums, but for just a few hundred dollars, David handled everything. And as far as my record shows, nothing ever happened. I genuinely recommend David Long for anyone fighting a serious traffic violation and am very grateful for the services he provided me.

Reckless Driving

I am a 20 year old college student and received a Reckless driving ticket for going 86/65. I got into contact with Mr. Long the Monday before my Trial, which was on Friday of that week. I got him all the things that he requested on Thursday morning. Those things being a short biography about myself, ...my driving record, and payment for his services. So, despite this short notice, Mr. Long acted professionally and took my case seriously. He ultimately had the case dropped, something I had not even thought possible. So I'd say it went extremely well for me, and I have Mr. Long to thank. Now, I do have a very good record prior to this incident as well as I took the RADEP class soon after receiving this ticket, so I did give him something to work with, but even with that in mind I am very grateful for his services and would hire him again if such an occurrence ever occurs again. (But I will be doing my darndest to prevent that!)

Absolutely thrilled with David Long's work

Mr. Long immediately put me at ease, he was the first lawyer I contacted and I immediately hired him. He told me the steps to take to give my case the best possible outcome. I did exactly what he told me and he represented me in court. He was able to get my ticket dismissed, I just had to pay court c...osts. I highly recommend him, and strongly suggest everyone hire a lawyer for any reckless driving charges in VA!

Reckless Driving/Speeding

I can't say enough positive things about David Avard Chipman Long Esq. for I was charged with Misdemeanor Reckless Driving, Speeding 91mph/70 mph . I was facing suspension of my North Carolina Home State License as well as a Criminal Misdemeanor Charge for Reckless Driving (employment). Mr. Long was ...attentive, thorough, and helpful throughout a very difficult time. I truly appreciated Mr. Long's straightforwardness, management of expectations, and willingness to answer my many "what-if" questions. Mr. Long stayed in contact throughout the weeks leading to court, provided very competent advice and represented me in court without requiring my appearance and produce wonderful results. No criminal charges, No suspension

Overall: excellent experience

Mr. Long is VERY quick to respond, fully answered any questions I had, clearly laid out the necessary steps and ultimately acheived the best possible outcome in my case. I am an out of state driver that was charged with reckless (81 in a 70mph). The whole process was painless- he handled everything h...e needed to and kept me in the loop. I cannot recommend him enough!
