Traffic Infraction Handled with Care

Mr. Long was very helpful throughout the entire process, despite numerous setbacks and extensions. He was always quick to communicate with me and had a complete knowledge of every aspect of the process. Highly recommended.

Traffic Citation - Emporia VA

I called Mr. Long after I was cited for speeding. An out of state'r, I had no idea the consequences of being cited for 82 in a 70, which included the non-stated additional charge of reckless driving. I was lost, and had never been cited for speeding. I called several attorneys; Mr. Long called me b...ack. He listened to my issue, gave me all the information I needed, and was quite professional, not to mention, kind. He offered quite a reasonable fee, and represented me without my ever having to return to court and assisted me at every step of the way. Case closed, to my satisfaction. I highly recommend him, cannot say enough good things about him and, yes, I am a real person.

disappointing experience

I hired David based on all the outstanding reviews on here. My experience was quite different than what the reviews portray. Though David was nice and informative upon us first speaking, once I had hired him he became much less responsive and helpful. He failed to notify me when my case had been cont...inued, and on the day of my case he never contacted me to let me know what had happened. So I had to reach out to him, and when I did he was abrupt and made light of the situation, which I thought was inappropriate. The outcome was worse than the worst-case-scenario he had described during our initial consultation. He had told me what my fine could be, so I expected it but hoped he could do better. He couldn't. On top of that I had to take a 12 hour reckless driving course (in addition to the 8 hour course I'd already taken) and do an absurd amount of community service. Those possibilities were never mentioned to me, so I was really shocked and upset. When I expressed my disappointment in the outcome, he played it off like it was a good outcome, saying he "thought the judge was going to convict me of reckless driving." --- what?! If he had no confidence in his ability to even help me, why did he take my case...? If you have a reckless driving charge with a higher speed like I did, I think you can do much, much better than David and I highly recommend you find someone else.

I am truly sorry that you had a bad experience. I pride myself on my communication skills, and I'm disappointed that I let you down in that respect. Although I'm pleased that I was able to get the high speed reckless driving charge reduced to a noncriminal citation, I can understand your frustration in having to take an additional driving course and perform community service hours. Please contact me if you would like to discuss how I could have served you better. Sincerely, David Long
