reckless driving

I was charged with reckless driving by speed (70 in a 45). I knew there was no hope of getting it completely dropped, but I hired Mr. Long to try and get it reduced to speeding to ease the blow on my insurance premium. Mr. Long worked with the judge and achieved exactly what I was looking for.

David Long - Experienced Reckless Driving Lawyer

Was an out of state driver when I received a reckless driving ticket for doing 87 mph in a 70 mph zone. Once I discovered my incident was an actual misdemeanor offense I immediately contacted several lawyers since I was not from the Virginia area. After speaking with David Long, I automatically hired... him as my lawyer. David was extremely knowledgeable and informative about the driving laws in Virginia and clearly explained what to expect with the outcome of my case. Most importantly David always picked up my phone calls and always made time to answer my questions when needed. As a result of my case, David removed the misdemeanor offense from my record and lowered my speeding offense. If you have a similar situation as mine, I highly recommend having David represent you (especially if you are out of state) as this is a very serious offense in the state of Virginia which requires someone who is very experienced with reckless driving laws.

Satisfied Client!

Attorney Long assisted me in a reckless driving case. He kept me informed throughout the entire process: what steps I needed to take, what I should expect from the judge, the outcome of the case, etc. I was extremely pleased with his services and would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

Excellent and Efficient

After explaining my situation to Mr. Long, he reassured me that he would be willing to take my case. It was a bit of a tricky situation regarding my driving record and the judge in court on the day of the trial. Mr. Long only required a copy of my driving record and a brief summary of myself. When th...e day of court came, Mr. Long shook my hand and went to work very quickly. He immediately spoke with the State Trooper who wrote me my citations and was able to drop one of my charges right there before we ever reached the stand. By the time my name was called for trial, Mr. Long gave me the confidence that I was going to be okay. Thanks to the judge having a good day, my other charge was reduced to a minor violation and I walked out of there with a only small fine. Overall David Long is a great lawyer and very efficient and professional.

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.
