I had a traffic case that would be settled in a straightforward manner in other states. In Virginia, this meant having to go to court and litigating. As an out-of-state defendant with my own life to worry about, David managed the case with an appropriate level of concern. He wasn't alarmist like some... of the other attorney's I interviewed, but helped give a realistic picture about what a plea-bargain normally requires. He wasn't trying to make the case easy for him through my heavy-lifting, it seemed. He was knowledgeable about how cases normally went and communicated briefly but effectively: * what I had to do to meet my goals * the type of information that he wanted from me * the current status of the court case. Additionally, I wanted to seek a continuance in order to complete community service hours. David secured the continuance in a timely manner and let me know when my case was continued once more, presumably at the prosecutor's request. I really appreciated that David was quick and to the point in getting what I wanted out of the case, without requiring a lot of heavy lifting from me.

David was crucial in success from advising me immediately upon initial consultation to prepping me for pleading my case before the judge. He got a reckless driving charge reduced to infraction and without him I would’ve been SOL. Virginia doesn’t mess around. Hire this attorney. You’ll be very glad y...ou did.

I received a reckless driving charge for speeding on I-85 in Dinwiddie County earlier this year. I was not an in-state resident and had never had any traffic violations before, so I was very concerned about this particular charge. After thorough research, I ended up reaching out to Mr. Long. I found ...him to be very professional, honest, and straightforward in all of our interactions. He did not make me any wild promises, but did let me know what I should expect and what he could realistically achieve. He asked me to complete online driving classes and write a personal statement, since I would not be able to make the court date due to work obligations. He was great about responding to emails and/or voicemails in a timely manner, and I found his fee to be very fair. My charge ended up getting reduced to a minor infraction, which did not carry any driving point penalties, something I remain very thankful for. All-in-all, I would highly recommend Mr. Long to anyone looking for a lawyer in the area.
