Wonderful

Samantha helped me tremendously. I was looking around for lawyers, when I found her name. I decided to give her a chance. I’m glad I did. I would definitely hire her again if I need to. I hired her to investigate my case and she handled everything quickly and professionally. I will definitely recomme...nd her to family, relatives, and friends.

Professional, Supportive and Successful

Samantha was successful in delivering on the outcome we worked towards. She was specific about what needed to be done to put us in the most likely position to receive that result and worked with me throughout the process to make it happen. I would recommend her to anyone looking for support on a rang...e of traffic citations in Virginia. As someone unfamiliar with the laws of this particular state's highways, she provided me with key information that I otherwise would have spent a significant amount of time looking into on my own. Samantha is also extremely professional, easy to work with, and a genuinely kind person.

Amazing Lawyer

I would definitely recommend Upton Law. Always answered when I called if not I would here from her that evening. Ms. Upton was so awesome I was sick and went to the hospital so I missed my Henrico court date. My #1 LAWYER reach out to me to let me know I had a warrant out for my arrest. She made it ...her business, mind you that she didn't represent me in Henrico but she went to Henrico spoke with the Judge and called me and told me to stop stressing and feel better everything was taken care off!!!! I don't have any plans on getting involved with the legal system ever again but if I do I would send my last dime to hire Ms. Upton. #####UPTON LAW##### #######1###########

Going the Extra Mile

Ms. Upton went above and beyond my expectations in her representation of me for what started as a simple traffic ticket before the pandemic turned it into a logistical nightmare. She helped me seamlessly navigate the entire process, from the initial court appearance to finding an accredited driving ...school and the shifting deadlines/submission methods related to shelter in place orders. While she could have just let me know the outcome and sent me in my way, she repeatedly followed up with the court and kept me well advised on the fluid administrative situation. High praise all around!

Both tickets dropped - Highly recommend

I was pulled over in March by a Virginia state trooper and ticketed. I researched online for my best option and I chose Samantha Upton based on her reviews. I contacted Mrs. Upton and was reassured that she could handle my case. I had 2 months of worry being charged with a class 1 misdemeanor traffic... violation. With the Covid-19 pandemic, I was also concerned about appearing in a courtroom. Mrs. Upton was able to represent me in court and had the misdemenor completely dropped and my related ticket dismissed! I was amazed at the results, to say the least, because it wasn't the typical reckless driving charge. Her service was friendly, professional, and she kept me updated on my case. I highly recommend her services for any type of traffic ticket.
