Thank you Samantha!

I was charged with an 83/55 in Richmond, while driving through a speed trap on the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. There are a huge numbers of lawyers to choose from and I really did my due diligence. Samantha was personable, responsive, sympathetic and professional throughout. She carefully led me thr...ough the process and was able to have my case dismissed. I highly recommend Samantha Upton.

satisfactory

I have consulted weiland upton in november regarding my citation for RD 87/70 and they had explained me how they could deal with the case.But after the court date the charges was only reduced to some extent and was paying the same amount before choosing the attorney as fine to the court including the... court charges.The only thing i can be happy is in the reduction of RD to no point violation.I am only satisfied.

Excellent Attorney

I contacted Samantha Upton because I received a reckless driving ticket. Ms. Upton took the time to listen, and thoroughly explained the process to me and what I needed to do. She was great to work with and very responsive to my follow up questions. My ticket was dismissed and I am extremely please...d with the results. I highly recommend Samantha Upton.

Excellent Lawyer, Great results!

I contacted Samantha Upton because I got two speeding tickets in under two weeks, with one of those tickets being a Reckless Driving ticket. I have always stayed out of trouble and have never even stepped foot in a courtroom; so I was very concerned about the negative impact these tickets would have ...on my Drivers License, my car insurance costs, as well as the fact that Reckless Driving is a misdemeanor in Virginia. I contacted Samantha Upton, had a consultation, and subsequently hired her. She went to court for me on both tickets; got my Reckless Driving reduced to a lesser non-moving citation, and got my other ticket dismissed once I attended a DMV approved Driving School course. I could not be more pleased with the service I got from Samantha Upton! She saved me from having my license possibly suspended, having a misdemeanor on my record, and thousands and thousands of dollars in fines and increased insurance costs. You'd be remiss not to hire Samantha Upton to handle any of your traffic related legal needs. I cant recommend her enough!

Well informed

Samantha was very well informed and very thorough when she described the process to me. She was easy to work with and shared a few options for me to pursue. In the end the charges were reduced and I was very please with the results.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
