Posted by Sveta | October 30, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Reckless driving reduced to non moving violation.

While we were driving back home from Florida to Canada, we were going through Virginia and I got stop for a speeding Police officer told me that i have to appear in court and he give me citation for reckless driving. First i thought he said about court because if i want to contest the ticket, but in ...my head why would i go to court if it will take my time and i am even not from USA, so i asked him but how much is a ticket i have to pay? but he said i charged with reckless driving and he does not know i have to call court, and if they decide that i can pay some ticket fee, then will tell me how much... I thought my head will explode from thoughts... I never got a speeding ticket before in Canada or any other country, and here is he is saying reckless driving... so this was extremely stressful. i have to drive at least another 12 hours and this paper to appear in court was in my thoughts all the time. So when i get home i start doing reading on internet about Virginia law, and i even get more terrified of this state law for speeding. then i called court to find out if i can pay ticket, they told me amount and when i asked if i will not have record under my name, they said no by paying ticket i automatically plea guilty to reckless driving... I had contacted other lawyer, and i asked to speak to lawyer personally, (because for me it was important to find out what is my chances in court as being a Canadian, what will happened to me) and their receptionist said they will call me in 15min., nobody called me after an hour, so i called back, she said they call tomorrow, nobody called me back even in few days. So I contacted Mattox Law, i asked receptionist to speak to lawyer she said he will call me back, in an hour he called me back so i spoke to him and he told me about my possible outcome and what he will try do for me in court...they handled everything for me and I did not take more time off from work to go to court. and When i spoke to Mary-Anne she give me news on my hearing outcome, she is very pleasant person and she was so helpful during all this time. I am so grateful to everyone in this firm who were helping in my case, they were able to get my ticket reduced to a non moving violation. Thanks a lot to everyone. S.N

Mattox Law - Traffic Court Review

While traveling through the Commonwealth of Virginia this summer, I was pulled over and ticketed for doing 81 in a 70 MPH zone. At the time the officer was writing the ticket, I didn’t think I was in too much trouble. After all, in my state, doing 11 MPH over the limit doesn’t usually warrant a secon...d look from an officer at a speed trap. However, upon further inspection of my ticket, I learned that I was in much more trouble. Even though I was only going 11 MPH over the posted speed limit, in Virginia, driving over 80 MPH is considered Reckless Driving – an offense serious enough to land jail time, and basically the equivalent of a DUI in most states. I immediately started searching online for legal representation and, after visiting several lawyer’s websites and bios, came across some positive reviews for Mattox Law. His success rate for my specific case was appealing, and I found his website informative and helpful. That was enough for me to choose Mattox Law to represent me. The Mattox Law staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and prompt. Mr. Mattox represented me in court, and successfully negotiated a significantly reduced sentence of Defective Equipment Generally, a non-moving violation with no points and a nominal fine.

Speeding Ticket

While traveling on a Virginia interstate, I received a speeding ticket. I then contacted Mattox Law P.C. On our first phone contact, Mr. Mattox explained the situation to me. He told me there were several different possible outcomes. He also told me what the most likely outcome would be. He guid...ed my through the process; and, kept me informed. When I had questions, his team responded promptly. On the trial date, he represented me. Thankfully, he was able to get a dismissal of the charges. They were polite and professional.
