Excellent Experience and Outcome

My experience with Counselor Hicks was excellent from the first phone call to discuss the matter (reckless driving charge on I-95 Greensville Sheriff, potential 4 points and criminal misdemeanor). It was so obvious to me (and I work with business attorneys everyday for 30 years in my job) that Ms. H...icks was going to be that terrific combination of good listener, experienced, professional and gracious! Ms. Hicks was responsive whenever I called or emailed her. I mean immediately, even right after a long day in court. In that first call, she let me know exactly what I needed to provide her with (i.e. state driving record, and my version of what transpired). Once she had what she needed from me, she acknowledged it, and told me she would contact me before the court date (which was about 45 days from alleged infraction date). And right on time, a couple days before she let me know she was all set, and would provide the outcome after the hearing. Ms. Hicks informed me right away that same day of the hearing that the charge was reduced to a non-moving violation, no points. Just a total fine of $226. Ms. Hicks after initially hearing what my case was about in that first phone call, offered me a flat fixed cost for her time, efforts and guidance. It was very reasonable given she was having to appear in court on my behalf as I live about 3-4 hours away in another state. I had a really clean driving history and weather conditions were good, and I was alleged to be at 83 mph. In summary, I highly recommend Ms. Hicks, my experience was that she is honest, highly effective, and very reasonable. Thank you Ms. Hicks.

Speeding Ticket

Ms. Vanessa Hicks is an attorney I would highly recommend. She represented one of my family members regarding a speeding ticket. Ms. Hicks listened to my concerns and returned all of my calls in a timely manner and won our case. I am glad I hired her as my attorney.

Fast, easy, and successful

I hired Ms. Hicks on the recommendation of my boss and she was able to reduce my reckless driving charge (driving 84 in a 70) all the way down to a non-moving violation. With reckless driving being a big deal in Virginia, I was extremely worried, but Ms. Hicks took care of everything -- no worries... about license suspension and not even any points -- just a simple fine and the matter was totally settled. I highly recommend Vanessa if you find yourself in traffic trouble in Virginia!

Execellent Professional Services

From start to finish regarding my case Ms. Hicks immediately made me feel comfortable regarding her expertise and her ability to assist me. She was very honest and never made any false promises; and provide me with every possible outcome. Ms. Hicks was also responsive in her communication with me; sh...e always responded to my telephone calls and emails in a timely manner. She was confident in her ability to obtain the best outcome in my case as a result of knowledge, extensive experience. I am truly grateful for Ms. Hick's professionalism and knowledge of the specific law as it related to my case. The firm should also be commended for their professional customer service immediate response regarding my inquiry. Finally, the retainer for services were a reasonable rate.

Amazing Job!

I want to thank Ms. Hicks for her amazing job, she was able to resolve my issue and get me a result I've never thought possible. I was cited in VA for doing 90/70 and been charged with reckless driving which is a misdemeanor. I live in NC, and this ticket would get my driver's license suspended since... it's over 80 mile/hr. Her challenge was to reduce my speed to 79, in order for me to keep my driver's license, which I believe is almost impossible, But she amazingly somehow did it, she had it reduced to 79 which is now just a simple traffic violation. so once again thank you Ms Hicks
