Very helpful and prompt

I contacted Vanessa after my daughter received a speeding ticket in Virginia. We are from Pennsylvania and it was really scary because we didnt understand the law in Virginia and we were shocked that the charge was actually wreckless driving and the penalties were really steep. Vanessa was so helpful... and she had the charges reduced. We didnt even have to appear in court. Every time i contacted her with questions she got right back to me. She was very professional and she put my mind at ease with the whole process.

Speeding Ticket

I recently received a speeding ticket on my way back from VA to NC. However, since I live in Raleigh, the inconvenience of driving to Brunswick/Emporia for a traffic violation on a Wednesday would be a hassle. As a result, I googled lawyers within that area. I found the Gee Law Firm, of which Vane...ssa is an associate. Surprisingly, of all of the letters I've received in the mail, she was not one of them. All in all, my experience with her was professional, courteous, and easy. Vanessa kept me up to date on everything, and she got my ticket reduced from an 80/70 to a non-moving infraction. If you need a traffic lawyer, she the lady to go to.

Traffic Violation

I called Vanessa and she promptly gave me legal advice and satisfactorily took care of my legal needs. I would highly recommend her to anyone else that needs traffic violation advice.

She was wonderful, Professional & Responsive

When I got a reckless driving ticket in VA this year I received 30 flyers in the mail. None were from Ms. Hicks; which is why I chose her. I found her on this site seeking a local attorney. When first spoke to her, among other things, she asked the officers name and then described him to me; I knew ...she we the right person. She is experienced in working with the local Emporia/Greensville Circuit Court and it showed in the quick disposition of my case following her appearance on my behalf. The ticket was reduced from reckless driving to Defective Equipment. No points to my license, 8 hours driving class (completed online) and a fine. Her fee was very reasonable and I closed the entire thing out for under $800 in total costs (class cost, court fees/fines and her fee) without having take time off from work to drive back from NJ to VA to manage this. Lesson learned on my part; and I would highly recommend Ms. Hicks.

Professional, Informative, and Effective

I was stopped in Brunswick County and charged for reckless driving while speeding. It was my first offense. I immediately looked for lawyers from the area since I was not from the state. I found Attorney Hicks here on Avvo. When I contacted her she was very kind, informative and professional. She inf...ormed me about the different solutions and approaches for my case. After speaking with her I knew she was the right choice for someone representing me. She went to court and got my reckless driving ticket reduced to a speeding ticket. I am very grateful to have met her. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with traffic violations.
