I got my very first speeding ticket driving through Mecklenburg County, Virginia, which I quickly learned was not just a speeding ticket but a charge for reckless driving misdemeanor. A good friend put me in touch with Vanessa Hicks of The Gee Law Firm. From the start, Ms. Hicks was informative, e...mpathetic and ready to step in to get my summons resolved. When my case finally went before the court, Ms. Hicks effectively argued on my behalf and the judge downgraded my summons from a reckless driving charge to a simple speeding ticket with a small fine. I can't thank Ms. Hicks or The Gee Firm enough for their representation.

My husband is a truck driver and he got a ticket in Virginia and we live in North Carolina. The ticket was for 11 over the posted speed which is careless.and reckless in Virginia. That charge would have ended his driving career. We called our attorney at home and she gave us Vanessa's number. I calle...d and Vanessa was quick to tell us what she could do for us and what it would cost us. We hired her 2 months before the actual court date and she made sure she kept in contact with us during that time. She was always positive and upbeat every time we spoke. She told me to expect her to call after court on the day our case went before the judge to let us know what had been done. She held true to what she said she would do and that afternoon she called. Vanessa had done for us exactly what she said she would do. Our court fines and cost were exactly what she said she thought they would be and her fees were not high at all. I hope we don't ever have a need for an attorney in VA again but if we do we will definitely be calling Vanessa again.

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.

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.

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.
