Professional service - reckless driving

I was charged with reckless driving. Common case over 80 in 65. Perfect communication with stuff. Reasonable prices. Christina and her stuff did a great job. No need to go to court and taking day off. Thank you for professionalism.

Posted by Daryl | September 15, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Amazing Lawyer!

I was very pleased with her as my attorney in a reckless driving charge I received a couple of months ago traveling through Petersburg, Va. As I live out-of-state (NC), Ms. Pendleton was very diligent in her communication with me, and was ready and willing to answer any questions I had about my case.... She successfully got my case dismissed, with only a driving course as a requirement, which I was able to take online. Her initial consultation was free, and her rates were very affordable. She is an extremely intelligent and competent lawyer!

Expert Representation, good communication,

Christina and her Associates were very responsive and did a great job dealing with my issue. she communicated with me every step of the way and is highly skilled. Very competitively priced as well.

Reliable Attorney for a inexpensive price.

She was very responsive and got to my case right away. I got the charges dismissed pending taking the driving school and paying court fees, which is what I did not expect coming in. But she let me know shortly after. I had a good experience with her.

Excellent representtation

Christina Pendleton made it easy to deal with my speeding citation in Virginian. Very clear communication of what was required before and after the court date. Very professional. Would recommend if you have a speeding citation in VA.

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.
