Reckless/FTA, both dismissed!

I hired Peter Louie shortly after receiving a reckless driving ticket (60/30) and a failure to appear after accidentally missing my court date. I completed all the pre-court recommendations he gave me (calibration, driving school, recommendations and volunteer hours) and he even let me pay his fee, w...hich is already very affordable, in two installments. Upon the court date, both my charges were dismissed as Mr. Louie explained to the courts my situation. Very pleased with his service, as he is very thorough, and very easy to contact, as well as inexpensive as far as lawyers go. Would highly recommend.

Great Lawyer

Peter’s office was easily reachable when I first contacted them about a reckless driving ticket (for speeding over 20mph.) They quickly scheduled me with a free over-the-phone consultation with Peter in which he discussed in detail the possible outcomes of my case and the best way to tackle it. His t...ailored response to my questions is what led me to choose him over the other attorneys I had consulted. He advised me to take several steps prior to my court appearance. On the day of, he met with the officer ahead of time to bolster our argument. The judge presiding that day was formidable to say the least. Several of those ahead of me did not get a reduction or dismissal. Peter argued well on my behalf and presented the judge with all the preemptive steps I took (that he advised me to take) in order to be considered a safe driver. In the end, the judge reduced the charge. Instead of getting a misdemeanor conviction, I walked away with only having to pay a fine. I am glad I followed everything he told me to do because Peter is knowledgeable of the Virginian traffic court system. Together with his quick, detailed responses, I got the confidence and peace of mind I needed to get through this issue.

Take my advice: hire Peter

I highly recommend choosing Peter Louie as your defense attorney. I chose Peter because of his many excellent Google reviews, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome--he defended me against a DUI charge and won a “not guilty” verdict. In addition to winning, Peter did a fantastic job on all fronts.... Here’s what you should know: Peter returned all my messages and questions very quickly with a detailed response that was easy to understand. He thoroughly prepared for my case and kept me informed about what he was learning and how it affected his strategy. My case had some unusual features, but Peter took the time to research them and how they would affect me. Throughout it all he was calm and upbeat. Peter is a straight shooter and he doesn’t use jargon. This was extremely valuable during that very stressful time. On trial day Peter met with me in a private room to review strategy and review things that might happen during the trial. As always he was informative, positive, and easy to understand. I walked in to the courtroom feeling comfortable and ready. The prosecutor offered a deal, which Peter presented to me. We decided to decline it and go for the bigger win. Peter was very assertive during the trial. He fought hard for me, using all the information and evidence we had discussed. Peter used the strategy he had laid out to me in advance, and it worked--I was found not guilty of the DUI. After the trial Peter didn’t rush off to his next case. He continued to be incredibly helpful with additional paperwork and loose ends. Peter was there for me the whole way. Choosing Peter was one of the best investments I have ever made, not just because he helped me beat the DUI but also because he was very thorough and made an incredibly stressful situation bearable. If you are reading this you are probably in one of those situations. Take my advice: hire Peter. You will be glad you did.

Definitely recommend!

If I had to recommend an attorney for anyone weather it’s family or someone I just meet I would recommend Peter Louie. He was very professional. This was my first time in court besides getting my licenses almost 4 years ago. Going into court I was really nervous. Peter pulled me aside and talked to m...e about what we were going to do before court and he was great. I was still scared because I knew the officer that had given me this ticket was one that had written a lot of tickets especially seeing the board that shows you what time your court time is. Seeing his name up there so much really put the fear in me for that day. This ticket was unsafe lane change due to an accident which I was really trying to get over to avoid hitting someone that had cut me off on a rainy day and then hit his breaks and I knew I didn’t have enough time. Regardless of these I went in the court room and I did everything Peter Louie had told me to do and my ticket was DISMISSED! You will not regret hiring Peter Louie to fight for you in court! Not to mention he doesn’t kill you with his pricing.

Best Attorney!

I am in the Air Force and, I was pulled over and given a reckless driving charge of 85/55. I had no idea the severity of this at first the local law enforcement and what the Air Force could do with a conviction. From the very beginning he was straight forward, honest and extremely knowledgeable about... everything I asked or needed to know. I followed every instruction and with his representation it all paid off! We were in front of the judge and he was very prepared. All said in done it was reduced to 70/55 was looking at jail time and some serious fines but Mr. Louie did everything he needed to do to make sure that did not happen to me. If you are looking for a straight forward, honest and reliable lawyer at a very affordable price then he is the one for you especially if you’re in the military!
