Excellent service, highly recommended

Robert Herron was a great help to me when I received a reckless driving charge in Virginia. When I contacted him he explained the process and how he could help and his fees were reasonable. He attended court on my behalf which was a big plus since I don't live in the area and her was able to have t...he charge reduced to a simple speeding ticket. He kept me informed along the way and provided an excellent service.

Highly recommended!

My wife and I live in NJ. While traveling for business, my wife received a citation for reckless driving. Reckless driving in Virginia is any speed over 80 mph, even if there is nobody on the road. She was ticketed for travelling 81 mph. Had she been ticketed at 79 mph the offense would have been a s...imple speeding ticket. Reckless driving in Virginia carries a maximum sentence of a $2,500.00 fine and up to 1 year in prison! Additionally, the officer tells you that you must appear in court! Of course, my wife was very upset. We subsequently received mail pieces from 6 or 7 Virginia attorneys offering their assistance. I called a few on her behalf. When I spoke to Robert Herron, I knew I had found the attorney we could put our trust in. He patiently listened to all of my concerns without interruption. He politely answered every question I posed. When I brought up points that other attorneys had made, he never got defensive. He took the time to explain things to me. He told me that my wife would not have to appear in court if he was to represent us. He told me that he knew the officer who wrote the ticket and that he was a fair man. When I had questions, he was easy to reach and always took the time to explain things to me. He is a real gentleman. He then did everything he promised he would do and got my wife's ticket reduced to a speeding ticket. The fine was $116.00 with $66.00 in court costs. Even when we added his fee to represent us, we were going to pay a small fraction of $2,500.00! I was also impressed that Robert Herron is a Marine Veteran. This made me feel all the more comfortable that we could trust in him. He did not let us down. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs this kind of help.

Traffic Ticket Dismissed

Mr. Herron represented me for a speeding offense I received in Exmore, VA. The officer explained that I could potentially have the charge dismissed in exchange for completion of a safe driving class if I could appear, but I was unable to make it on the designated court date. Mr. Herron appeared on ...my behalf. He was quick to respond, knowledgeable, and charged a reasonable fee - and achieved the desired outcome.

Traffic violation

Mr. Herron handled my wife's driving violation (15 mph over the limit). She was worried that it would impact her permanent driving record but he was able to deliver professional, courteous service that resulted in only driving school for my wife. His efforts were well worth it to keep our insurance r...ates unchanged. He was prompt in responding and provided reliable, competent advice that kept my wife from worrying, which she is prone to do. Thank you Mr. Herron!
