Review Peter Louie

A total lifesaver

Posted by

I was charged with RD in Virginia Beach. Mr. Louie was an absolute figure of calm during an otherwise stressful month and a half while waiting for my hearing. He was always available by phone, text, or email and provided the most sound advice regarding mitigation. His demeanor pre-trial was completely re-assuring. The day of the hearing, Mr. Louie was a legend. We executed our strategy, won the mercy of the judge, and had my RD reduced to a simple speeding infraction. I simply do not believe I would have gotten any other outcome without his representation.

Reckless driving charge dismissed

Posted by

I found Peter John Louie law firm through a simple google search. I was impressed with the 140+ reviews and 5 star ratings. I carefully read through them to make sure they weren’t fake because how was it possible that there were that many reviews? After hiring him, I know why. Everything was quick and easy. Attorney Carroll helped prepare me for the trial by giving me a list of things to do and Attorney Louie represented me in court. He talked to the trooper before going inside the courtroom and made a deal. Attorney Louie was not out for blood. He wanted a good outcome for me but at the same time did not want to make the trooper look bad in front of everyone. I respect that a lot. In the end, my case was dismissed completely and I had no fines or court fees. I would hire him again, but hopefully I won’t have to.

Exceptional Assistance

Posted by

Mr. Louie helped me with a case where the court date kept being pushed back in time due to Covid-19. The whole way Mr. Louie was very clear on what would go on at court and what to prepare before court. Since the trial was delayed so many times I had to move out of state due to military orders and Mr. Louie was very understandable of my situation and didn't change his approach on how to help me out. In the end he got the judge to dismiss my case and had a witness say good things about me. I am beyond grateful for his help and guidance as I am still new to adulting in life. I will of course recommend him to anyone in need because he helped me out and made things very clear as I am all new to these kinds of things making me very nervous but he made sure that I was in the right hands.

Peter Louie is an angel sent straight form heaven!

Posted by

Peter was the only lawyer I spoke with that I felt actually heard me. He was direct, laid out a clear game plan, and kept a steady hand throughout. He dealt with my anxieties with the utmost professionalism. He wasn't the cheapest lawyer I encountered but he got the results. Considering another lawyer offered to merely save me a trip back to Virginia for a court date (and nothing more), Peter was a complete bargain! I highly recommend him!

Dismissal of CnR with great attention to detail

Posted by

Mr. Louie's attention to detail is superb. From the moment I requested information on my speeding charge he allotted his available time to educate me on my specific case. When the day of court arrived, he probed the officer's calibration records which were contrary to the Virginia code. He presented me with the routes available and the possible endings. After a collective decision, we decided to challenge the records. This allowed us to fight the Careless and reckless driver (CnR) charge on court, ultimately ending in a complete dismissal of CnR. I am glad I hired Mr. Louie and I can attest his work. If I hired someone without the same initiative and quick thinking that treats every case differently, I wouldn't have had this outcome.

Serious Traffic Law Violation Charges

Posted by

Being a Pennsylvania resident I was extremely frustrated after receiving a serious motor vehicle law violation charge in the State of Virginia. I was out-of-state and did not know where to turn, but I knew that I needed the best possible legal counsel. I turned to Attorney Peter Louie. From the moment I began speaking to Attorney Louie during my telephone consultation I realized that he was going to be my attorney. I hired Attorney Louie and found him to be extremely competent and professional, which was reassuring to me. He made one commitment to me, which was to provide me with his best possible legal counsel. He exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Attorney Louie to anyone looking to hire the best attorney in the State of Virginia.

Traffic Defense

Posted by

I can't thank Mr. Louie enough for his representation in my reckless driving defense. He was very honest and straight forward and gave realistic expectations and a outlined plan and timeline for the case. His strategic moves and planning lead to the charge being completely dismissed. You can tell based off his reviews, website, and in person conversation he is clearly a subject matter expert when it comes to traffic defense in the area. So grateful I chose to hire Mr. Louie!

Excellent, Prompt, Professional and Transparent!

I was very thorough in my search for the right lawyer. Peter Louie, Esq. was the seventh lawyer I interviewed and knew he was the lawyer for me. Very forthright and honest demeanor. Prompt and clear in his communications and quick to provide reciprocal follow-up. His client courtesy and expert knowledge won my trust and helped me win my case. I would definitely recommend him!

Reckless/FTA, both dismissed!

Posted by

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, which 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.
