So helpful!!!

Was amazing! Received a ticket in Greensville and Calum represented me. I was originally concerned because it was my first ticket and I'm out of state, but he handled everything well and answered every question I had. The ticket ended up getting dismissed.

Speeding Ticket

I received my first ticket and had all of my worries, in regards to my license and insurance, alleviated once I hired Welch. I provided the necessary paper work, and was then able to focus on other priorities without stress. Welch reached out to inform me of the verdict, which went exactly how he exp...ressed in our consolation. The receptionist was also really kind and helpful when I called for an update on the process, and what to expect after my hearing.

Amazing Service!

I worked with Calum Welch for my case, and the whole process, from the initial contact to the end result was AMAZING. I got a reckless driving charge and was initially extremely nervous, as other lawyers were trying to convince me to hire them with the fear of jail time and points. When I contacted T...he Weiland Firm, Calum spoke with me and calmed me down by explaining what each charge meant, and what the game plan would be. He represented me in court and was able to give me the exact results that we were hoping for and expecting: he reduced all of my charges. He and the staff are always so responsive and supportive. Although I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone else, I definitely recommend The Weiland Firm for any traffic tickets.

Misdemeanor Reckless Driving Offense Reduced to Traffic Infraction of Defective Equipment

Cannot recommend Calum and the Weiland Firm enough - I was one of what I'm sure is plenty of people who pass through the state of Virginia completely unaware of their threshold for reckless driving offenses. I was scared and uncertain when I was told that I could face up to a year in jail (among othe...r consequences) for a misdemeanor-level reckless driving offense, but from the start, Calum was calm, confident, rational, and very personable until the day of the case. The misdemeanor-level offense was reduced to a minor traffic infraction, and the only consequences I now face are not even a few hundred dollars in tickets and court fees and an 8-hour driver improvement course; all-in-all it was minimally stressful, maximally successful, and I would trust Calum and the Weiland firm if I had to do it all over again.

Mr.Welch was very opened & honest with my situation. He told me everything to do & he handled it without me even being there. Mr. Welch secretary was also professional & walked me through steps & made sure they were in contact every time I sent paperwork to make sure I was sending the right documents.... Mr. Welch is AWESOME!!!! Could not ask for a better lawyer

  • 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.
