100/70 Reckless Driving reducced to Improper Driving

I had a reckless driving case in Hopewell VA 100/70. I was fortunate enough to be represented by L. Calum Welch. He was terrific in the court room and I would not want anyone else by my side. Calum was honest with me regarding facing jail time (which was most probable) but told me what to do before ...my court date to help put me in the best possible situation to win. He had a game plan and looked like he had rehearsed pleading my case. For my job (having a security clearance and their own ethics policies) I could not afford a criminal class 1 misdemeanor, and I knew how detrimental that would be for the rest of my life. Following his advice, I got over 150 hours of community service, speedometer calibration, and driving school completed. With careful consideration from Calum's arguments, the judge reduced the charge to improper driving (no misdemeanor) with a 436 dollar fine. He was worth every penny and I would highly recommend!

Confident and Reassuring

Due to a speeding infraction on Rt 295 in Virginia, I was in need of legal representation. Luckily, it was L. Calum Welch to whom I reached out. He listened to my frantic explanation and calmly, yet confidently, assured me he could help me. He explained, in detail, the steps I needed to follow and re...assured me that he would guide me through. We exchanged emails and had telephone conversations throughout the process. The result that Calum was seeking was fulfilled, as he had reassured me, from the outset, it would be. I can highly recommend his services, based on his knowledge, manner of relating to a client and achieving results.

I could not be happier with Calum and his staffs excellent service! I was in despair after being rejected by another lawyer making me feel like it was no hope for my case, I decided to try one more lawyer and Im so glad I did!! Calum was up for the challenge and saved the day! Thank you so so much!!...!

  • 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.
