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.

I was recently stopped a few months ago after taking my mom to a couple of appointments and then getting a call from my sons school that he wasn’t feeling well. I wasn’t thinking about the area I was in but trying to get to my son to ensure that he was safe. I was stopped for going 54 in a 25, which ...I didn’t realize the speed limit dropped. I heard about the reckless driving charges in Va but since I moved here almost ten years ago and then changing my license over to VA about 5 years ago I had never been stopped. After getting the reckless driving chargers I started looking for a lawyer due to me being in the mental health field and any conviction I would lose my license to counsel/therapy. I talked to two other lawyers and knew when I talked with the Weiland firm that I felt most comfortable with attorney L. Calum Welch. He went over the reckless driving chargers that I had gotten and immediately told me to start community service as soon as possible and to take a driving class. This is something I am not use to as I am from MD/D.C. area and we just paid fines. As my court date came closer I contacted attorney Mr. Welch so I knew what to expect. He told me that I didn’t have to go to the court date and that he was representing me and that I would have to pay fines and maybe points on my license but no jail time. After my court date attorney Mr. Welch contacted me with great news and was able to get the reckless driving charged dropped with no fines for going over the speed limit. All I had to pay is my seatbelt ticket and a 25.00 court coast. This was an outcome that I was not expecting and I am truly grateful for the Weiland firm. If you have any doubt like I had and read hundreds of reviews from other firms. Look no further go with the Weiland firm and Attorney Mr. Welch. He was wonderful and I had an outcome that I didn’t expect. He was reasonably priced as well. Thank you again Weiland firm and attorney Mr. Welch.

I received a reckless driving ticket going 82/60 on I-95 in Richmond. Calum was very transparent about what he thought the outcome of my ticket would be and told me I would have a better chance of at least getting the ticket reduced if I went to driving class before my court date. He was able to get ...the judge to dismiss my ticket and I only had to pay an $87 court fee! I was extremely happy and impressed with the guidance and excellent customer service he provided. I would highly recommend his services to anyone!

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!
