Strategic and honest!

Life is full of ups and downs and sometimes circumstances will require legal representation. And when this happens, your decision on counsel is even more important. After careful review of feedback online and a phone consultation, I chose to hire Michael on the behalf of a family member. I found Mi...cheal easy to work with, whether via email or over the phone. His knowledge of case law was front and center, which allowed him the ability to communicate in more layman's terms (very easy to make sense of) to put my family at ease. While time can cause you to lose faith, he kept us on track with his strategy and it was a good thing. While not all circumstances will have the blessed outcome of ours, hiring Michael Huff to represent you is an excellent choice!

Reckless Driving Case

I live/work out of state and was hesitant to choose a lawyer I could not meet in person. Attorney Michael Huff went above and beyond for my case. After I failed to obtain some of the documents his office requested as evidence for my case, and after I was delayed on all of his correspondence, he was... still readily available to answer all my questions and present my case in court. Most significantly, even without the documents, he was able to get my charges reduced. Highly recommend to anyone, especially those in need out of state.

Reckless Driving 85/60

I received a reckless driving ticket in Chesapeake(85/60). I also had 3 previous speeding tickets within 5 years in Virginia so my driving record was not great. Michael immediately advised me on everything I should do to help get the reckless reduced. He went to court on my behalf and I am extremely ...happy with the outcome of my case. Michael was knowledgeable, flexible, Professional and was able to get my reckless reduced, saving me from a misdemeanor! I would recommend Attorney Michael Huff to anyone!

Michael Huff’s demeanor, presence, and knowledge is powerful

I learned about Mr. Huff via a letter that I received offering an evaluation of my case after receiving a reckless driving court summons. I was pulled over allegedly traveling 81 in a 45 mph zone. I truly had no idea I was still in Virginia nor was I aware that the particular portion of highway I was... on had a PSL of 45. I contacted him for a free consultation and it was very reassuring. Initially, from the moment of the evening I was pulled over to the moment before I actually spoke with Mr. Huff, I was very worried as I have never been accused of reckless driving let apart receive a charge for it. Mr. Huff was able to answer my questions well in advance which, in retrospect, ended up saving me both money and time that would’ve been spent performing mundane tasks that would’ve probably had little to no effect on my case. I avoided a sentence or license suspension which was pleasing. Mr. Huff’s fee was extremely reasonable also. I am very satisfied with the outcome of the choice I made to hire Mr. Huff as an attorney to represent me for this case. After all, I did have to sift through roughly 20 letters from law offices in the area in order to find Mr. Michael Huff! I will be sure to spread the word to others should they find themselves in such a predicament. Thanks again, Mr. Huff!
