Reckless Driving by Speed - Dismissed

Bottom line up front: Hire Attorney Michael Huff and his team. Truly the best of the best! Best possible outcome was achieved by Attorney Huff today in court. Was facing a “Reckless Driving by Speed” (64 in a 30) charge which includes a criminal record if convicted. Mr. Huff was extremely carin...g and detailed throughout the set up of my defense. I followed his advice throughout the preparation for court. Once in the courtroom, Mr. Huff was a master of his craft and expertly defended me against the charges. The judge dismissed the case. Mr. Huff and his team are the best. You will not regret having them represent you and your interests in court.

Highly Recommend

If you need an attorney, Mr. Huff is the man for you. He is very thorough and detailed. He will consider all the facts as well as your thoughts, feelings, and wishes for your case and how to best proceed. My case was a tough one, but Mr. Huff had a game plan. He plans are not so rigid that he can't c...hange them on the fly. He is quick thinking and catches little flaws and minute details that others might miss. My case was over with in less than a minute, I never even spoke, and we didn't get into the details or even have to present my case. Mr. Huff noticed a major flaw in the Officer's case within seconds of the Officer beginning to testify. As, soon as the officer finished testifying Mr. Huff had my case thrown out and we were gone before I even realized what was going on. No fines, court fees, jail, license revocation, or community service. It was as if nothing ever happened. Highly recommend Mr. Huff!!! He is well worth the money and I will be calling him again if I ever need another traffic attorney.

I remember it distinctly, after getting a reckless driving ticket I received multiple introductory letters in the mail from lawyers offering there services. I was so overwhelmed with anxiety on making sure i chose a good lawyer, I looked at their rating and reviews on internet, and ultimately Mr. Hu...ff's Law Firm online resume impressed me. So i Hired him! Hiring Mr. Huff was the best decision I ever made! Since receiving a reckless driving ticket, I was totally nervous about my chances of not going to jail. Right from our initial conversation on the phone with Mr. Huff (which we never meet!) Mr. Huff held no punches and informed me of the seriousness of the charges I was facing. However, he instructed me to accomplish three specific tasks, which I followed to the letter. Court day came and Mr. Huff did the rest. In my eyes everything seemed bleak, from the courts not having and informing Mr. Huff's office of our docket time change to conflicting information on the monitors. This did not phase Mr. Huff, he flawlessly ensured that my case was scheduled properly and not overlooked. We had our first and only in person conference and he prepared me for court. Not to be a cliche, Mr Huff executed his craft as if we were taping for Law and Order! He knew what the Judge wanted to hear! He knows what questions to ask and he knows how to present his clients in a positive light. Not only did Mr Huff keep me out of jail, he saved my license and got my charges reduced, which is hardly ever done by the courts. I was pleased to pay the fine by this time. He got my life back and kept me driving. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Mr Huff is serious and passionate about being a lawyer and he cares about his clients. I can't express my gratitude and my appreciation for reflecting me in a positive light. Mr Huff is a asset to the community. My advice to those who are in need of his services, is to listen to his advice follow his instructions to the letter and if you can go beyond what he ask of you. After being in court, and seeing other lawyers represent their clients, I was satisfied and grateful that I hired Mr. Huff to represent me. Praying that I will never need Mr. Huff's services again, but if I do I know exactly who I will call!

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!
