Reduced Reckless Driving (80/60) to No points

I hired Mr. Joseph Taylor Jr. about a reckless driving ticket for driving at 80 in a 60 mph zone. He and his secretary handled my case very professionally, and collected all documents from me and represented me on my behalf on the court date. He helped me obtain a reduction after discussing the case ...with Officer Booth, conditionally finding me guilty of defective equipment resulting in a no-point record on my license. I just needed to pay the court fees and take a Driver improvement clinic on a later date. I found his service to be friendly and professional and very cost-effective in comparison to all the other options.

Professional and eager to assist

Joseph Taylor helped me navigate the VA court system after I was pulled over for speeding in southern Virginia. Knowing that I could trust him to represent me in court, and avoid having to travel for hours to attend court, put me at ease. His office contacted me after the trial and explained the su...bsequent steps that I needed to take to dispose of my charges. They also followed up with me immediately to ensure that I received all the information I needed. I would definitely recommend Joseph Taylor to anyone who receives a speeding ticket in southern Virginia.

Speeding Ticket Representation and Resolution

I received a speeding ticket in Mecklenburg County Virginia which is about 150 miles from my home. I contacted Mr. Taylor, left a voice message and he returned my call within 30 minutes. During our conversation, he clearly explained my options, his services, that he personally handles his client'...s cases, and represented me on my court date. I travel a lot for work so it was very convenient and a relief to have Mr. Taylor appear in court on my behalf. Mr. Taylor was successful in reducing the speeding ticket down to defective equipment. No points were added to my driving record which keeps my driving record free of any violations and ultimately keeps my auto insurance rates from increasing. I would highly recommend Mr. Taylor for your traffic legal issues. He and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable and provide resolutions for speeding tickets.

Speeding ticket reduced to defective equipment

I had gotten a speeding ticket (77 in a 70) a while back and forgot about the court date until the day before. Thinking it was to late to get anyone to represent me, I had a friend tell me to call Mr. Taylor. I then called Mr. Taylor's office where I reached his secretary. I explained to her what had... happened, she said she was sure Mr. Taylor could represent me but he was in court at the moment, and she would get him to call as soon as he could. Shortly after Mr. Taylor called, I explained everything that happened and I was sorry for the short notice. He said it was ok and that he would represent me, all I needed was my driving record and he would take tare of it. The next day I received an email from Mr. Taylor saying the speeding ticket was reduced to defective equipment therefore no points would be deducted from my driving record. I was very pleased. Mr. Taylor and his secretary were very kind and helpful. I would like to thank them both.
