Easy

I was from out of town. Had reveived reckless driving passing through on the 81. One call and a few emails. He always responded to any email sent very timely. Mr Baker took care of the situation. Didn't over promise outcome. I was pleased with ticket reduction. Had some minor court cost and fees to ...pay. Overall great experience.

The best!!

As an out-of state NJ attorney whose 18 year-old daughter was facing a VA reckless driving summons that I subsequently learned constitutes a criminal charge, I entrusted her fate to Scott Baker and am extremely pleased with his representation and the ultimate outcome. Scott always promptly returned m...y calls and responded to my emails (before he even knew I was an attorney myself!), and ultimately achieved a highly favorable result, all for a more than reasonable fee. I would also recommend that any anonymous negative internet reviews against him (or any other lawyer, for that matter) be entirely disregarded; being an attorney myself, I've also had the displeasure of receiving unfavorable reviews written by internet trolls (usually on the "receiving end" of my own representation of a client...), it's far too convenient to hide behind a keyboard and publicly assail someone while not even disclosing your own name. But from my experiences with Scott I can assure you that any negative reviews are entirely fabricated, he was ALWAYS 110% professional, promptly responded to my inquiries and concerns, and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of experienced and highly qualified counsel.

Very Positive

Hired Mr. Baker for a Misdemeanor Traffic ticket i had received. He guided me in the process and helped resolve the issue. Very professional and effective

No hope, to back on the road!

I received a citation in Smyth County for reckless driving, and a suspended license all while in possession of a Commercial Driver License. Being honest my driving record is riddled with speeding citations in and out of the truck. I explained to Scott that I could not accept the reckless driving cita...tion or it would mean the end of my career. Knowing what's on my record I told him he'd be taking a shot in the dark. I was job hunting when I received an email from Scott letting me know that he hit his target right between the eyes! I couldn't believe it. He was able to get the suspended license thrown out, and reckless driving reduced to improper driving. I couldn't ask for anything more considering the circumstances. I am highly satisfied with the outcome of this case and would recommend Scott Baker to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation.

Speeding Ticket

Mr. Baker handled successfully a stressful speeding ticket representing me. He turned an otherwise headache into a painless incident with a very efficient process. In addition, his cost was exactly the flat fee he quoted with no surprises. Many thanks! BTW, he was very prompt in returning my initial... call as well as follow up communications.
