Everything went exactly as promised! GREAT SERVICE.

I reached out to Mr. Baker after being charged with "Reckless Driving" for speeding which is when I discovered "Virginia is for speed traps, not lovers. I started searching for an attorney and my mailbox was conveniently stuffed with letters to select from... I selected Mr. Baker, after speakin...g to an attorney who "wrote a book to scare you" and position himself for a fee that was 400% more! (great marketing but really) On the other hand Mr. Baker is a straight forward, no scare tactics, serious approach and a flat fee. My case was expertly handled and I am delighted to recommend Mr. Baker's services are "exactly as advertised" His advertising did share the seriousness of this event but it didn't use fear to manipulate, which is why ultimately he got the job. Thank you Mr. Baker.

Excellent experience

I am from New Jersey and a student at Virginia Tech, I got reckless driving and speeding for 87 in a 70 zone. My Dad contacted Mr. Baker to represent me, He informed me of every detail, took care of everything. He was very professional and I would recommend him to everyone. Mr. Baker personally res...ponded to email inquiries in a very efficient manner at times I received a response at 10 p.m.; he simply went above and beyond. Very grateful to have his representation as he helped me to reduce my ticket to normal speeding ticket from reckless driving. His services are very highly recommended!!!!!!!!

Great Attorney!

I hired Scott to represent me regarding a reckless driving citation I received while passing through Carroll County, Va. I am an out of state resident and was very fearful of the possible consequences associated with this charge, not to mention I was required to attend court. Scott handled everythi...ng for me at the first court date without the need for me to appear in person. Scott was able to reduce my reckless driving charge to a non-moving violation, with no points being assessed to my license or insurance. This was a great result and I am beyond satisfied with Scott's professionalism and efficiency throughout this process. Better yet, Scott's fees were very affordable compared to the several other law firms I called in the area. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone looking for great representation. Thanks again, Scott!

Reckless driving in VA knocked down to faulty equipment

Scott was professionally, efficient and very easy to work with. My case was resolved in the manner he thought it would be, overall I was extremely pleased with his services and methods of communication.

Great Attorney/Representation

I had a speeding ticket that Scott successfully had reduced to faulty equipment. I followed Scott's directions to take a driving course, obtain a copy of my driving record and Scott represented me in court without me attending. I am very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Scott to ...anyone needing legal representation in the Staunton, VA area!
