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!

Reckless Driving ticket in Virginia

This attorney would never return my phone calls or emails. I called him multiple times right up to the day before my court date. He finally called me while I was in route from SC to Virginia the morning of court. After I was found guilty fined he did not even come out of the court room to inform me e...xactly what I was charged with or how this was going to affect me. I poked my head back into the court room and asked am I being charged with a felony. He may be inexpensive. You get what you pay for. Do not hire him

A Huge Help!

Scott was very pleasant to speak with on the phone. His rates were the lowest of anyone. He told me what he might be able to do regarding my wreckless driving - due to speed ticket. This was my first rodeo and I did not live in the area of the traffic violation...and I had no real basis for making a ...selection, so I went with my gut. Scott represented me on the court date and represented me with in the manner that garnered me very favorable results.

Not reccomended- Terrible communication

Do not recommend. Absolutely horrendous communication at critical point in the process. After completing necessary documents (including payment information) in order to secure Mr. Baker as my attorney for a driving incident he completely ceased all communication with me. After about 3 weeks of not re...turning my calls or emails I had to proceed with hiring a different attorney.

Reckless Driving

I came to Mr. Baker after being charged with reckless driving which is a class 1 misdemeanor in Virginia. With consequences including up to 6 months in jail, license suspension, or up to a $2,500 fine, he was able to drop my misdemeanor completely and the fine came out to only $500. His work is profe...ssional and he is also very personable. Definitely would recommend.
