Excellent outcome

I contacted Scott after he had sent me a letter with his information few days after getting a ticket for reckless driving near Staunton on I81S at shenandoah County. Right from beginning he was in touch with me and helped two times moving the court dates by applying for continuance. Finally on the co...urt date he represented me so effectively even without my presence and reduced the charges to improper driving infraction of 3 dmv points. Only he could have done that. Thank you Mr. Baker for your awesome job.

Reckless driving due to speeding over 80mph

Mr. Scott took my case and handled it without me having to return to Virginia from my home in NJ more than 5 hours away. He gave me assignments to complete and stated what he should be able to accomplish if I completed the three assignments. I completed the assignments by the deadline and got them ba...ck to Mr. Baker and he came thru on his end, having my charge reduced from reckless driving to speeding and a much lower fine of $314 without the possibility of jail time due to Virginia's speeding/reckless driving laws which differ greatly from New Jersey's speeding laws. Greatful!!!!!

Five Stars

Scott was a huge help to me. I am from out of town and he took my case and handled everything for me. He was trustworthy and honest and did what he said he would do. He negotiated on my behalf and got my traffic citation reduced to a fair settlement. I can't state how much I appreciate the way my... case was handled.

Mr Baker saves the day!

My experience with Mr Baker was nothing short of fantastic! He was timely, courteous, inexpensive and his efforts produced a better than hoped for result. I would use him again in s heartbeat ! Highly recommended. PS. He saved me a lot of money, stood in for me in court and enabled me to not ha...ve to return to Virginia to resolve my issue! I live in Florida.

Thanks for the kind words. You made it easy to help. Rockbridge County is a very active place regarding traffic enforcement.
