VA reckless driving charge: 98 in a 70

I was busted speeding 98mph in a 70mph trying to make up time heading back home. The State Trooper had a spot that was undetectable until it was too late. Busted... I was lucky I was not taken to jail on the spot. Really lucky. Now after I got back home I was being contacted by so many lawyers to hel...p me out it was crazy. At the end of the day it came down to my budget. So the cost to get a lawyer was all over the place. But to be honest Mr. Sheldon Scott Baker was the cheapest. So I gave Mr. Baker a call. He advised me to do a few important things to help my case even before I paid him. I was rather surprised he gave me all of this information for free. So I hired him to represent me at court and I spent the next few weeks following his advice. He was a great advocate for me in court. He was able to get my reckless driving charge dropped, including potential jail time. I would highly recommend him to represent you in VA traffic court.
