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!!!!!

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.

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.
