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!!!!!

Reckless Driving

Mr. Baker was very professional and handled my case in excellent fashion. I highly recommend him for traffic cases in the Roanoke area.

Thoroughly Pleased

Excellent representation and better than expected outcome in my speeding ticket case.

Posted by Connie | December 15, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Very Pleased

My grandson received a ticket for speeding while driving from NY to AL. We received information from several attorneys. I called many of them and got a prompt return call from Mr. Baker. He reviewed the situation with me. He was familiar with the court that would hear the case. The cost of his repres...entation was reasonable. He was able to get the charge reduced to a non moving violation and notified me immediately of the outcome. He was very professional but friendly and easy to talk to. I was very pleased with him and highly recommend him.

Very convenient and straightforward

He was great, I am out of state so paying a flat fee and getting the results we went over was just what I needed. Professional and knew what he was doing! Would definitely recommend!

Thanks so much--it was a pleasure working with you. Carroll County is quite a busy place for traffic enforcement, but we are usually able to get good results for our clients.
