Excellent experience

Mr. Baker was always avaliable when I needed to reach him. I'm very pleased with the outcome of my reckless driving ticket. I hired Mr Baker after I spoke to other lawyers in the area and Mr Baker gave me a reasonable offer. Highly recommend.

Easy

I was from out of town. Had reveived reckless driving passing through on the 81. One call and a few emails. He always responded to any email sent very timely. Mr Baker took care of the situation. Didn't over promise outcome. I was pleased with ticket reduction. Had some minor court cost and fees to ...pay. Overall great experience.

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.

Excellent experience

I am from New Jersey and a student at Virginia Tech, I got reckless driving and speeding for 87 in a 70 zone. My Dad contacted Mr. Baker to represent me, He informed me of every detail, took care of everything. He was very professional and I would recommend him to everyone. Mr. Baker personally res...ponded to email inquiries in a very efficient manner at times I received a response at 10 p.m.; he simply went above and beyond. Very grateful to have his representation as he helped me to reduce my ticket to normal speeding ticket from reckless driving. His services are very highly recommended!!!!!!!!

Worry Free

Scott took care of my out of case and I didn't even have to return to Virginia. His flat fee was very reasonably priced and he kept me posted the whole way. It was a simple fix to a reckless driving speeding ticket. I would highly recommend him.
