Michael J Letsen

I recently used Mike as my lawyer and not only did he give me advice throughout the process but still gives me advice when I see him. He was professional, and made sure I was taken care of in court and received what was needed as far winning my court case. Mike is a great listener and willing to help... anyone out. I highly recommend him, and plan on using him again for future cases

I would highly recommend Mr. Letsen for your legal traffic needs. He recently represented me when I got my first speeding ticket. He was able to get the speeding ticket reduced to defective equipment saving me points on my license and preventing my insurance from going up. He also appeared on my beh...alf so I didn’t have to miss a day of work. He is very professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for an attorney for a traffic offense.

If you’re looking for counsel for a speeding ticket, save your money. You’ll pay $500 for cookie cutter service that has no impact on the court. My child got a reckless driving ticket in southern VA. We received a pitch pamphlet from Mr Letsen right after this that touted the ways he could fix eve...rything & get the best outcome. When I contacted him later to ask some questions, he assured me he would fix everything. This was a FIRST time traffic violation for my child. My child NEVER had any trouble with the law. Paid Mr. Letsen $500. Thought that meant he would represent us in court & argue on our behalf — like the pamphlet claims. While I wasn’t at the initial hearing (that’s why we retained legal counsel), I find it hard to believe any arguments were made in our defense. The judge threw the book at us. He gave my child 30 hours of community service (!) & an 8-hour driving school. A bit excessive for a first time offense. After completing these things, the judge lowered the reckless charge to improper driving (as he should have) AND slapped us with a $566 fine! Ridiculous! We hired counsel to get a better outcome. I expected my lawyer to reduce both the charge & the punishments. It’s beyond crazy that we still had a huge amount of community service hours, a driving class AND a huge fine!!! This, after paying $500 for legal help? Southern VA has a real racket going on w/their speed traps, but that’s another story. Northern VA courts employ a finer class of judges. I know several families whose kids got reckless tickets and got off with far less in damages. Bottom line — Speeding violations are straightforward cases, unless drugs or alcoholic are involved. Save yourself $500 & go it alone. Or, go to a different law firm. Wish we did.

As I sit here with my children in my house, wearing my clothes, eating my own food, sleeping in my bed I have to give credit to this attorney and his quality of work to represent me as his client. It is a life altering experiance getting caught up in the justice system. It's hard to find a voice to s...peak on your behalf in accordance with the rules, regulations, and most importantly the "Law" while standing in front of the people or the court of law. Mike Letsen does just that and I have never met an attorney with such passionate principals and values. I am a disabled combat Veteran so If I know anything when I see it without fault that is professionalism and being someone that truly respects professionals and all representatives of the law I put Mike Letsen at the top of that list from my personal perspective and opinion. I have already recommended him and will continue to do so for all matters in the court of law.
