Highest Recommendation Possible

I highly recommend Ms. Gerlach as an attorney for anyone who encounters a speeding ticket or reckless driving charge in Virginia. Jackie is not only bright, intelligent, personable and creative but she communicates extremely well and follows through on what she says. It is obvious she cares about h...er clients and when you call Jackie or leave a message you do not get an assistant or paralegal to answer or return your calls. You will speak directly to Jackie throughout the whole process. I received a speeding ticket on I-85 in Dinwiddie going 82 in a 70mph zone. The day after Christmas 2017 and the officer did not advise me he was writing the ticket as Reckless Driving, he just indicated I could call the court and they would advise me of the amount of my fine. Once I discovered it was reckless driving I knew I needed representation and I am grateful I discovered Ms. Gerlach. I had called a couple of attorneys and they did not instill confidence in me and then I spoke to Jackie and I knew I had found the best representation. She really went to work on my behalf and upon completion of an online driving course and $91.00 in court costs my case is dismissed from reckless driving. It was even better than I had hoped for. And in addition to that, since I lived out of state in NC, I did not have to appear in court thanks to her accepting me as her client and representing my interests. I cannot say enough about Ms. Gerlach and if you want the best representation possible at a reasonable cost, you could not have better legal counsel than Ms. Gerlach. I will never forget how she was able to assist me and have my case dismissed.

She is the real deal!

Jacquelyn Gerlach is an awesome attorney. Very experienced in what she does. She spoke to us personally. Not some secretary or paralegal. She handled the matter in a very professional manner. She gave us our options and let us decide what was best. Very friendly and was always willing to fight ...for us, giving us the best chance in court. I would recommend her to represent anyone in court.
