With a 105/55 RD ticket in Fairfax County, the prognosis is almost always set in stone. This type of citation (from all my research) ends up with automatic jail time. The only variables are typically how long and if license suspension will be imposed. I'll save my final verdict for the end... I wa...s cited with this charge right before a trip to Florida so as you'd expect, all I was thinking about on the trip was how to remedy this citation. I called Mary based on my online research; she was highly recommended and my gut told me she would be my best hope. I called her and she reached out personally to go over the details of my case. Even from the jump, she was very honest with the possibilities of what could happen. However, she gave me a clear course of action on what things I could do to help my chances in front of a prosecutor. I followed her advice: one 8-hour driving course, one 4-hour driving course, 100 hours of community service, speedometer calibration, and a letter from my security officer (I maintain a security clearance). After doing these things, the first court date loomed. The first court date had to be continued but at the second court date, we met in the morning before court. Mary went over her opinion on the prosecutor/judge pairing and laid out my chances of a favorable outcome. Unfortunately, the prosecutor was very strict on jail time and the Judge was renowned for being rough on speeders. Therefore, we continued the case once more and prepared for a potential trial. Mary worked with me closely to ensure I was prepared in the event I needed to take the stand during the trial. She went over the Trooper's video, my dashcam, and other relevant evidence to build the case and prepare me for the multitude of outcomes that could happen. I felt very comfortable because she was very well-versed in how the proceedings would go and what our options would be at that stage. Finally, the day of the last court date arrived. Like before, I spoke beforehand with Mary and she indicated that the prosecutor was the same but the Judge was one of the more lenient judges. We began prepping for the fact we'd have to go to trial and present our (prepared) case. However, through the power of her professional wording and influence, she was able to convince the prosecutor to agree to reduce the charge of RD to simple speeding and thereby no jail time. When this agreement was presented in front of the Judge, Mary made a strong case on my behalf. Ultimately, the Judge agreed and my charge went from an RD misdemeanor to a speeding infraction. I'm not sure exactly how she does it, but her expertise and finesse are unmatched in this industry. I sincerely doubt that any other lawyer could've achieved the results she was able to. I hope to never have to call on Mary again but it's good to know that if needed, she will go to bat for me. Thank you, Mary!

This was our first experience with a lawyer and it was for a reckless driving ticket that was a second offense. During the consultation phone call, Ms. Nerino was very informative and provided sound advice not even knowing if we would hire her. We did end up hiring her and could not have been more i...mpressed with her professionalism. She knows her area of law extremely well and seems to have a very good network and reputation in the court system. I was very impressed with her willingness to go above and beyond and she never made me feel like she did not have time for us. I would highly recommend her!!

Mary did a spectacular job handling a very difficult situation. She understood the stress our family was under, and she was always patient and responsive to every question. Ultimately the charges were dropped only community service remains to address the situation. Could not have asked for a bette...r outcome.

I was charged with reckless driving. I was happy to have found my attorney Mary Nerino online at Price Benowitz, LLP. She called me on Sunday the same day I contacted her. I was surprised because I thought I wouldn’t hear from her until Monday. I thinks it makes her dedicated. Ms. Nerino gave me... sound guidance. She and her team walked me through the court process. It is easy to communicate with her because she will email, call or text you whatever your preference and as needed. I was very happy to sign the waiver to have Ms. Nerino represent me in court and not have to be there in person. I am pleased that I won’t have that reckless driving infraction on my record. I highly recommend Mary Nerino for knowledge, communication and professionalism.
