Reckless Dricing Ticket

I was charged with reckless driving 80/60 near Roanoke VA area. At that time I was under 6-month probation for another reckless driving charge. I was very worried about getting two reckless driving charges in such short time period. But Rob Dean was able to handle those cases very well. He continued ...my court date after my probation and dismiss my charge. 100% recommended!

Reckless Driving Ticket

Like many others posting here, I was charged with reckless driving in Virginia (I-64; 84 mph/70 mph zone). As a Maryland resident, I was unaware of Virginia's strict driving laws and assumed I would simply pay a fine for speeding. Not so! In Virginia, the law provides for a criminal charge agains...t persons driving at more than 20 mph over the speed limit or over 80 mph regardless of how many mph over the speed limit. This is a misdemeanor offense in Virginia, which is the same level of offense as DUI, and it carries a penalty of up to a $2,500 fine and/or 12 months in jail! I only became aware of the severity of the charge once I began receiving a slew of letters from lawyers willing to represent me. After speaking with several, I chose Rob Dean. As a former prosecutor, Mr. Dean has an acute understanding of Virginia's driving laws and is familiar with the members of the Court—specifically the presiding Judge. Fortunately, I had a clean driving record (no points). At my court hearing—which I did not attend—Mr. Dean was able to reduce the misdemeanor offense to a speeding ticket. Thank goodness! I'm grateful to Mr. Dean and I will never drive above the speed limit again. Do not hesitate to hire him to represent you in a reckless driving case.

Virginia Ticket

Mr. Dean did a wonderful job with a reckless driving citation in Virginia. I live out of state and would not have been able to deal with this citation. I was able to get updates and information in a very timely manner. His office staff was amazing. I would definitely recommend Mr. Dean.

Speeding Ticket in Virginia Case Dismissed Represented by R. Dean

I got a speeding ticket in VA for going 87 in a 75 mph zone (it was a very steep hill and we live in a very flat area of MD). Being from MD, I did not realize that anything over 80 could result in a felony misdemeanor conviction and a fine up to $2,500+. Chose Rob Dean out of the slew of solicitati...ons I received and I am glad I did. Mr. Dean was extremely reasonably priced and always responded to my e-mails quickly and professionally. I did not have to attend court and my charge was dismissed completely. I was fortunate to have a clean driving record and although Mr. Dean did not necessarily think it was necessary, I did complete a Driver Improvement Program. Both my driving record and certificate of completion were presented to the Court. Again, can not express strongly enough that Mr. Dean was professional and competent and made the process proceed smoothly.

Excellent lawyer,

I was coming through rural Virginia (on the highway) and honestly had no idea I could get a ticket for reckless speeding for going over 80 mph. So I got the ticket, and there was no option to pre-pay... I would have to make the huge trip back to deal with the ticket. Then I found out its a misdemeano...r and can have a huge fine and points to go with it. So I hired Rob Dean, he was easy to work with, and he dealt with the whole thing so I DID NOT have to take a day off or two and drive to court so far from my home. He does a wonderful job!
