Robert Dean

I was charged with Reckless Driving on I-81 in Rockbridge Co, VA on my way to see family for Thanksgiving, clocked at 84/70. I was passing what I deemed to be an unsafe truck on the road and a Sherrif’s Deputy pulled me over. Like most folks, I was unaware that driving in excess of 80 MPH is a crimin...al offense in VA, even though it was less than 20 miles over, and I consider myself a safe driver so I was a bit surprised, but the law is the law. I did some research and eventually emailed Rob Dean. He quickly got back to me via email and we spoke on the phone after the holiday. He let me know the policy of this particular court, that they will automatically reduce the charge to a speeding ticket if no other tickets in the last five years are on your record. Unfortunately, I had a ticket from late 2015 in a different state. Still, Rob counseled to get my car calibrated since it is an older model and informed me that if my speedometer showed the correct speed that the car was going, then there was no reason to retain him since I was going to most likely receive the conviction. But, it turns out that my 2007 model was off, and only then did Rob take my case because he knew he could launch a reasonable defense based on the merits of the case. Rob emailed and called with me with all this guidance before I ever paid anything to retain him for my defense in court. After I retained him for a very reasonable fee, he took care of everything, working with the law enforcement officer to get a new court date and communicating with the court on my behalf. My charge was reduced yesterday to a Speeding citation and I paid the fee plus court costs today. This was my first experience hiring an attorney and I very much recommend Rob Dean for anyone in a similar situation.

We hired Rob Dean remotely from Canada for a Virginia traffic case. It was a bit intimidating to select a lawyer over the Internet, but luckily we made an excellent choice. Rob and his team helped resolve the situation better than expected. Rob's responsiveness was amazing. Right from the first c...all for a consultation to multiple emails during the process, Rob and his team quickly replied to any questions. Rob was very up front about every step. He tried to prevent false expectations, and was clear and concise with all communication. Lastly, his fee was very reasonable, and again it was clearly communicated in our first call. Because he represented me in court, it prevented travel costs to go to court myself that would have significantly exceeded the fees. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend choosing Rob Dean as your lawyer.

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!

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.
