Mistaken Reckless Driving

I was pulled over for reckless driving. It started with a rolled stop sign in the country, and the unmarked cop car decided not to identify himself as law enforcement; but rather tail me and push me to higher speeds until it became reckless driving. I can't say I was a perfect angel, but neither was ...the cop. Apparently, we were both have a rough morning. Plus, the officer had written the wrong code on my ticket, along with my account. Needless to say, Mr. Hershey took my case the night before my court date. He was able to postpone the date. Mr. Hershey gave clear instructions to better the outcome of my court case. I was able to complete the assignments. In the end, Mr. Hershey did an outstanding job of working with the court attorney and the officer recognized we were both wrong and agreed to lower my charges to a simple traffic violation. When the judge agreed to the lower charges, Mr. Hershey made sure the judge saw documentation that I had a clean driving record and that I passed a voluntary driver improvement course. I went from a class 1 misdemeanor to a $25 traffic violation. Mr. Hershey advised me every step; even suggestions on how to conduct myself for in court to improve my outcome. My favorite part was when I asked him how I should plea, and he said, "Don't worry. I'll do all the talking. You just stand there." Also, I was able to shake hands with the officer in the end.

Restoration of gun privileges

I am extremely pleased with Mr. Hershey and the results I have gotten with him. i was convicted of involuntary manslaughter when i was a teenager and was told because of the nature of my crime my gun rights would be hard to attain. Mr. Hershey took the case without hesitation and with in a month had ...my rights fully restored. i would personally never recommend another attorney. He is by far worth every dollar and more.

Professional and Efficient

When I got pulled over driving from NY to SC, in Virginia. I was lost in a sea of Soliciting Attorneys who wanted my business. After careful consideration I decided to go with Ryan Hershey and boy did it turn out right! I wasn't educated on traffic law in Virginia and I was to far away from home to... be able to appear in court. Ryan took his time, he was patient and very reachable (which seems to be hard to find) he always got back to me to answer all my inquiries and made very on point recommendations that really worked on my behalf. One year later I was do to come back to court and not only did Ryan remember perfectly who I was, but actually went to court and fought for me again and made everything ok. Very professional, really devoted to his clients and even when I have never actually met him in person, I had no doubt that he would represent me in the way that I needed. I strongly recommend Ryan for his professionalism, his experience, and more importantly his commitment to stand by you in any ocassion.

Misdemeaor

Mr. Hershey was a very meticulous and effective lawyer. He utilized every letter of the law that would be beneficial to my case, even if it seemed exhaustive. As a client, that showed me that there was an investment in my case and overall sense of genuine concern for my case and how it effects my lif...e. In the end, he was able to achieve no jail time and no suspension of license. I would highly recommend attorney Ryan Hershey.
