Hiring a Virginia Reckless Driving Lawyer

If you were recently charged with reckless driving in the state of Virginia, you may not think you really need an attorney. After all, it’s just a traffic ticket, isn’t it? Put simply, no. Unlike many other traffic violations, a reckless driving charge is a criminal misdemeanor. As a result, if you are convicted, you could be fined hundreds of dollars, lose your driving privileges, and even spend time in jail. To avoid such severe penalties, hiring a Virginia reckless driving attorney is always in your best interest.

Virginia has some of the toughest traffic laws in the nation—a fact clearly evident from the state’s reckless driving policy. In fact, as a Class 1 Misdemeanor, a reckless driving charge falls into the same category of crimes as Assault and Battery, Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, and Driving While Intoxicated.

Due to the severity of the charge, the penalties for reckless driving may include a license suspension, up to $2,500 in fines, and up to one-year in jail. Your conviction will also remain on your criminal record permanently, and you can expect to pay much higher auto insurance rates for years to come.

Fortunately, with help from a lawyer who specializes in reckless driving cases, you may be able to reduce, or even eliminate, the charges against you.  After handling numerous cases just like yours, attorneys Mark, Pat and Jeff are the lawyers you need to help you fight your reckless driving charge.
