Default Hopewell VA lawyer for reckless

Not for me., thankfully. A local friend was coming back from NC in a GTi clocked at Jayson Werth speed 103 in 70. He is expecting anything from $2k fine and 1 to 2 days in pokey.

Having just gone through this with my friends in Hopewell, I am sure your friend has received a nice stack of mail from various lawyers that claim to be able to help him out. I used Christina Pendleton & Ass., Inc. 804-544-4444. They took lots of time on the initial call to explain what would happen and did exactly that. Mine was 91 in a 70 on 95. Reduced from Reckless to improper driving, less points, no criminal record. But.. 12 hour driver improvement course (easy, $55), court fines $450, lawyer $350, and 32 hours community service. Over 100 might not have it so good.

If hoping well still nets 32 hours of community service it may not be worth hoping.

Did you tell them you did not need a driver improvement course, as you get a much better education at DEs?

Thanks, Andy. I passed on the contact information and general outcome. He is a very mild mannered guy. He bought a lightly used XJR that has a go fast pedal for a large sedan, but was driving the GTI instead......
