Stop. Don’t call every lawyer in the phone book. Don’t call ANYONE yet.
If you’re charged with misdemeanor reckless driving, do yourself a favor and learn about the case FIRST.
What is reckless driving in Virginia?
Reckless driving in Virginia is a class 1 misdemeanor crime. Yes, you’re charged with a crime that’s on the same level as DUI, carrying a concealed weapon, and assault. It’s not just a traffic ticket.
But it’s NOT an offense where you’re definitely going to jail. The punishment can include up to one year of jail, but receiving any jail time is rare. While it’s a serious offense, don’t believe scare tactics by desperate attorneys.
What defenses are available?
That’s chapter 3 of my book! You’ll learn all about the possible defenses that may work for your case. And chapter 4 covers the next critical question: what defenses don’t work?

You may NOT need a lawyer
That’s right. I’m a traffic lawyer, and I’m telling you that you might NOT need to hire a lawyer. But until you learn about the charge, defenses, and the court procedures, you won’t have a full picture of what you should do. That’s where my free book comes in.
