Reckless driving in Virginia is a serious charge for anyone due to the following:

It is pretty common to get lower speed reckless driving charges reduced. But once you reach a certain speed, it becomes very difficult to reduce. Our client had retained a DIFFERENT attorney for her case in lower court. Then she called me AFTER she was convicted. Her other lawyer negotiated the following result at 101 MPH:

Appeals are never easy, but they are even more challenging when you are trying to improve the outcome of someone who PLEAD GUILTY and had a plea agreement. The reason is that you are going back on your deal, so to speak.

However, today I was able to negotiate the following result at 101 for my client in Dinwiddie Circuit Court:

As you can see, the client was given TEN days in jail at 101 mph, with 9 days suspended so the client went to jail for a day and would have been on probation if she did not appeal.

Note, this was a LOWER SPEED and their client’s license was suspended for SIX MONTHS with NO RESTRICTED LICENSE. In addition, they PAID A FINE OF $1000. See another case that was reduced, but just barely:

Again, we see another $1000 fine plus court costs. This charge was reduced, but the SPEED WAS KEPT THE SAME. So the client’s driving record will still show 102 MPH in a 70!! Every case is different and past results do not predict the future.
