Skilled Leesburg Speeding Lawyer
Of all Virginia moving violations, speeding is perhaps the most common. There are many reasons a person might drive faster than the posted limit, and most of these reasons have no criminal intent behind them. Perhaps you were running late and pushed your speed a little too far in trying to make up time. Maybe the speed limit was not clearly marked or the sign was obscured, and you had no idea you were even breaking the law. A perceived emergency may have had you trying to get to your home or to the hospital as quickly as possible. Whatever the reason, one of the skilled and experienced members of our legal team can represent you in court to cast your case in the best possible light. A successful outcome may be a dismissal, an acquittal, or reduction of your charge to a civil infraction. If you have any questions about these laws and what type of penalties could be associated with a violation of them, please visit the Virginia DMV website for more information.
Reckless driving by speed is a misdemeanor criminal offense. As such, anyone convicted of speed-related reckless driving has a potential sentence of up to one year in jail. Other consequences of conviction include fines of up to $2,500 and a six month driver’s license suspension. With a moving violation on your driving record for eleven years, your insurance premiums may increase dramatically. A qualified attorney with our firm can help you minimize or avoid these consequences by launching an aggressive defense crafted to specifically suit the unique circumstances of your case.
