If you are arrested or charged with an offense beyond a civil infraction, it is in your best interest to contact one of the attorneys with our firm as soon as possible. Not only does your early action help make sure important evidence is retained, but it helps ensure that your rights are protected throughout the criminal justice process you are facing. Many people who have been charged with a traffic crime have never faced any other criminal accusation. An experienced attorney knows what to do to help you maintain your freedom and your privileges. Without legal help from a qualified attorney, you may face unnecessary consequences and hardships, and will likely jeopardize your case. Don’t wait to find out the extent of your charge or what type of penalties you might be facing. The longer you wait to contact an attorney, you give your attorney less time to research your case and build a defense strategy on your behalf.

What Offenses Do Prince William County Reckless Driving Lawyers Handle?

Virginia traffic law outlines specific driving actions that qualify as reckless. Though many of these are clearly aggressive, others may result from a driver’s distraction or an unawareness of a vehicle’s malfunction. Some of these violations include but are not limited to:

  • Speeding—in excess of 80mph or 20 mph above the posted limit
  • Failure to yield—right of way, to an emergency vehicle
  • Passing illegally—on a curve, at the crest of a hill, two vehicles abreast, stopped school bus
  • Faulty brakes
  • Obstructed view
  • Racing

As a misdemeanor criminal offense, reckless driving could earn you up to one year in jail. Even if your violation has not risen to the level of reckless, consult with a Prince William speeding ticket lawyer today.

If you have never been arrested or charged for one of these offenses, you might not fully understand which acts constitute a violation.

But if it is too late, and you have already been arrested for or charged with one of these criminal violations, our attorneys may be able to help lessen the charge you face, or at the very least, mitigate as much as possible the affects of a possible conviction on your life. You do not have to face this type of charge alone, and doing so might lead you to have a more stringent penalty then is necessary.

If you are tried for reckless driving, your case might be heard at the Prince William County Circuit Court in Manassas. You can find the circuit court at 9311 Lee Avenue.
