I am a Florida Resident and received a reckless driving ticket in Virginia, Daniel Leavitt was extremly professional and answered all my questions, and he reduced my ticket to be defective equipment with no points or any effect to my driving record, really they are the best

Very satified with my result. Although there was a slight misunderstanding about the cost. I thought when I made my initial payment to Corey it included court cost and fine but when the case was resoved I had to pay another $198.

This past Christmas Day (12-25-18) at 11:17 am, I was charged with Law Section P.421/A46.2-862 (92/70 Reckless driving over 80 mph - Traveling 92 mph in a 70 Zone - S/R). I have no previous speeding tickets in any states. Previous traffic violation: DUI 01/13/13. Finding out that traveling >80 mph in VA is a misdemeanor charge, I was floored and horrified. I switched to being the passenger for the rest of the drive and got on my laptop thoroughly searching through all lawyers in the Brunswick County, VA area specialized in excessive reckless driving speeds. I contacted Dan Leavitt through their website inquiry and received an almost immediate response back ON Christmas Day. I am a very efficient person with a personality which responds well to prompt and thorough email and general communication correspondence, especially in such serious circumstances. Dan answered more questions than he probably had to over an email conversation (serving as an initial consultation)... again, on Christmas. Long story short, I completed 24 hours community service, online traffic school (both prior to the court date), and Dan was able to get the charge reduced from a misdemeanor to a minor traffic infraction of improper control/driving even with past history of a DUI (reduction was the difference of 6 points on my license for 11 years AND a misdemeanor charge... and 3 points for 3 years). Regardless, I would absolutely recommend Leavitt & Martin and suggest the same to anyone who values their record, reputation, time and money. Peace of mind and trust are priceless, and Leavitt & Martin guarantee both.

Mr. Leavitt is a highly competent legal professional. He provided me with clear instructions on what he needed in order to mitigate my case and was able to have my expensive ticket reduced significantly. He certainly took a huge burden off my shoulders. He also has extensive knowledge of the courts in the area. I'm very satisfied with the service I received and would recommend this law firm to anyone.

I am out of state and was referred to Mr. Leavitt’s company, and that was certainly the best thing that came out of getting a bogus reckless driving ticket in VA for speeding (78/55). I felt stressed and confused about how to proceed, but Dan responded promptly and laid things out step-by-step from start to finish. He was always easy to reach, friendly, and confident, which meant a lot to someone who felt very lost prior to our conversations regarding this matter. Dan kept me informed and included me in every decision, and was able to achieve the best possible outcome for my case (a non-moving violation with no points added to my license and very reasonable court/citation fees totaling around $200). Considering the original charge can cost someone a couple thousand dollars, this was incredible news. If you are in need of representation from someone who is confident and trustworthy, look no further. Thank you for all you have done to help me, Dan!

I received a reckless driving ticket in Petersburg, VA. They got the ticket reduced to a non-moving violation. UNBELIEVABLE result! I will recommend that you 1) Get representation as soon as possible, court dates come quick and there are things they will recommend you do. 2) Do the things they say immediately! The course takes like 6 hours, then a mandatory 24 hour break, then another 6 hours. Give yourself a couple days to finish it! And then you have to wait for the certificate and send it on to them. So start it immediately! 3) The calibration is quick and easy. Do it quick as well so he has the real copy of the form, not a scan which some courts won't accept.
You will get a bunch of letters from attorneys once the ticket is posted on the jurisdictions website. Throw them all away and use this firm!

I was so pleased with the level of professionalism and patience from Mr. Martin. I was so anxious about the whole thing (a ticket for 85 in a 70) and he assured me that he would take care of everything for me. He was true to his word. I had an excellent driving record and he helped me keep it that way.

Very impressed! Mr. Leavitt was extremely attentive and answered every question we had in a timely manner. He represented my cousin that lives in Jersey without him having to be there , knocked the ticket down from reckless driving to a improper. I highly recommend his services !

This guy is the real deal! Unfortunately I've had my fair share of speeding tickets over the years. I've ALWAYS gotten an attorney instead of just pleading guilty. I've never had an interaction like the one I had with Dan. He contacted me back from my original request for information within minutes, on a Saturday night of all times. He told me what I could expect (which was more than satisfactory) and before the end of the night I had already lined him up to represent me. He did exactly what he said he would do, got the result he said he expected to get and I couldn't be any happier. Getting a good lawyer is one thing, but getting a good lawyer that won't make you communicate through the firm's paralegal is just a rarity anymore. My 80/70 was reduced to a non-moving violation. Extremely pleased!!!

Excellent attorneys. They got one ticket completely dismissed (high speed) and another one reduced with no points. Corey and Dan were very responsive throughout the process.

I was referred by another law firm in Fredericksburg, VA. First time I've ever had a reckless driving ticket, I did not know it was considered a Class 1 Misdemeanor!!

Long story short, Daniel was quick and professional. Followed up quickly and responded to all my necessary questions. It was a pleasure working with him and I got my ticket reduced to simple speeding. While the entire process felt overwhelming as I was worried, I put my trust in Daniel and his firm and all went well. I highly reccomend!

I received my first speeding ticket ever for 77 in a 55 mph zone in the state on Virginia where the penalties are harsh. I decided to hire a lawyer and I'm glad that I chose Leavitt & Martin. They were kind and patient with answering all of my questions and were able to get my ticket reduced to defective equipment. I was totally satisfied.

I am so happy I chose Leavitt & Martin to represent me in my reckless driving case in Virginia! I am from PA and I have never received a ticket before. I was super shocked at how sever the charges are for going over the speed limit of 80 in Virginia when the speed limit was 70. I did a lot of research and decided to go with Leavitt & Martin! It was the best decision I could ever made! They got my case completely dismissed and all I had to do was pay the court fines and fess! The fee to retain them and for them to represent me in court was reasonable and so worth it!!! Thank you so much!!!

Leavitt and Martin are great. I have lived in Virginia for over 35 years and never new anything over 80 was considered Reckless Driving. I read about the the negative consequences of a RD conviction and realized I should probably get a lawyer. I looked online at reviews and called the first firm I found (unfortunately it was not Leavitt and Martin) that several had good reviews. While they were professional they did not seem very attentive and I felt I wasn't much of a priority.

In reading the reviews for Leavitt and Martin and seeing the information on their website they just seemed much more personable. I found out after I contacted them that they are in fact very personable and very good at what they do. Even though this was my first time dealing with a lawyer they made me feel confident and put my mind at ease about what they could do for my case.

Their professionalism, knowledge of the courts, promptness, accessibility, attentiveness, and explanation of the realistic results I can expect won me over right away. I was charged with 82/70 RD and they were able to get it reduced to a non moving violation. I am very happy with the result and with their representation.

I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs this type of representation.

In Jan 2018, I was driving from NC and got summons (yellow in color, says VIRGINIA UNIFORM SUMMONS, Law Section § 46.2-862. Exceeding speed limit.) on I-95, Sussex County, Virginia for driving 82 in 70 mile zone. It was dark night and got flagged. Officer said that I crossed a truck that was making 82 miles an hour.

Without reading and seriousness, I signed and took the summons and put it in the glove compartment. However, during the weekend I had time to read and visited the Sussex court website and learned the consequences of getting a ticket in the State of VA. I kind of got worried, panicked, disturbed and started writing emails to various attorney's in Sussex County. I want to say Daniel Leavitt was the only attorney who responded to my emails and phone calls on the weekend. I did not hear from any attorney or firm except two weeks prior to the court date.

I spoke to Dan and he was crystal clear about the ticket and consequences of not responding or attending the court. Dan said that I could fight myself in the court and I need not hire him. He gave all answers to my questions and never rushed to hang up the phone. He also responded to my emails without much delay. Again, this was on the weekend.

The fee was high but I had no doubt about his ability and firm expertise. Also, I would not have gone to the court because I am 280 miles away from Sussex, VA. I had an option to wait and work with other firms. The magic thing for me was, Daniel Leavitt was responsive and helpful. I rather work with people who are helpful and prompt. I have paid the fee, submitted the documents including summons, driving license, driving record from my state for the last five years.

One day prior to court date, made a phone call to the firm and talked to Corey Martin. He said that I am all set and need not attend the court.
The court time was 11:00 AM, then I get a email at 12:30 PM for Leavitt and Martin that my ticket was reduced from misdemeanor reckless driving charge to a non-moving violation called Defective Speedometer. I was relieved after seeing that email.

I had a great experience working and talking to these two gentlemen. They are committed, responsive, responsible, accessible and courteous. I am sure, you are reading this review because you got a ticket in Sussex, VA and may be from out of state. I say, call Leavittt & Martin!

I needed an attorney in VA but do not live there so I had to go by what competing attorney’s websites said. Mr. Leavitt’s site had a lot of information that I felt other attorneys might charge to obtain.
I am extremely satisfied with his representation. This was an extremely stressful situation but he made me feel hopeful and more at ease. And you can’t put a price on that. The court’s decision was better than I could have hoped and exactly what Mr. Leavitt told me would likely happen. I am forever indebted to him.

I received a reckless driving citation from Emporia PD a few months back for doing 82mph in a 70mph zone on I-95. I called Leavitt and Martin the following morning to see if they’d be willing to represent me in court without me having to appear since I live in New Jersey. Dan agreed and gave me a rundown of how the court appearance would play out. They were able to get the reckless driving reduced to defective equipment (non-moving violation), saving me an absolute nightmare with my employer since I am a CDL holder. So, if you want your issue handled the best way possible, give these guys a call. You won’t be disappointed.

Mr. Leavitt is just THE BEST lawyer out there!
November, 2019, I was charged with Reckless Driving doing 85 on a 70mph in VA.

I emailed Mr. Leavitt that same night when I became aware of the serious charge a Reckless Driving is in the state of Virginia. He was very polite, and helpful . I also spoke with 4 other lawyers, but Mr. Daniel Leavitt was the one I decided to go with. Yes, he was the one who charged me the most, when compared to a TON of letters of lawyers I received at home, BUT it gave me tranquility knowing my case would be well attended. You get what you pay for, right?!

My court just happened this last week of January. Mr. Leavitt was able to bring the charge down to a non moving violation, no points on my license, no class to be taken. I just paid the ticket + court costs. I also didnt go to court as he was there to represent me.

I hope I never have a need to use his services anymore, but I would recommend him to EVERYONE out there. He is truly an amazing lawyer.

If you're out of state like me, you probably felt nervous when you searched online for what the penalties were for a traffic ticket in Virginia, and saw all the lawyer sites that popped up in the results. After reading the reviews for Leavitt & Martin, I sent an email to Dan through his site and thought I might hear back within a few days - he replied almost immediately! From there he eased my mind with his experience in handling these kind of cases and gave clear instruction on how to proceed and what to expect moving forward. I was impressed with how knowledgeable he was regarding my case specifics and how responsive (and patient!) he was to my questions, both in email and on the phone, and I'm happy to say he delivered the best outcome for my case. Retaining Dan was the best decision I could have made, if you want top tier representation, go with Leavitt & Martin!

Leavitt and Martin produced excellent results for me. I am a Florida Resident and received a very serious traffic ticket in Virginia that could have resulted in a huge fine and possible suspension of License.

I did not even have to return to Virginia. The firm was able to go to court for me and got the charges reduced to a much lesser charge.

Daniel was very well recommended to me by 2 other attorneys in the state and as soon as I sent the email, I received quick and thoughtful responses. He was very clear about what could happen to me, so I did everything he recommended and after the court results, I couldn't be happier. My case, which was serious, has been reduced to a simple traffic violation and now I can rest easy because the anguish is over. Thanks Dan and Corey, you guys are awesome.

Corey Martin was extremely professional. He took up my case immediately when I reached out to him. He sent me an email with detailed instructions on what I needed to do next. I followed his instructions and sent him the documentation he requested from me. On the court date, he sent me an email saying that my case was dismissed. There is nothing more that the attorney could have done to make it easier and convenient for me. I was happy with the level of service provided and I would very highly recommend this team of attorneys!

Daniel Leavitt was very professional, prompt, and caring in all of his interactions with me. He was the only lawyer that took the time to ask me about the particulars of my case, and thought outside the box for how to address those particulars. He took the time to have me give a character reference and a detailed testimony, and he was very considerate of my time and availability as an elementary school teacher. He cost more than other lawyers I called, but he made me feel the most confident and I know I made the right choice. He had my case dismissed and I am so grateful!

My wife had an "incident" while in Virginia. I realized I needed a lawyer and saw all the positive reviews on Leavitt and Martin. I figured I would at least contact them and see how long they would take to get back to me. Like every review stated, Dan gets back to you very quickly, answers questions and even answers his phone.

The firms price is reasonable, but not cheap. I received many mailings from lawyers who stated they would take care of the incident for about $150. Even though the low price offered in these mailings was tempting, I would not trust a lawyer who claims to work so far below the going rate of an attorney.

On the evening of my wife's court date, Dan emailed me to tell me that everything went as he said it would and my wife's issue was resolved.

THANK YOU DAN!

I called Leavitt & Martin after I was referred by another law firm that did not practice in the Greenville area. Immediately Corey Martin brought my stress level of thinking about the gravity of the offense of doing 84 in 70 mph zone. In Virginia it is not merely a simple traffic offense but a reckless driving is a criminal offense. As a federal civil service employee I could not have a criminal offense to continue working in the civil service. He told me to send in my DD214 military discharge papers and driving abstract of records to help in pleading my case. The results were what I had prayed for and I thank Levitt and Martin for the results. Also the follow on post court link was very helpful in finally closing my case. I would recommend this law firm as having outstanding service and you get what you paid for. I have received over 30 lawyers letter after my case was publish but stay with Levitt and Martin because of prompt information every step of my case.

Well I was traveling through dinwiddie county from North Carolina for a baby shower in VA. I was rolling with the flow of traffic and BAM blue lights. The officer hands me the ticket and I continue on my journey. It wasn’t until I got back to NC and really read the citation and much to my dismay realized that it was for reckless driving. That’s a serious charge in Virginia( in case you didn’t know). I actually sent an inquiry to another attorney ( on Sunday )who immediately referred me to Mr. Leavitt. His office contacted me first thing Monday morning. Dan told me that he could get the charge reduced with no points on my license. Happy to say he did just that! Although, his fee is a little expensive, he helped me out of a serious charge. If you find yourself in a similar situation I recommend giving Dan a call!

Dan is the man!! So thankful I found him just before going with one of the predatory attorneys that emailed and called me non-stop. Dan put a lot of time and effort into my case and for that I'm very thankful. He was abe to perform a miracle for me and I know this from personal experience. He always responded to me almost instantly, even after hours on a Friday and that's unheard of from lawyers in my past encounters. There is a reason his reviews are what they are and if you hire him I can promise you won't regret it. Thanks again Dan, you saved me many headaches and issues moving forward had the outcome been different...

I will recommend Daniel Leavitt and his firm to anyone that is in need of representation for any sort of traffic violation. I have a clean driving record and was gutted after receiving my very first ticket. It wasn't just a speeding ticket, but it was a 83/55 mph reckless driving ticket. This was a "BIG DEAL" ticket that I received, especially for my very first one. I was not familiar with the area and failed to realize the dramatic speed decrease - which is totally on me. The consequences can be severe and I immediately did my research and sent an inquiry to Dan. I will tell you it is well worth paying the fee for an attorney, especially one as skilled as Dan Leavitt.

He is successful at what he does and was confident he could get my violation reduced. He did more than that, he got the charges 100% dismissed with zero fines or court costs. I'm telling you, I couldn't have done this on my own as Dan instructed me on all the steps I needed to take for the best result and to show that I am taking this very seriously. Even when I expressed my doubts that some of these things had to be done, I trusted him 100% and I am glad I did.

Not only did he answer every panicked email and question, he was very reassuring that we were doing everything we needed to succeed. I emailed so often (and he responded to each inquiry) I went from addressing him as "Mr. Leavitt" to "Dan" in our correspondence-he felt like a friend. I hope to never have to retain his services in the future, but I would recommend him to anyone who needs a skilled attorney

I was solicited by dozens of mailers from law firms as soon as my case got posted, but I am glad I did my research and found Leavitt & Martin (without solicitation) and I just know this result wouldn't have been possible without them.

I am forever grateful. Thanks, Dan!

We found the BEST!! My son is a summa cum laude Yale graduate mathematics and Harvard law school and did not want to retain a lawyer. But out of respect for his mother’s request, he looked for a lawyer to take on his criminal offense wreckless driving summons in Virginia. My son was confident that the charge could be reduced to a lesser violation, so we were overwhelmed and delighted when Daniel Leavitt got it DISMISSED!!! It was not an easy case and was further complicated by having only five days before the court date, and involved getting in-State and out-of-state driving records. Dan is formidable!!! Thank you, Dan!!!

I was driving 87 in a 70 zone and was pulled over for Reckless Driving. I only realized the seriousness of the charge later when I reached home. Needless to say I've had a sleepless night. After reading many good reviews here, I reached out to Mr Leavitt to represent me. The fee is very reasonable.
Mr. Leavitt successfully modified the charge to a non moving violation. I was very happy and relieved with the outcome. I would recommend him to anyone looking for efficient, quality legal representation.

It's not fun getting a ticket in Virginia - and never over 20mph (although I wasn't over the speed limit that much, I didn't know that reckless driving is a felony in VA!) By next day, you'll have about a dozen unsolicited requests for representation. Every lawyer living/breathing in that County will ask for your business - citing their ticket-clearing record.

I didn't receive any such solicitation from L&M, PLLC. In fact, I reached out to my attorney for recommendations. He searched Lexis/Nexis and other legal sites and provided me with L&M, PLLC information/recommendation. I called and spoke directly with the Principal, who was courteous and didn't make a "sales pitch". I exchanged emails, asked for an engagement letter - which I subsequently signed after having my attorney review it. Throughout the process, they kept me informed, guided me to the right driving school, and submission of my Driver's Improvement Program (DIP) class. Suffice it to say, following their advice, I was able to have my case dismissed and record expunged. VA DIP class is really informative, and though it may sound onerous, it's absolutely worth taking (not to mention required when the Judge so stipulates). Even if you haven't received a ticket, it's an excellent class that re-calibrates your driving habits and adds a sense of safety/security we all tend to take for granted over the years.

My experience with Dan was the most positive one I have ever had with an attorney. For any of your legal needs, do not hesitate to do business with this firm. In fact, go out of your way to make sure you hire them. Dan and his firm will go out of their way to provide you with solid legal counsel and get you the results you deserve. He won't rip you off and he WILL earn the money. I recommend completely.

Excellent attorney. RD reduced to non moving violation for my son saving him the dreaded RD misdemeanor following him for the next 30 - 40 years.

The beginning of February I was pulled over for speeding in Greensville, VA going 85 in a 70 mph area. The ticket I received was for reckless driving. I immediately looked up attorneys in the area who specialized in this and came across Daniel Leavitt's name. I called him and he actually answered the phone. My court date was the end of March and Mr. Leavitt was able to reduce the violation to defective equipment. It was a long month and a half. Thank you! thank you! and thank you again! Mr. Leavitt. If anyone else is as unfortunate as I was, I highly recommend Daniel Leavitt.

Daniel Leavitt was amazingly helpful. He got my Reckless Driving citation for 82 in a 70 outright dismissed. I was very nervous when I called to inquire about his services but Daniel put me right at ease with a simple, and straightforward plan. I did what he suggested and he took care of the rest. I could not recommend this firm, and Mr. Leavitt in particular, enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Great experience dealing with this firm. Service was excellent and expedient. There were no points of frustration or wasted time in my dealings with them. Quick to respond to my emails and calls. Cost for representation was fair/comparable. Results were greater than what I expected.

I was issued a "reckless by speed" going 85/70 in Sussex Virginia. This was my first "speeding" ticket, but my record is not 100% clean. Mr. Leavitt was able to represent me in court and knocked the traffic matter down to a non moving violation that carried nothing but a fine. I would recommend him to anyone looking for efficient, quality legal representation.

I was driving 84 in a 70 zone and was pulled over for Reckless so I did a little research on who might provide the best representation and it turned out to be Leavitt & Martin PLLC. The process was easy, I followed the the direction they provided and it all worked out. My Reckless was dismissed and I did not even have to be there in court. These guys are very good at creating the proper expectation and provide great representation so I highly recommend them.

I called to sue a court system. The representative on the phone, misunderstood what I was trying to communicate. I said, "You're not understanding what I'm trying to convey." Then he says, "I appreciated the call. I don't have time for this." So, I guess you don't have time to make money. The representative was extremely arrogant and lacks communication skills. It's apparent they only handle simple ticket matters. I would really pass on these lawyers if you're articulate and not speaking like a 3rd grader.

I was just represented by Mr. Leavitt, I was foolishly caught in VA doing 89/70. This was the first ticket I had ever received let alone a misdemeanor! I was referred to Mr.Leavitt, he gave me a realist expectation from the facts of my case. I was a little nervous about his fee, it was higher than I expected, but there were so many good reviews and I desperately wanted this lowered. He ended up getting the whole case dismissed! I only had to pay some court fees and my record remain clear! I couldn't have asked for a better result, I thought the best I'd get was it dropped to anything other than reckless driving. Mr.Leavitt was prompt and very respectful, he let me know as soon as possible what I needed to do and the result of my case. I'd recommend him to anyone who gets caught with a ticket in VA and lives out of state. He's really everything mine and the other reviews say!

I was driving from GA to MD and got pulled over in VA doing 85 in a 70, I had no idea going over 80 was reckless driving and a Class 1 misdemeanor. Leavitt & Martin were incredible! They had reasonable fees and got my charge bumped down to a non moving violation. VA traffic laws are ridiculous, if you're from out of state like me use Leavitt & Martin, they're great and handle everything for you.

Drivers driving through VA, beware..! If you get a reckless driving ticket in VA, you have come to the right place. Leave it to Mr. Leavitt to fix the same.
Virginia is NOT for lovers, but is the road to CLASS-1 Misdemeanor for speeding at/over 80mph; this can leave a permanent scar of a criminal record with a lot of undesirable consequences if not tackled with the right legal help. I was in a daze when charged with a ticket for driving at 87mph in a 70mph zone near Dinwiddie; was always under the impression that you had to drive 25mph over the posted limit to be considered reckless, but realized the seriousness of my stupidity in VA in a couple of hours, looking up the issue/fine details on the web. I looked up numerous legal options but through some gut feeling decided to engage the services of Mr. Leavitt and I am definitely glad that I did. Mr. Leavitt spoke to me/responded promptly to each of my emails/concerns himself and helped get the charges dismissed. I would say to anyone.."Leave it to Mr. Leavitt" to take care of any of your reckless driving charges, but better still, do not be caught in VA, driving anywhere at 80mph or over.

I hired the services of Daniel 2 days after I got my ticket 84 on a 70(clean driving record), he had a flat rate and I did not have to show up for court (I was referred to him through another lawyer I found online). He got me with a defective equipment $100 and court fee $71 which I found to be pretty good as he said it could have been $150 max for defective equipment.
Another thing, is that Dan said it would help the fact I was a veteran, so for anyone with a ticket, keep that in mind.
Bottom line, when I hired Dan it took off a lot of stress off my shoulders as he told me he would take care of everything, and he kept it personal as I always communicated with him and not a secretary; he also said that even if the case would drag or extends for whatever reason it was already included in the flat rate, which is a plus.

Working with Mr. Leavitt was an absolute pleasure. I was stopped and ticketed for doing 83 in a 70 (which is reckless) on I-85 in Brunswick County. He was extremely prompt in replying to my e-mails and answered all my questions concisely and left no room for confusion. I had two prior tickets (following too closely with an accident and speeding 49/40) and he managed to get my reckless ticket reduced to regular speeding (79/70). He was phenomenal and I STRONGLY recommend working with him!

I was charged with Reckless Driving for going 83 in a 70 in Greenville VA on a clear sunny day with the flow of traffic. (I'm from Vermont, so to me this was far from being "reckless"..) However, the charge is a misdemeanor on my permanent record according to VA law, so I had to fight it.

I called another lawyer in VA who recommended me to Dan Leavitt, so I gave him a call. I emailed Dan my driving record after getting it from the state DMV and a copy of my ticket; he answered a couple questions that I had and said he had everything that he needed for the hearing and would email me afterward (the hearing was taking place about a month later.)

Dan represented me at a flat rate and I didn't have to even attend the court date. He boasted a 100% success rate with cases like mine, and he got my fine reduced to a non-moving violation and a $200 fine. He said he could not promise to win every case, but if I was polite to the officer, had a clean driving record, and wasn't going more than 20 miles over the speed limit then odds were good. He seemed to have a good relationship with both traffic cops and the local judges.

All in all, I received no points on my license, no misdemeanor on my record, and didn't have to drive all night to get to VA at 10am. I would recommend Dan to any out-of-stater who finds themselves being charged as a "reckless" driver in Virginia.

I'm from northern Virginia and was heading down to North Carolina when I got a speeding ticket. I was doing 83 in a 70 but it was still reckless. I didn't want to drive all the way back down so I picked a Lawyer online and lucky for me it was Daniel Leavitt. All he needed was a copy of the ticket and my driving record and now my costly reckless driving ticket is an equipment failure ticket. He saved my a bunch of money kept points off my record and it couldn't have been any easier. His prices also seem vary fair.

Highly recommended

I highly recommend Mr. Leavitt for any and all traffic matters. From start to finish Mr. Leavitt was accessible each and every time I contacted him. I had a traffic accident and I was concerned about insurance issues and points on my driving record. Mr. Leavitt handled everything and got my charge completely dismissed with no fine. He handled my case personally in court and did not send an associate or new attorney to handle the case... Hiring this attorney was worth every penny.

I have had the pleasure of working with Daniel and his team and it was nothing short of Professional. I had been charged with reckless driving and Daniel and his team represented me superbly in court. Thanks to him, this charge was dropped to a non moving violation. I would highly recommend retaining this team to defend you in the court of law.

I live in Virginia Beach,VA and I was driving my parents from Orlando. I received a reckless driving for driving 89mph in a 70mph zone going around Richmond,I was shocked to find out that the charge of Reckless Driving is a Class 1 Misdemeanor.I decided to go with Daniel Leavitt. I called him and he could not have been nicer or more knowledgeable.The outcome was a defective equipment, no points, non-moving traffic infraction. It is tough to find an out of town lawyer. The outcome was very favorable and I was glad I sought such good representation. If you’re ever in a bind on a traffic ticket in VA – I would highly recommend representation by Daniel Leavitt. Thank you again Mr. Leavitt!

I endorse this lawyer, who represented me on a speed trap case in Virginia. The law is intentionally harsh in order to force drivers to plead to a lesser charge and pay attorneys and fines. Mr. Leavitt represented me ably, obtained a good result, and most importantly he responded almost instantly to my every communication and gave me very clear, concise instructions. I was very uneasy about not being in court personally, but he was most professional throughout and justified my trust in him, saving me the trip back to Virginia and the possible consequences of my anger about the law itself and the revenue-related method of enforcing it in that area.

I was in a car accident in Mecklenburg County and the state trooper gave me a reckless driving summons. Thankfully I did some research early and discovered I should hire a lawyer.

Dan was extremely helpful and incredibly patient with my many questions. He was very responsive, even before I had agreed to hire him. He got my case dismissed and I didn't have to appear in court.

I'm so glad I hired him, it couldn't have ended any better. I would highly recommend him.

Mr Leavitt is greatness. First, he was a human being and easy to talk to. Second, he was smart, and always knew what he was talking about. Third, he was aggressive in his defense, and I really felt like he really wanted my issue resolved as badly as I did. Fourth, the issue was in fact resolved to my satisfaction, thanks to 1 through 3, above.

He was always accessible, returned his calls and never rushed me off the phone; I felt that my concerns became his concerns.

(I once wrote a check for $10,000 to another attorney for another mater entirely, just to tie up loose ends, and if that guy had had a fraction of the smarts, scruples and humanity as Mr. Leavitt, it would have been money well spent, not money simply wasted. I may as well have burned it.)

I would recommend Mr. Leavitt to anyone I know.

My granddaughter received a reckless driving, 87 in a 70, in the Emporia area - speed trap heaven for the county I think! Be that as it may, I found Mr. Leavitt on the internet, contacted him and he responded a few hours later when he returned from Court. He worked out a fabulous result for my granddaughter! She did not even have to appear. He was always responsive to our questions, up front with his answers, and we could not have had a better outcome or be happier. We also thought his fee was reasonable under what could have been more serious circumstances!

What a concise, precise service from an attorney. Dan Leavitt recently handled a court matter for me that arose from the now infamous Emporia Entrapment Emporium. Mr. Leavitt returned my call very promptly, asked me relevant questions, openly and freely discussed his fees and terms and left me reassured that I truly had competent and engaged legal representation at court.

He handled my case, kept me informed of the various stages and their results, represented me in court and achieved an outcome that was acceptable to me.

As I am in a service oriented profession myself, I highly recommend Mr. Leavitt for his superior legal representation in Southside Virginia.

My husband and I secured Mr. Leavitt's services when our son was charged with reckless driving after received a very serious speeding ticket on his way back to college. It was my son's first offense of any kind and we were concerned about the points on his license as well as having a permanent misdemeanor charge on his record. I did some research and found out that Mr. Leavitt had very positive reviews and was also the president of the local bar association.

Mr. Leavitt was proactive and responsive from day one. He a did an excellent job of explaining the serious nature of the charges to our son and made a definite impression on him. Mr. Leavitt is very familiar with the judges in the area and gave us good advice on how to be proactive before the court date to achieve the best results.

We had a complication with VASAP that was no fault of ours or our attorney's and at no extra cost, Mr. Leavitt handled the situation by writing several emails and letters, as well as getting our judge involved. In the end, our son's charges were reduced from reckless driving to a simple speeding ticket. He does not have any record and I would very highly recommend Daniel Leavitt. He is an excellent attorney, has very good communication skills, and is extremely knowledgeable.

I received a speeding ticket in Sussex County, VA - 80 MPH in a 70 zone. As I am required to have a "very" clean driving record for my business, I was recommended to Mr. Leavitt by another attorney- it was a good choice.
He is professional, thorough and dedicated - the outcome was as good as one can hope for.
I would highly recommend Mr. Leavitt!

We recently engage the services for Dan Leavitt when my son received a speeding ticket in Brunswick County. Since in the Commonwealth of Virginia, any speeding charge over 80 mph is classified as a misdemeanor reckless driving charge, we thought it would be wise to hire legal counsel to guide us through the process. Mr. Leavitt was extremely responsive and explained how the legal proceedings would work from beginning to end. After our court date, he also took time to explain the outcome and also made sure he answered any questions we had. We were very satisfied with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend him or use him in the future.

I got pulled over near Hopewell on my way to a vacation in Florida - a terrible way to start a vacation! The officer issued me summons with reckless driving by speeding for allegedly driving over 80mph in a 70mph zone. I understand the seriousness of a reckless driving charge if convicted and was very worried. After doing a whole lot of research about the charges and also the lawyers in that area, I decided to try Mr. Leavitt. He had an impressive track record in dealing with such cases. After calling him and speaking with him during an initial consultation, I immediately decided to hire him to represent me and I'm glad to have made that decision. He was honest and realistic in his discussions about the case. He is a very competent lawyer and knew what he was doing. He charged me a reasonable fee. What made it a good experience for me was how considerate he was and that he was always available to answer any questions and concerns I had. He got my charges reduced to Improper Driving which is a non-criminal moving infraction. I paid a fine but it was well worth the money to have the charges reduced and to have peace of mind. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled attorney in the Hopewell area.

Mr Leavitt was great! I got charged with reckless driving in Virginia coming from back from a trip to NY and I had no idea what to do, as I've never been charged with any kind of crime before. He handled everything. He might not be the cheapest (I got a few quotes a tiny bit cheaper) but he did his job with no hassle on my side. I would recommend him to a friend, as well as recommending a car with cruise control through Virginia.

I had a RD charge for going 83/70 in Dinwiddie County. I did not realize the severity of the charge and went to court and plead guilty hoping for a reduced sentence. I got convicted and panicked. I am in graduate school for education and having to click "yes" on the criminal conviction was NOT something I was trying to put on a job application... simply because I drove 13 miles over the speed limit. Unfortunately I had a driving record that has marks on it, no speeding tickets but several improper turns and other minor violations that made my record look ugly however on an appeal.

I hired a lawyer in Dinwiddie (NOT Daniel Leavitt) for a very low price to handle my appeal. However, I could not get in contact with him after paying him even to get a receipt for my payment. I called him one day after several emails and about a week of leaving messages and politely but ademately asked his secretary that I get a receipt so that knew what i paid for. Long story she was very rude and hung up the phone on me, even though I kept my tone polite but firm the whole time. I emailed that attorney that I was seeking other counsel and ended up getting a refund.

Now about a week before my appeal I had to find a new attorney. Mr. Leavitt personally answered my call and offered me a reasonable price, and felt trustworthy, so I hired him. He seemed to me to have very seasoned experienced in particular with dealing with Dinwiddie County and how the prosecutors and judges operate and that was very comforting. Not only did he get my charge reduced to just a 9 above speeding ticket. But he was 100% accessible to me. He answered the phone almost every time I called or called me back. I was very anxious about this situation and contacted him quite a few times. He was prompt and thorough in response to emails, and I felt the entire time like he valued my case and never like it was just some minor thing on a stack on his desk (which I felt with my other lawyer)

This issue caused a lot of lost sleep for me and in my opinion, hiring Mr. Leavitt was just a great investment. He seems genuinely passionate about his practice, and I would recommend him to anyone to handle a traffic violation.

Mr. Leavitt is a highly skilled attorney. I have used him for two different traffic cases with excellent results. No fine, no court costs once, no fine, court costs only the second time. Best of all no points on my driving record. Highly recommended.
