Virginia Reckless Driving Lawyer - Daniel P. Leavitt, PLLCLegal Answers
200 Questions Answered
- Q. What happens after pressing charges through the magistrate's office?
- A: No need to worry about subpoena it's beyond your control. The warrant would have been issued by the magistrate, or not, if there was no probable cause.
- Q. Hello so me and my boyfriend got in argument and no physical contact or any hitting was involved but how ever he left
- A: It's up to the prosecutor to move forward or not. If you are the only witness then they would need your testimony to convict. It's best for you to probably retain a lawyer for an hour to go over everything with you.
- Q. In the Commonwealth of Virginia, if a school bus is in motion and is approaching with the red lights flashing, and the
- A: The bus has to be stopped read the statue. They must be alleging the bus was actually stopped.
- Q. If the attorney don't show up on a court date for a reckless driving in VA, who will be at fault ?
- A: Your lawyer should advise you if you need to appear in court or not. Since courts require your presence even with a lawyer. Get it in writing from your lawyer on whether you need to appear or not.
- Q. Is it possible to get my speeding ticket dismissed due to missing information?
- A: If you hire a lawyer they might be able to help get it reduced or dismissed.
- Q. Could i get out of a ticket if the officer put the wrong color car on the ticket?
- A: Give it a try and see you never know.
- Q. What are my chances?
- A: Every court is different at that speed. Talk to a traffic lawyer in the location you got the ticket. Where I practice some judges give you the chance to do 100 hours of community service to stay out of jail and avoid a license suspension. Other judges you are going to jail for 1-30 days no matter what you do and getting a license suspension and high fines. The best courts will consider reducing with a lot of community service.
- Q. I got a dwi in virginia yesterday. Is there any way to ask for them to not suspend my license or add points to my licen?
- A: You should hire a skilled DUI lawyer. If that means borrowing money it may be worth it if they can find a legal defense. Without the BAC the Commonwealth will need to prove intoxication based on driving behavior and what happened during the stop. But the refusal alone carries a license suspension if you're found guilty plus everything with the DUI.
- Q. I got a DUI and a reckless driving. On 2 seperate occasions. He said I was going 105 in a 55 on the reckless. An.
- A: You'll probably go to jail for a bit and get a suspended license.
