Just being located near the court you need isn’t sufficient. Neither is focusing on traffic defense. I recommend talking to an attorney who regularly handles reckless driving cases in the court where your case is pending. It’s all about specific experience in the right courtroom. I’ve mentioned several times that these cases differ greatly based on the court. Even if someone handles ten reckless driving cases every week in Richmond or Fairfax, they may not have the first clue about what the judge will do in your case in Spotsylvania. The judges, officers, prosecutors, and local procedures all vary between courts. You should seek out someone who knows the court where your case will be heard. I regularly defend reckless driving charges in Spotsylvania, Stafford, and Fredericksburg. I defend drivers in the local courts four or five days a week. I get calls from potential clients for cases all over Virginia, but I don’t take on those clients. You deserve an attorney who knows the local court, and I focus on the areas that I know.
