Experience with Greensville Traffic Court
My office is located in the same judicial district as Greensville General District Court. As such, the main courts I serve are located in this district.

Don’t prepay your reckless driving ticket!
A mistake that a lot of people make is paying their reckless driving ticket before court as opposed to hiring a lawyer or appearing in person. Often times, the officer or trooper who wrote the ticket will advise the driver that he/she can pay it online instead of going to court. What many people don’t know is that paying for a ticket before court is an admission of guilt.


A guilty plea to reckless driving carries several consequences. The most important consequence to note is that Reckless driving is a misdemeanor in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Having a misdemeanor on your record can affect your current or future employement. This is especially true if your have a CDL or a security clearance.


A reckless driving conviction can also increase your insurance rates. Due to this, you can actually save money in the long run by hiring a lawyer to fight your ticket as opposed to prepaying.

Why hire a lawyer?
The primary reason most people hire a lawyer for their ticket is to avoid appearing in court. Many of my clients live out of state; driving all the way back to Virginia is a major inconvenience for most people. Traffic court in Greensville is at 9:00 a.m. in the morning. This requires most people to make hotel arrangements to avoid driving there in the middle of the night.


A lot of people hire me because they are uncomfortable representing themselves in court. The idea of appearing in front of a judge for a misdemeanor charge is unsettling for many of my clients.

If you hire me for your reckless driving charge in Greensville, I will ensure that the outcome of your trial was the best result achievable under the circumstances of your case.
