Look for the Right Experience and Credentials

The first thing to look for in a Fairfax reckless driving attorney?

Make sure that they have the experience and the court record that you need to improve your chances of winning your case.

You’ll also need to ask about their educational and professional background, as well as ensure that they specialize in Virginia reckless driving laws.

You should always make sure that they are licensed to practice law in the state of Virginia. Look them up on the Virginia State Bar website to be certain.

Ask for References

When you’re looking for a Fairfax reckless driving lawyer, you need to get a feel for how you can expect to be treated by your attorney.

The best way to do this is by reaching out to their past clients. Ask how well the attorney kept in touch with them throughout the process and were they happy with the outcome.

Also, talk to those references about billing.

Were there any hidden fees that the client wasn’t informed of? Was the client charged unfairly, or did the attorney outsource a good bit of work to other legal professionals?

Set Up an Initial Consultation

The best way to truly determine whether or not you’ve found the right reckless driving attorney in Virginia?

Meet with them for a face-to-face consultation.

Watch how they explain legal concepts to you and whether or not their communication style matches well with your own. Do you feel as though you’re a priority, or is the attorney rushing you through to meet with another client?

You’ll know fairly quickly if you’re working with someone you can trust.
