Reckless Driving Ticket in VA

Reckless Driving Ticket VA – Charge Reduced

The lawyers at DK Firm successfully represented a client who received a Reckless Driving ticket in VA. They had an accident during a snow storm in Fairfax Virginia. We negotiated a deal with the prosecutor to reduce this Reckless Driving charge to Defective Equipment. This is an excellent result. Reckless Driving is a class 1 misdemeanor punishable by up to 12 months in jail, up to a $2500 fine, and or a 6 month license suspension. Reckless Driving also carries 6 negative points with the Virginia DMV. On the other hand, Defective Equipment is a traffic infraction with a maximum fine of $250 and zero points with the Virginia DMV.


Here’s what happened: After a snow storm, our client lost control of their vehicle because of ice on the road. They could not regain control of the vehicle and struck a Fairfax county salt truck. The accident caused extensive damage to the salt truck and the client’s car was a total loss. While the law states that the mere occurrence of an accident does not prove reckless driving, the client admitted to police that they drove too fast for the conditions.

DK Firm criminal defense lawyer successfully defended our client charged with two Felony Assault charges: Strangulation, and Abduction, in Arlington, Virginia. Our client pled guilty to a misdemeanor and the case will be dismissed in two years. Following an argument in a hotel room, the police arrested our client for two Felony Assault charges: Strangulation and Abduction, after an argument in a hotel room. When the police arrived the individual told police they had an argument with our client in the hotel room. The individual reported that our client choked them and prevented them from leaving the hotel room. However, they did not have injuries that matched what they told police. On the day of the preliminary hearing the individual’s story was not consistent with what they told police. Also, the evidence did not support the individual’s story. Based on information from our investigation, the prosecutor agreed that the facts did not support the charges. The DK Firm criminal defense lawyer convinced the prosecutor to dismiss the abduction charge and reduce the strangulation charge to simple assault. Simple assault is a misdemeanor. The judge agreed to dismiss the assault charge in two years.
