Traffic Violations

When I read my speeding ticket and found that it was not only a charge of 82 in a 70 speed zone but an automatic reckless driving charge as well, I was terrified. Dawn Beebe in Mr. Hardenbergh's office was the height of a Paralegal. She put me at ease, provided a thorough checklist of documents to provide and answered EVERY question I had. The results were well beyond my expectations--case dismissed!! Yes, I would absolutely use their services if ever needed.

Mr. Hardenbergh and his staff provided us with better than expected results after my daughter ended up with a reckless driving (84/70) charge while driving through VA. We highly recommend this law firm and will definitely use them again if ever needed! Every person that I spoke to or dealt with via email was professional, helpful and so nice to talk to. They presented us with the best options for my daughter and were able to get her infraction dropped to defective equipment. Raven was excellent!

As a licensed medical provider, my professional responsibilities made it difficult for appearance in VA court personally for "reckless driving" due to speed while responding to an emergency. As a contractor from another state, reached out to attorneys in the region for assistance. Mr Hardenbergh responded immediately His team was professional, courteous + respectful to my questions and concerns regarding possible outcome, work schedule Highly recommend Case Dismissed No Points Small fine A++

Excellent attorney and great customer service. I went ahead and paid the money which is higher than most of the attorneys and it sure paid off. My wreckless driving ticket in Virginia ( I’m from Phila pa) was dismissed completely. In the state of Virginia if found guilty this would have been a criminal record. (76 mph in a 45). Great customer service great team and great results. Highly recommend

They didn’t communicate with me the whole time. Overpriced for a business that doesn’t even reply or explain to you what is going on throughout the process. When my court date came, they didn’t even reach out to me to tell me the outcome and when I reached out to them, they didn’t reply. I had to look up the court with my name to figure out what happened. Ridiculous.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
