NORTHERN VIRGINIA TRAFFIC ATTORNEY
Founder Nicole H. Naum, Esq. explains possible defenses for reckless driving charges in Virginia.
Before You Pay the Ticket, Know What You're Facing
Traffic tickets are not always an open-and-shut case, unless you simply pay the ticket. In Virginia, paying a prepayable ticket generally means accepting the charge and its consequences. Battlefield Law Group can review the facts, your driving record, and the stop itself to determine whether there may be a better option, including a reduced charge or a challenge in court.
Our attorneys are in Northern Virginia courts every week and regularly appear before local judges and Commonwealth’s Attorneys. That familiarity gives us practical insight into how traffic cases are handled and helps us build a strategy around the specific court, charge, and circumstances.
First-Time Offender? Out-of-State Driver? We’ve Got You.
Traffic charges can affect drivers differently depending on their record, license, and where they live. We regularly help clients understand what a Virginia traffic charge could mean for them before they make a decision that may be difficult to undo.
We handle cases for:
Virginia residents
Out-of-state drivers, especially those cited on I-95, I-66, Route 28, and the Beltway
Commercial drivers
Teen and young adult drivers who need to protect their record
Don’t plead guilty just to get it over with. A traffic conviction can follow you for years.
Top Traffic Charges We Handle
Virginia traffic law includes everything from routine moving violations to criminal misdemeanor charges. Battlefield Law Group handles a wide range of traffic cases and can help you understand the specific charge, the potential consequences, and the options available in court.
Reckless Driving — Va. Code § 46.2-862
Virginia treats certain high-speed driving as reckless driving, which is a criminal misdemeanor rather than a simple traffic infraction.
Speeding — Va. Code § 46.2-870
Speeding convictions can add demerit points and affect insurance rates, especially when the speed is significantly above the limit.
Driving on a Suspended License — Va. Code § 46.2-301
Driving while suspended can carry additional license consequences and, depending on the circumstances, criminal penalties.
Following Too Closely — Va. Code § 46.2-816
These charges often arise after traffic stops or accidents and can affect both your driving record and insurance.
Failure to Obey a Highway Sign — Va. Code § 46.2-830
This is a common Virginia traffic charge that can still result in demerit points and a conviction on your record.
Passing a Stopped School Bus — Va. Code § 46.2-859
School bus violations can carry serious penalties and are treated much more seriously than many drivers expect.
