CASE DETAILS AND NOTES

Reckless Driving (98/60) Reduced in Chesapeake, VA

Client was charged with the criminal offense of Reckless Driving (98/60) in Chesapeake, VA. A conviction of Reckless Driving in Virginia can have consequences such as a permanent conviction of a class 1 misdemeanor, active and suspended jail time for a maximum of 12 months, a suspension of your driver’s license for a maximum of 6 months, a maximum fine of $2500, demerit points on your driving record, and increased auto-insurance rates. Notably, if anyone is convicted at this speed, judges will strongly consider imposing an active jail sentence. Attorney Michael Huff presented mitigating evidence to the judge and was able to avoid a jail sentence for our client and was also able to get our client's charge reduced to a non-criminal offense, which is hard to do when your alleged speed is 90 mph or higher.
