Tell us what the ticket says and which court it's in — call or send us the ticket through the form. After we've talked it through with you, we tell you the flat fee. The point is a real conversation before a real number.
What a ticket really costs
The fine is only part of the story.
Before you pay, understand what may follow: points, insurance, your license, your job, and whether the charge belongs in court.
Convenience
Send a photo from your phone. Most appearances can be handled without you taking a day off work.
DMV points
A speeding conviction can add DMV demerit points and raise insurance costs for years. The exact result depends on the charge and record.
Reckless driving
In Virginia, reckless driving is a Class 1 misdemeanor with possible jail, license loss, and a criminal record. It deserves a defense plan.
Local court experience
Fredericksburg General District Court, Stafford General District Court, and Spotsylvania General District Court each have their own calendars and courtroom practices. Local knowledge helps you prepare for the court that is actually on your ticket.
General information only, not legal advice. The possible consequences of any ticket depend on the facts, charge, and court.
Offenses we handle
A ticket is not one-size-fits-all.
Start with the charge on the summons. We will help you understand the options around it.
Speeding Tickets
Virginia speeding tickets can add DMV demerit points and affect insurance, your record, and your time. The court matters because the charge, local process, and available outcome depend on more than the fine.

Why this practice
Preparation that treats a ticket like it matters.
Cloyd Smith spent 24 years in the United States Army and is a Virginia trial lawyer who has argued and won before the Supreme Court of Virginia.
This traffic-ticket practice brings the same preparation standard used in the firm’s injury and fiduciary work: know the facts, know the forum, and be candid about the path forward.

Questions, answered
Before you call, start here.
Do I have to show up in court?+
Often, no. Whether you must appear depends on the charge, the court, and whether an attorney can appear for you. We will tell you what applies to your case.
Will this put points on my license?+
A conviction may carry DMV demerit points, but the answer depends on the charge and outcome. A review can help you understand the risk before you pay.
Can you get a speeding ticket reduced?+
Sometimes. The available options depend on the speed, your record, the facts, and the local court. We will give you a realistic assessment.
I drive for a living — does this matter more?+
It can. A commercial driver may face employment and CDL consequences in addition to ordinary license and insurance concerns. Tell us if your work depends on driving.
How fast is “reckless” in Virginia?+
Virginia law can classify driving 20 mph or more over the limit, or over 85 mph, as reckless by speed. Other conduct can also support a reckless-driving charge.
What does it cost?+
Call or send us the ticket and court through the form, and after we talk it through, we quote the flat fee. Active duty military, retired military, and first responders receive a discounted flat fee when it applies.
What if my court date is next week?+
Call us or send us the ticket through the form now. A short timeline does not make a ticket impossible, but it does make prompt review important.
