A client was charged with two misdemeanors in Washington County, Virginia. He was charged with Reckless Driving, Failure to Maintain Control, a six point Class 1 Misdemeanor, criminal offense, for loosing control of his vehicle AND Failure to Stop at the Scene of an Accident, also a six point Misdemeanor, criminal offense. After he lost control of his vehicle, he struck a guardrail on the side of the interstate in Washington County, Virginia. The client retained our firm after a no obligation free phone consultation with one of our Attorneys. In Court our firm was able to negotiate with the Judge and Officer and had the Failure to Stop at the Scene of an Accident charge entered as ‘Nolle Prosequi,’ meaning the Commonwealth will proceed no further in the charge. The Failure to Maintain Control charge was reduced to a minor traffic infraction carrying less points. The client owed minimal fines and court costs.
