Speeding Tickets

Speeding Ticket

While many drivers have exceeded posted speed limits during their driving history, speeding ticket charges in Virginia can vary significantly depending on the nature of the offense.  More extreme cases are charged as reckless driving by speed, which is a class 1 misdemeanor. 

Though speeding is an infraction rather than a misdemeanor, a conviction can still carry very serious and lasting consequences including:

  • increased insurance rates
  • license suspension
  • points on your driving record
  • high fines

Defending Speeding Violations

There are many factors that contribute to building a good speeding ticket defense. Our extensive local knowledge and legal expertise regularly saves our clients significant time and money when facing speeding ticket charges. During our initial consultation with a prospective client, we spend time understanding your case, the conditions of your stop and possible outcomes that we can use for your defense.

Increasing Your Chances for a Positive Outcome

Clients can often complete certain tasks prior to the court date in order to present evidence in mitigation of the offense: 

Speeding Ticket Representation

Trey Mattox has represented hundreds of individuals charged with speeding offenses and has an outstanding record of having those charges reduced or dismissed.  Trey regularly saves Mattox Law clients hundreds of dollars in fines and insurance premiums as well as helping to preserve driving privileges. 

Trey is intimately familiar with Virginia speeding laws and what is required of the officer ensuring that all possible legal strategies are pursued. When representing a client for speeding, Trey analyzes every aspect of the case searching for errors made by the officer which can be used as a defense to the case.  Additionally, Trey will insist on his clients completing certain tasks prior to the court date in order to present evidence in mitigation of the offense. 

Why do I Need Mitigation Evidence?

Providing mitigation evidence is something that not all attorneys require and can often lead to better results in court. Mattox Law represents individuals charged with speeding offense who are both Virginia drivers as well as out of state drivers.  All but five states belong to an Interstate Drivers License Compact, which mandates that these member states communicate traffic convictions between states.  Consequences of a speeding conviction in Virginia can extend to your home state, which can bring even more serious punishments.  Seeking professional legal representation is the recommended method for avoiding additional penalties and punishments. 

Speeding Tickets For Out Of State Drivers

Mattox Law represents individuals charged with speeding offense who are both Virginia drivers as well as out of state drivers.  All but five states belong to an Interstate Drivers License Compact, which mandates that these member states communicate traffic convictions between states.  Therefore, the consequences of a speeding conviction in Virginia can be extended to your home state, which can bring even more serious punishments.  One example would be North Carolina where your license can be suspended upon a conviction for speeding in excess of 55 mph and more that 15 mph over the speed limit.

New to Virginia, I was suspicious of all of the lawyer solicitations I received after being speed trapped. I looked through the dozens of pieces of mail and picked the two I felt seemed most professional, called their offices and assessed each experience.

Trey and staff presented themselves as consummate professionals throughout. My questions were answered quickly and thoughtfully. Those of us new to the Commonwealth need to understand how much local municipalities rely on this income. I travel globally, so had no way of appearing personally in court. Hiring Trey to represent me turned out to be a brilliant strategy. He understands the system and represents you with great professionalism.

Don’t hesitate. Hire him!

Trey was able to appear in court on my behalf and successfully reduce my speeding infraction to a defective equipment charge. He responded quickly to emails and seemed on top of his game. I noticed his prices seem to be a bit higher than other attorneys in the area, but in my opinion the increase in charge is worth it.

I am glad I came across Richard Mattox III while searching for a law firm in the Virginia area. I was provided an excellent service from Mr. Mattox and his assistant Stephanie. I was given a piece of mind they will do their best in court to represent my case. It’s especially important if you are an out of state resident. Thank you for great work.

Trey represented me in a traffic matter in the Sussex court. He was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about the specific judge in my case. He was also very reasonably priced. The attorney who referred me told me representation would cost me 3 times what Trey charged, so I was very pleased with the fee. He took care of my traffic charge without me having to travel down to Virginia, with no points on my license (for a reckless driving charge), and for a very manageable fine. Excellent experience all around.
