As an out of state mom worried about my kid, I took a chance with David Long and so grateful that I did. My son got a speeding ticket in VA, as all state laws are different; in VA this is reckless driving and a possible Misdemeanor. He was very professional with the confidence and kindness I was looking for. My son and I were truly grateful. My son walked away without reckless driving and no misdemeanor. We highly recommend David Long..... a wonderful and extremely competent attorney.
