Petersburg, VA Traffic Lawyer David Long Review
Mr. Long represented my daughter for a speeding ticket which included a reckless driving charge.
Mr. Long did an outstanding job understanding the situation that led to the reckless driving charge. He explained the documentation we needed to provide in excellent detail, which ultimately lead to the judge dismissing the reckless driving charge. I was very impressed with his overall knowledge of the court system that rendered the results we were looking for in the case. ~Paul January 31, 2016
