Report
I was cited for reckless driving going 20+ mph over the speed limit. After consulting with a few attorneys, I selected Kelly since she was very friendly, had a perfect AVVO rating, and reasonable fees. She was great in court, working out a plea deal with the prosecutor and the deputy so all I had to do was pay a fine but didn't get any points. I did take the defensive and reckless driving courses and had a clean record but Kelly went above and beyond in trying to secure the best possible plea deal. Best attorney in Loudoun!

Report
Ms.King was diligent and informative throughout my court process. She took time to learn about me as a person and advised me on steps I can take to help myself in my case. While also learning as much about the case as she could. Ultimately her findings dropped my charge down to a traffic law violation. Leaving nothing on my record, my license in good standing, and only a small fine. I am very thankful for her help in this process.
