Reckless Driving Reduced to Speeding in Henrico County

Stanton Law is a leading criminal and traffic defense law firm based in Richmond, Virginia. We recently secured a remarkably favorable outcome for a client charged with Reckless Driving in Henrico County.

Our client was cited for driving 100 mph in a 65 mph zone—an offense that not only qualifies as Reckless Driving under Virginia law but is also well above the 90 mph threshold that typically results in mandatory jail time. Judges often sentence individuals to jail time if their speed exceeds 90 mph.

Despite this, our client avoided jail time entirely.

By following our legal strategy, the charge was reduced to a simple speeding infraction: 1-9 mph over the limit. This meant no misdemeanor conviction, no license suspension, and none of the harsh penalties typically associated with a case like this. Given the severity of the original charge, this was an exceptional result.

If you or someone you know has been charged with Reckless Driving, DUI/DWI, or another traffic violation in Virginia, contact Stanton Law at (804) 929-8280 for a free consultation.

Please note that past case results do not guarantee or predict similar outcomes in future cases. Each case is unique and influenced by its specific circumstances.
