Any Reckless Driving charge above 100 mph in Fairfax County is a serious charge with a real possibility of jail time. Fairfax Reckless Driving attorney Jonathan Oates had a client charged with reckless at 102 mph. Not only was this client looking for no jail time, but her objective was also to avoid a reckless and a criminal record altogether.
With a major challenge ahead, Oates prepared and guided his client to put her in the best position to eliminate a criminal reckless driving conviction. Based on his guidance and a challenge to the officer’s evidence, Oates was able to persuade both the prosecutor and judge to not only reduce the reckless driving to a speeding charge but to lower the speed from 102 mph to 74 mph in a 55 mph zone.
