Richmond, Virginia DUI and Reckless Driving Speeding Lawyer Bob Battle

Going to Battle for Your Legal Rights!

If you are charged in Virginia with the serious criminal traffic offenses of DUI/DWI or Reckless Driving Speeding, you have to make some big, potentially life-changing decisions in a hurry. There is an easy way to cut through all the hype you are bombarded with on TV, the internet, your mailbox, and the Yellow Pages. Former prosecutor and top-rated Richmond-area traffic lawyer Bob Battle has written the two consumer guides featured on this page to arm you with the truth and to provide you with the valuable information you need prior to speaking to any lawyer about your case.

Probably the most significant choice you will make will be which lawyer you choose to represent your legal rights. You are the client and you must demand that your lawyer tell you: "Who will be representing me in court at my DUI or Reckless Driving Speeding trial?" In a serious case, the lawyer you entrust with your legal fate will quickly become the most influential person in your life, for better or for worse! Virginia is brimming with lawyers who are more interested in making money for themselves than in answering the needs of clients and providing outstanding service and results. Many have a paralegal or associate do all the work in your case. Even more alarming, many firms, even some firms that spend a lot of money advertising online, will feel free to send any of their lawyers to represent you on your court date, often notifying you of this fact for the first time on the night before your trial or without telling you at all!

Your case is too important to be pawned off on a paralegal or a new associate who needs directions to find the courthouse!​
