When Reckless Driving Leads to Criminal Charges in Virginia

Experienced Virginia Defense Attorney James Short Helps Clients Navigate Criminal Reckless Driving Charges 

Between work, school, and personal obligations, our lives and schedules are full. With so much on our plates, it can be tempting to speed up or pass other vehicles to shave a few seconds—or minutes—off your driving time. Though it may sound harmless, this qualifies as reckless driving and it can have significant consequences for Virginia motorists. That’s because, in the Old Dominion State, reckless driving is more than a dangerous traffic violation; it’s a criminal offense.

When facing class 1 misdemeanor charges for driving recklessly, consulting an experienced criminal defense attorney is crucial to protecting your rights and future. 

Fortunately, you can count on Virginia attorney James Short for a vigorous defense. Since 1991, he’s helped countless clients from Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Norfolk, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, and the surrounding areas navigate the criminal justice system and secure the best possible results in reckless driving cases. Now, he’s written a book, When Reckless Driving Leads to Criminal Charges in Virginia, to help potential clients better understand the legal process. Inside, you’ll find a wealth of information on these complex cases. Learn:

  • How Virginia law defines reckless driving
  • What penalties you could face if convicted
  • What the court considers in a reckless driving case
  • Why you need an adept attorney and how they can assist you
  • What happens in a criminal case and what to expect at each stage
  • What potential defenses or mitigating factors could apply in your case
  • How to help your case
  • How a reckless driving conviction could impact your life, insurance rates, career, driving privileges, and future 

The book contains a brief biography, providing insight into Mr. Short's background, education, and accomplishments, as well as a sampling of five-star reviews from our clients.
