Why Local Representation Matters
Traffic cases from northern Accomack County are generally heard in the General District Court in Accomac. Each court has its own procedures, and a local attorney can help you know what to expect. Our office in Keller is close to the courthouse, which makes it easier for us to stay involved in your case.
When Speeding Becomes Reckless Driving
Virginia’s reckless driving law applies to speeds of 20 miles per hour or more over the limit, or more than 85 miles per hour. It is a criminal misdemeanor. Reckless driving can also be charged based on how a vehicle was driven, not just its speed.
Should You Prepay?
Prepaying a ticket is usually considered a guilty plea. If you are unsure whether your offense is an infraction or a misdemeanor, read our guide to Virginia traffic offenses or call us before you pay.

When Your Job Depends on Your License
Many people in northern Accomack County commute long distances, drive for work, or operate trucks and farm equipment. A suspended license can mean a lost job, and a CDL holder may face stricter consequences than other drivers. When we review your case, we look at how the outcome could affect your work so you can make decisions with the full picture in mind.
A Conviction Can Follow You
Virginia assigns demerit points for many convictions, and serious offenses can remain on a DMV record for years. Insurance companies also review driving records when setting rates. The cost of a conviction can therefore last well beyond the fine. That is why it is worth understanding your options before you pay a ticket written in or near Oak Hall.
