No I won't. Google the Va Bar Association for their number and ask for one specializing in traffic law. Besides I really wouldn't know who to recommend for that court system.

Take a deep breath, you probably think you're in more trouble than you really are. It'll cost about $500 for an attorney who will most likely get your charge reduced to speeding, which means fewer points and a small fine. Your clean driving record and remorse will be very helpful when you go to court.

Then the bad part, he issued me a general reckless ticket ( 46.2 - 852, MM7.6-MM1 ), indicating I was RD for 7miles. I realized how severe the problem is after getting back home. My situation is:
1. clean driving recode, 0 point
2. I can attend the online driving class
3. I had 18 hours of community service record in 2011.
4. My gf and I both hold PhD degrees, don't know if this will help.

It's not my habit to drive in such a fast way. Is there any one who can give me some advice? Is there any recommendation on RD lawyers? I learned a lesson from this, but I DEFINITELY don't want to have a criminal record. Thank you very much!
