I highly recommend Ryan Rakness. I got pulled over in Virginia and hit with a reckless driving charge. As someone with a perfect driving record who has never been to court, this was pretty nerve-wracking. I was referred to Ryan and I'm so glad I was. He was professional and made me feel comfortable. He explained everything, kept me up to date on what was happening with my case and convinced the judge to bring it down to just a speeding ticket. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is in a similar situation to mine, he really is the man for the job!

I hired Ryan to help expunge my possession of marijuana charge. I was upset that this charge was on my record given the circumstances of my case. Ryan quickly connected with me and showed expert judgement while offering me a much-needed peace of mind. He clearly explained the specifics of my situation and was confident in his ability to achieve an excellent result, which was very reassuring. Ryan was able to get my charge expunged in a matter of weeks! He was very diligent and truly supported me throughout the process. I highly recommend Mr. Rakness for any problems you are facing. He will thoughtfully analyze your situation and fight for your rights!

Ryan was recommended to me by another attorney for my reckless driving citation for excess speed and another traffic ticket. Ryan recommended that I do some community service and take a VA DMV approved driver improvement course prior to my court date. Bottom-line results: reduced to defective equipment (no longer a misdemeanor) and the other one too was dismissed. Ryan took care of everything in court. If you are looking for a professional, helpful and extremely knowledgeable lawyer on such cases then look no further.

Ryan is amazing!!! I really needed a lawyer fast to handle a family situation and he immediately took on my case. He was very attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and very compassionate about his client. He listened to the case and offered suggestions on what we needed to do. From start to finish, he handled the case with care. He was very attentive to all of the details. During the proceedings, he told us what to expect going in to it and possible outcomes. He was very understanding abs never made us feel like or questions were unimportant. He to care of my family when we needed him and I would highly recommend him for all your needs.

My son received a reckess driving citation (misdeamenor) in AUG 2019 in Madison County, VA and upon doing my own research, I have decied to choose Mr. Rakness as my son's legal counsil. Unlike my previous experiences with other lawyers, he is very prompt on returning my calls/emails/questions and delievered the result that I was hoping for. He got my son off with at a reduced citation of speeding with only $200 fine + court cost. I was really jazzed and I wanted to let others know that Mr. Rakness is honest, prompt, and delivered the result. His fee is really really reasonable for considering the offense and I wanted to take time to THANK HIM for his outstanding job. Thank you!! Jay K.

I highly recommend Ryan Rakness. He very kindly represented me for my reckless driving case (80 in 55) which is a misdemeanor offense in Virginia. Ryan was courteous, professional, and made me feel at ease. He explained everything in detail, kept me informed throughout the process, and successfully convinced the judge to show leniency with my case (citation - small fine + court costs). Thank you so much, Ryan.

This is the first time (and hopefully last) I have ever needed an attorney. I was wary about having to contact one as I have a bad impression of attorneys and did not want to pay an exorbinant amount of money for services I wasn't sure I needed. (Reckless driving/excessive speed.) First of all, he and his staff were excellent about responding via phone and email and that helped a lot as our case was urgent. He was patient to listen to me and to go over all of our options. He had excellent wisdom in knowing exactly what approach should be taken. The morning of the trial, he was able to get the prosecutor and judge to agree to a lesser charge - which just carried a simple fine - rather than jail time or license suspension which were possible outcomes. He was a pleasure to work with and I am grateful he was willing to take our case. I am scared to think what would have happened if we had tried to navigate this situation without him. I highly recommend him.

After receiving a speeding ticket passing through Madison county I sought out an attorney to represent me in court. I found Ryan's profile on this site and read several glowing reviews. Although skeptical since I'm used to Yelp and Google for reviews, I gave Ryan a call. He walked me through the process, including all possible outcomes of my court case and likelihood of each. In the end, we got lucky and the speeding ticket was reduced to improper equipment! Obviously this was just a stroke of luck, but I wouldn't have had that opportunity if I plead guilty and paid the fine OR if I represented myself in court. Thanks Ryan!

Although skeptical since I'm used to Yelp and Google for reviews, I gave Ryan a call. He walked me through the process, including all possible outcomes of my court case and likelihood of each. In the end, we got lucky and the speeding ticket was reduced to improper equipment! Obviously this was just a stroke of luck, but I wouldn't have had that opportunity if I plead guilty and paid the fine OR if I represented myself in court. Thanks Ryan!

I am extremely grateful for Ryan Rakness. Excellent Service! I would recommend Mr. Rakness to anyone needing assistance in his area. I was also very impressed with the professionalism and timeliness of his staff (Kyhla) in response and care.

I highly recommend Ryan Rakness. I got pulled over in Virginia and hit with a reckless driving charge. As someone with a perfect driving record who has never been to court, this was pretty nerve-wracking. I was referred to Ryan and I'm so glad I was. He was professional and made me feel comfortable. He explained everything, kept me up to date on what was happening with my case and convinced the judge to bring it down to just a speeding ticket. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is in a similar situation to mine, he really is the man for the job!

I hired Ryan to help expunge my possession of marijuana charge. I was upset that this charge was on my record given the circumstances of my case. Ryan quickly connected with me and showed expert judgement while offering me a much-needed peace of mind. He clearly explained the specifics of my situation and was confident in his ability to achieve an excellent result, which was very reassuring. Ryan was able to get my charge expunged in a matter of weeks! He was very diligent and truly supported me throughout the process. I highly recommend Mr. Rakness for any problems you are facing. He will thoughtfully analyze your situation and fight for your rights!

Ryan was recommended to me by another attorney for my reckless driving citation for excess speed and another traffic ticket. Ryan recommended that I do some community service and take a VA DMV approved driver improvement course prior to my court date. Bottom-line results: reduced to defective equipment (no longer a misdemeanor) and the other one too was dismissed. Ryan took care of everything in court. If you are looking for a professional, helpful and extremely knowledgeable lawyer on such cases then look no further.

Ryan is amazing!!! I really needed a lawyer fast to handle a family situation and he immediately took on my case. He was very attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and very compassionate about his client. He listened to the case and offered suggestions on what we needed to do. From start to finish, he handled the case with care. He was very attentive to all of the details. During the proceedings, he told us what to expect going in to it and possible outcomes. He was very understanding abs never made us feel like or questions were unimportant. He to care of my family when we needed him and I would highly recommend him for all your needs.

My son received a reckess driving citation (misdeamenor) in AUG 2019 in Madison County, VA and upon doing my own research, I have decied to choose Mr. Rakness as my son's legal counsil. Unlike my previous experiences with other lawyers, he is very prompt on returning my calls/emails/questions and delievered the result that I was hoping for. He got my son off with at a reduced citation of speeding with only $200 fine + court cost. I was really jazzed and I wanted to let others know that Mr. Rakness is honest, prompt, and delivered the result. His fee is really really reasonable for considering the offense and I wanted to take time to THANK HIM for his outstanding job. Thank you!! Jay K.

I highly recommend Ryan Rakness. He very kindly represented me for my reckless driving case (80 in 55) which is a misdemeanor offense in Virginia. Ryan was courteous, professional, and made me feel at ease. He explained everything in detail, kept me informed throughout the process, and successfully convinced the judge to show leniency with my case (citation - small fine + court costs). Thank you so much, Ryan.

This is the first time (and hopefully last) I have ever needed an attorney. I was wary about having to contact one as I have a bad impression of attorneys and did not want to pay an exorbinant amount of money for services I wasn't sure I needed. (Reckless driving/excessive speed.) First of all, he and his staff were excellent about responding via phone and email and that helped a lot as our case was urgent. He was patient to listen to me and to go over all of our options. He had excellent wisdom in knowing exactly what approach should be taken. The morning of the trial, he was able to get the prosecutor and judge to agree to a lesser charge - which just carried a simple fine - rather than jail time or license suspension which were possible outcomes. He was a pleasure to work with and I am grateful he was willing to take our case. I am scared to think what would have happened if we had tried to navigate this situation without him. I highly recommend him.

The morning of the trial, he was able to get the prosecutor and judge to agree to a lesser charge - which just carried a simple fine - rather than jail time or license suspension which were possible outcomes. He was a pleasure to work with and I am grateful he was willing to take our case. I am scared to think what would have happened if we had tried to navigate this situation without him. I highly recommend him.

After receiving a speeding ticket passing through Madison county I sought out an attorney to represent me in court. I found Ryan's profile on this site and read several glowing reviews. Although skeptical since I'm used to Yelp and Google for reviews, I gave Ryan a call. He walked me through the process, including all possible outcomes of my court case and likelihood of each. In the end, we got lucky and the speeding ticket was reduced to improper equipment! Obviously this was just a stroke of luck, but I wouldn't have had that opportunity if I plead guilty and paid the fine OR if I represented myself in court. Thanks Ryan!

I am extremely grateful for Ryan Rakness. Excellent Service! I would recommend Mr. Rakness to anyone needing assistance in his area. I was also very impressed with the professionalism and timeliness of his staff (Kyhla) in response and care.

I highly recommend Ryan Rakness. I got pulled over in Virginia and hit with a reckless driving charge. As someone with a perfect driving record who has never been to court, this was pretty nerve-wracking. I was referred to Ryan and I'm so glad I was. He was professional and made me feel comfortable. He explained everything, kept me up to date on what was happening with my case and convinced the judge to bring it down to just a speeding ticket. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is in a similar situation to mine, he really is the man for the job!

I hired Ryan to help expunge my possession of marijuana charge. I was upset that this charge was on my record given the circumstances of my case. Ryan quickly connected with me and showed expert judgement while offering me a much-needed peace of mind. He clearly explained the specifics of my situation and was confident in his ability to achieve an excellent result, which was very reassuring. Ryan was able to get my charge expunged in a matter of weeks! He was very diligent and truly supported me throughout the process. I highly recommend Mr. Rakness for any problems you are facing. He will thoughtfully analyze your situation and fight for your rights!

Ryan was recommended to me by another attorney for my reckless driving citation for excess speed and another traffic ticket. Ryan recommended that I do some community service and take a VA DMV approved driver improvement course prior to my court date. Bottom-line results: reduced to defective equipment (no longer a misdemeanor) and the other one too was dismissed. Ryan took care of everything in court. If you are looking for a professional, helpful and extremely knowledgeable lawyer on such cases then look no further.

Ryan is amazing!!! I really needed a lawyer fast to handle a family situation and he immediately took on my case. He was very attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and very compassionate about his client. He listened to the case and offered suggestions on what we needed to do. From start to finish, he handled the case with care. He was very attentive to all of the details. During the proceedings, he told us what to expect going in to it and possible outcomes. He was very understanding abs never made us feel like or questions were unimportant. He to care of my family when we needed him and I would highly recommend him for all your needs.

My son received a reckess driving citation (misdeamenor) in AUG 2019 in Madison County, VA and upon doing my own research, I have decied to choose Mr. Rakness as my son's legal counsil. Unlike my previous experiences with other lawyers, he is very prompt on returning my calls/emails/questions and delievered the result that I was hoping for. He got my son off with at a reduced citation of speeding with only $200 fine + court cost. I was really jazzed and I wanted to let others know that Mr. Rakness is honest, prompt, and delivered the result. His fee is really really reasonable for considering the offense and I wanted to take time to THANK HIM for his outstanding job. Thank you!! Jay K.

I highly recommend Ryan Rakness. He very kindly represented me for my reckless driving case (80 in 55) which is a misdemeanor offense in Virginia. Ryan was courteous, professional, and made me feel at ease. He explained everything in detail, kept me informed throughout the process, and successfully convinced the judge to show leniency with my case (citation - small fine + court costs). Thank you so much, Ryan.

This is the first time (and hopefully last) I have ever needed an attorney. I was wary about having to contact one as I have a bad impression of attorneys and did not want to pay an exorbinant amount of money for services I wasn't sure I needed. (Reckless driving/excessive speed.) First of all, he and his staff were excellent about responding via phone and email and that helped a lot as our case was urgent. He was patient to listen to me and to go over all of our options. He had excellent wisdom in knowing exactly what approach should be taken. The morning of the trial, he was able to get the prosecutor and judge to agree to a lesser charge - which just carried a simple fine - rather than jail time or license suspension which were possible outcomes. He was a pleasure to work with and I am grateful he was willing to take our case. I am scared to think what would have happened if we had tried to navigate this situation without him. I highly recommend him.

After receiving a speeding ticket passing through Madison county I sought out an attorney to represent me in court. I found Ryan's profile on this site and read several glowing reviews. Although skeptical since I'm used to Yelp and Google for reviews, I gave Ryan a call. He walked me through the process, including all possible outcomes of my court case and likelihood of each. In the end, we got lucky and the speeding ticket was reduced to improper equipment! Obviously this was just a stroke of luck, but I wouldn't have had that opportunity if I plead guilty and paid the fine OR if I represented myself in court. Thanks Ryan!

I am extremely grateful for Ryan Rakness. Excellent Service! I would recommend Mr. Rakness to anyone needing assistance in his area. I was also very impressed with the professionalism and timeliness of his staff (Kyhla) in response and care.

I highly recommend Ryan Rakness. I got pulled over in Virginia and hit with a reckless driving charge. As someone with a perfect driving record who has never been to court, this was pretty nerve-wracking. I was referred to Ryan and I'm so glad I was. He was professional and made me feel comfortable. He explained everything, kept me up to date on what was happening with my case and convinced the judge to bring it down to just a speeding ticket. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is in a similar situation to mine, he really is the man for the job!

I hired Ryan to help expunge my possession of marijuana charge. I was upset that this charge was on my record given the circumstances of my case. Ryan quickly connected with me and showed expert judgement while offering me a much-needed peace of mind. He clearly explained the specifics of my situation and was confident in his ability to achieve an excellent result, which was very reassuring. Ryan was able to get my charge expunged in a matter of weeks! He was very diligent and truly supported me throughout the process. I highly recommend Mr. Rakness for any problems you are facing. He will thoughtfully analyze your situation and fight for your rights!

Ryan was recommended to me by another attorney for my reckless driving citation for excess speed and another traffic ticket. Ryan recommended that I do some community service and take a VA DMV approved driver improvement course prior to my court date. Bottom-line results: reduced to defective equipment (no longer a misdemeanor) and the other one too was dismissed. Ryan took care of everything in court. If you are looking for a professional, helpful and extremely knowledgeable lawyer on such cases then look no further.

Ryan is amazing!!! I really needed a lawyer fast to handle a family situation and he immediately took on my case. He was very attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and very compassionate about his client. He listened to the case and offered suggestions on what we needed to do. From start to finish, he handled the case with care. He was very attentive to all of the details. During the proceedings, he told us what to expect going in to it and possible outcomes. He was very understanding abs never made us feel like or questions were unimportant. He to care of my family when we needed him and I would highly recommend him for all your needs.

My son received a reckess driving citation (misdeamenor) in AUG 2019 in Madison County, VA and upon doing my own research, I have decied to choose Mr. Rakness as my son's legal counsil. Unlike my previous experiences with other lawyers, he is very prompt on returning my calls/emails/questions and delievered the result that I was hoping for. He got my son off with at a reduced citation of speeding with only $200 fine + court cost. I was really jazzed and I wanted to let others know that Mr. Rakness is honest, prompt, and delivered the result. His fee is really really reasonable for considering the offense and I wanted to take time to THANK HIM for his outstanding job. Thank you!! Jay K.

I highly recommend Ryan Rakness. He very kindly represented me for my reckless driving case (80 in 55) which is a misdemeanor offense in Virginia. Ryan was courteous, professional, and made me feel at ease. He explained everything in detail, kept me informed throughout the process, and successfully convinced the judge to show leniency with my case (citation - small fine + court costs). Thank you so much, Ryan.
