People often ask us, “Why should I hire your firm for my reckless driving charge?” The answer is both simple and complicated. First, we’re just the best – obviously!

But all kidding aside, you don’t have to hire us – in fact, you need to hire an attorney you ‘click’ with and one who has a legal strategy you agree with. Our attorneys are warm, friendly, and experienced – all factors that make it more likely that you will connect with and trust us.

Here at Simons, Thurman & Fix, we provide personalized service that you may not receive from other firms. Some of the firms you may have googled are what we call “Traffic Mill” firms.

At a traffic mill, the consulting attorney talks a good game and convinces you to hire an out-of-town firm for a hefty retainer. You sign a complicated fee agreement with small print that allows the firm to “farm out” your case to an attorney you have never talked to. Then, your case is transmitted to legal assistants and an unknown attorney whom you may not trust or connect with. You are never able to talk to the charming, flashy attorney again.

Next, legal assistants without law degrees or courtroom experience try to explain the court process, leaving many of these clients frustrated and disillusioned. Hiring one of our attorneys ensures that the person you consult with is the attorney assisting you both inside and outside the courtroom. We do not “farm out” cases. Our defense strategy is individualized by the attorney themself to your specific circumstances, and you can always call your attorney any time with questions.

Hiring a local attorney for any case has significant advantages. A local attorney will know the local rules, procedures, and court customs. This is important because you need to use the arguments that historically have the highest success rate. These local connections can also facilitate smoother negotiations or alternative solutions. Proximity to the court also reduces delays and improves communication, ensuring that your attorney stays up to date with case developments.

Local firms like Simons, Thurman, & Fix are often a cost-effective solution for your reckless driving charge. Firms even two hours away may charge additional fees for travel, when we can walk right down the street to the Rockbridge Courthouse or be in Alleghany or Augusta counties in less than an hour. Our fees are often lower than the traffic mill fees, and our attorneys have more experience with our local courts than the traffic mills that pay to have their advertisements   rise to the top of your Google search bar.

Hiring an experienced local firm such as Simons, Thurman, & Fix is your best option. A proactive approach to your reckless driving charge could save you from years of unnecessary expenses and penalties. Give us a call today at (540) 463-6016 for individualized legal advice.
