    2. George represented a co-owner of a home who had multiple disputes with the other co-owner.

    Traffic Offenses:

    1. Noah Weisberg represented client charged in Newport News with DUI/DWI, Driving with Open Container, Operate Vehicle while Holding Phone; Fail to Obey Highway Marking, and Child Neglect. Pursuant to an Agreement reached with the Commonwealth, the client was allowed to plead guilty to Reckless Driving and Operating a Vehicle with a Handheld Device. All remaining charges were dropped.
    2. George represented a CDL holder charged in York County with speeding at 19mph over the limit in his personal vehicle. Because of various Federal laws and regulations that prohibit the “masking” of traffic offenses for CDL holders, many Courts are hesitant to offer reductions that might otherwise be granted to clients without CDLs. George presented the Court with legal authority concerning various exceptions to the “anti-masking” laws and was able to persuade the Court to reduce the speeding offense to defective equipment (a non-moving violation), thereby preserving his client’s good driving record.
    3. George represented a client charged in Newport News with driving with a suspended license – 5th offense, which carries a mandatory minimum of 10 days in jail. George worked with his client to collect information and take remedial steps prior to the hearing in order to present the best case to the Court. Based on the evidence and argument presented at trial, George was able to persuade the Court to amend the charge to driving without a license and to avoid imposing any active jail sentence.
    4. George represented a client charged in Newport News with driving without a license, second offense. The client advised that he lacked a valid license due to unpaid fines from another state and that, although he had paid off the fines, the state was slow to update their records. Despite the fact that the client had been charged with the same offense approximately one month prior to receiving the summons for the second offense, and was aware that he did not have a license when he got pulled over the second time, George was able to persuade the Court to forego imposing any jail time or additional periods of license suspension.
    5. George has represented multiple CDL holder clients charged in Hampton General District Court with tunnel over-height violations, which is treated as a misdemeanor criminal offense under Virginia law. He advised his clients to take certain steps prior to the hearing and reviewed evidence and presented arguments concerning the reliability of the height measuring equipment used by the State Police. Using this strategy, George was able to get the charges reduced to defective equipment, a non-moving violation, thus allowing his clients to avoid significant fines and penalties and a criminal record.
    6. George has represented multiple clients charged in Newport News, York County, and Williamsburg with third or subsequent driving under suspension offenses, which are criminal in nature and carry a mandatory minimum of 10 days in jail. He advised his clients about what actions to take prior to the hearing and in many cases was able to persuade the Court to amend the charge to a less serious offense, avoid imposing jail time, and allow the clients the opportunity to resolve the issue with the DMV.
    7. George has represented multiple clients charged in Newport News, York County, Hampton, and Williamsburg with speeding offenses alleging speeds in excess of 90-100 miles per hour. Given the significant risk of jail time in such cases, he worked with his clients to prepare and present arguments for mitigation, which in many cases resulted in minimal or no jail time, limited periods of license suspension (including restricted driving privileges), and reasonable fines.
    8. George has represented multiple clients charged in Newport News, York County, Hampton, and Williamsburg with moving violations arising from motor vehicle accidents. In these cases, he has tailored his approach to not only assist the clients with beating the charge or having it reduced, but also to try to minimize the clients’ exposure to potential future civil liability for personal injury and property damage.
    9. George represented a client charged with reckless driving in Newport News arising from a motor vehicle accident in which the client had rear-ended another vehicle. Although the client had admitted to the officer at the scene that she was not paying attention, George was able to have the charge dismissed by raising questions about the evidence presented at trial and presenting mitigating evidence on behalf of the client.
    10. George represented a client charged in Hampton with reckless driving at 85mph in a 60mph zone. After reviewing the facts and advising the client regarding actions to take prior to the hearing, he was able to persuade the Court to amend the charge to simple speeding at 9mph over the limit with a minimal fine, thus enabling the client to avoid a notation on her criminal record, jail time, license suspension and large fines.
    11. George represented a client charged in Hampton with reckless driving based upon an alleged incident during which the client was stuck in traffic on a highway and decided to turn onto an off-ramp after having passed the entrance. After presenting the Court with aerial photographs of the road and other mitigating evidence, the Court decided to amend the charge to improper driving, a non-criminal traffic infraction.
    12. George represented a client charged in Newport News with failing to obtain a Virginia driver’s license, a misdemeanor offense. The client was alleged to have failed to obtain a Virginia license after living in the Commonwealth for the period of time specified by law. George worked with the client, who lived in North Carolina for a substantial part of the year, to collect evidence about her place of residence and was able to persuade the Court to amend the charge to a less serious infraction with a minimal fine of $10.
    13. George represented an individual charged in Newport News with reckless driving by speed at 88mph in a 60mph zone. Although this speed is generally considered to be extremely high by local courts, he worked with the client to develop mitigating evidence that was sufficient to persuade the Court to amend the charge to simple speeding at 9mph over the limit, a speeding infraction. The client was thus able to avoid jail time, a license suspension, and hefty fines.
    14. George represented an individual charged in York County with reckless driving by speed at 95mph in a 70mph zone. After advising the client to take a number of actions prior to trial to build a mitigation case, he was able to reach a plea agreement with the Commonwealth Attorney which allowed the client to serve a 5-day jail sentence on weekends and retain restricted driving privileges. As a result, the client could drive to and from work and thus retain his employment despite the conviction.
    15. George represented an individual charged in York County with speeding at 73mph in a 55mph zone. The client spent a lot of time at sea as part of the merchant marine and therefore was unable to attend hearings and take other actions prior to the trial to support a mitigation case. George was able to persuade the Court to grant multiple continuances of the trial date to allow the client additional time to prepare for trial. After presenting evidence and argument at trial, the Court decided to amend the charge to defective equipment, a non-moving violation that does not carry DMV points under Virginia law.
    16. George represented an individual charged in Williamsburg with reckless driving by speed at 87mph in a 70mph zone. Although Williamsburg General District Court generally treats offenses at this speed very seriously, he worked with the client to develop a case for mitigation that was sufficient to persuade the Court to amend the charge to simple speeding at 9mph over the limit, a speeding infraction. The client was thus able to avoid jail time, a license suspension, and substantial fines.
    17. George represented multiple individuals charged with counterfeit inspection sticker offenses throughout Hampton Roads, which are considered misdemeanors under Virginia law. He worked with his clients to develop evidence supporting the argument that the clients all reasonably believed their inspection stickers to be valid and that the inspection stations were at fault for providing the improper stickers. In each case, the Court amended the charges to non-criminal infractions carrying minimal fines.
    18. George represented a client charged in York County with reckless driving by speed at 82mph in a 65mph zone. The client had a significant history of other recent traffic offenses on his record, which typically makes it difficult to convince the Court to reduce the charge. Nevertheless, George worked with his client to build a strong case for a reduction and persuaded the Court to defer disposition of the client’s case to a future date and ultimately amend the charge to a non-criminal speeding infraction based on the client’s compliance with conditions set by the Court.
    19. George represented an individual charged in York County with unsafe lane change leading to an accident. Because the client was a CDL holder working for an interstate trucking company, a moving violation conviction would likely result in significant insurance increases and other consequences. In addition, any testimony offered at the trial carried the potential of being used against the client in a future civil action brought by the other driver involved in the incident. George worked with his client to prepare and present the case in an effective way, which resulted in the Court amending the charge to defective equipment, a non-moving violation.
    20. George represented a client charged in Newport News with following too closely based upon an incident in which the client struck another vehicle around a blind curve on a highway on-ramp. Based on information provided by the client about the incident, George presented at trial aerial and street-level photographs of the area as well as testimony from the client regarding the incident. After hearing the evidence, the Court found the client not guilty of the charged offense.
    21. George represented a client charged in Newport News with an improper lane change violation. Prior to trial, he noticed that the law enforcement official had incorrectly identified the section of the law associated with the charge on the summons. The Court granted George’s motion to dismiss the case based on that issue and the client was found not guilty of the offense.
    22. George represented an individual charged in York County with reckless driving by speed at 93mph in a 70mph zone. Courts usually impose jail time and periods of license suspension for speeding offenses over 90mph and due to the client’s job as a traveling sales representative, such penalties would in all likelihood result in the loss of his job. Based on arguments and evidence presented at trial, the Court was persuaded to allow the client to perform community service instead of serving any jail time or having his license suspended.
    23. George represented a client charged in Williamsburg with speeding at 55mph in a 35mph zone. After interviewing the client in detail, he determined that the client had a clean driving record and that he drove over 35,000 miles per year in connection with his employment. George presented these arguments to the Court and was able to persuade the Court to dismiss the charge entirely with payment of costs.
    24. George represented a client charged in Newport News with driving without a license. After interviewing the client, he determined that the charge was likely due to a DMV error since the client did in fact have a valid license issued by a different state. George collected various pieces of evidence regarding the client’s license status and, after presenting the evidence to the Court, secured a not guilty finding for his client.
    25. George represented a client charged in Newport News with speeding at 51mph in a 35mph zone. After determining that the client had a clean driving record, he worked with the client to take additional actions to build a case for mitigation. After presenting evidence and arguments at trial, the Court decided to dismiss the charge entirely with payment of costs.
    26. George represented an individual charged in Newport News with reckless driving at 95mph in a 60mph zone. Because offenses in excess of 90mph typically carry jail time, he worked diligently with his client to develop a strong case for mitigation. Based on his presentation of evidence and argument at trial, the Court was persuaded to forego any active jail sentence and allow the client to complete community service instead.
    27. George represented an active duty service member charged in York County with driving with a suspended license. The client was unaware his license had been suspended and believed that he had complied with all of the requirements imposed by a different Court in connection with a DUI conviction occurring approximately 10 years prior. In addition, the client was about to be deployed overseas and therefore could not take the steps necessary to have his license reinstated prior to trial. George explained the situation to the Court and presented evidence regarding the client’s efforts to secure reinstatement. Based on the evidence and arguments presented, the Court dismissed the charge.
