I originally had Samantha assigned to my case but due to an unforeseen circumstance John took over my case at the last minute. He was extremely professional and really fought for me to get the best possible outcome. The entire time we were in court he was talking to the trooper, prosecutor or me. While all the other attorneys were sitting still, John was fighting for me, trying to convince the very stubborn police officer and prosecutor that I deserved better than what they were trying to give me. For the speed I was going, I really deserved a license suspension and 10 days in jail and up to a $2500 fine. He was able to get me no license suspension and no real jail time with only a $500 fine. I would highly recommend him and I hope I'll never need an attorney again but if I am ever in need of an attorney, he will be my first call.

John used my first offender status and suggested I put myself through proactive probation where I would complete 100 hours of community service and drug test myself once a month until my court date. My charge was dismissed and I am very pleased with Mr Weiland's plan.

John Weiland is the best in his field! John gave expert legal advise. He took the time to explain everything to me thoroughly and answered any questions that I had. He is very straightforward and honest. If anyone I know ever needs a lawyer, John is my first choice for recommendation.

Out of all attorneys in Virginia, John Weiland gave me the most information and answered every question concerning my case. He explained what will happen before/during/after the court including every little aspect. Our conversation lasted for more than 30 minutes and I’m more than thankful for his help and time!! Definitely recommend John to represent you in your case!!!!

I was on a road trip up to DC when I was caught speeding at 86/70 on the highway. I was handed what I thought was a speeding ticket at the time and was prepared to pay the fine. To my dismay, the actual charge was reckless driving which is a class I misdemeanor in the state of VA. I did a thorough review of the lawyers available to handle my case and that's when I stumbled upon Mr. Weiland. His glowing reviews online were promising and when I called and talked to him, I knew I found the right lawyer. He was able to calmly explain everything about the case and what would go on and promised me that I had a great chance to get the charge reduced to a minor speeding ticket or even completely dismissed. Couple weeks later, I'm happy to report that Mr. Weiland was able to get my charge dismissed completely. Highly recommend Mr. Weiland!!

Mr. Weiland was fantastic. He spoke clearly, was polite, and very charismatic. He was able to get my case dismissed and I am more than thankful for his help!

Let me start by saying that I would highly recommend John Weiland to represent you in your case. I thought my world was coming to an end when I was charged with a DUI. I practically gave the arresting officer everything that was needed to build the DA's case, and the county I was arrested in does not entertain reducing DUI charges - especially .11 BAC cases. John's tenacity and outside of the box thinking not only kept me grounded through this experience, but was able to get the charge reduced to Reckless Driving...instead of a 1 year license suspension, I have 6 months restricted, no ignition interlock needed, and no criminal charge. Thank you, John, for helping me through this and fighting for my future.

If you are looking for a lawyer who will get you the best results possible in your case, hire John Weiland. I was on trial for reckless driving over 90 mph, and while my driving record isn't spotless I have no record of any serious charges (DUI, Reckless Driving, criminal record). My case was tried in Henrico County, where John informed me that it is common for reckless drivers to face 1 day in jail for every mph over 90. After speaking with John (who agreed to take my case at a discount because I am a student) he assured me that he would help me get the best result possible. The day of the case comes and I am standing toe to toe with the judges stand, in completely over my head. John stands next to me, addressing the judge and working my case with the sturdy demeanor of a baseball pitcher starting in the world series. He was able to get my serious reckless driving charge reduced to 20 mph over speeding, and my expired inspection charge dismissed. In a room full of stress and unrest, John Weiland is the cool headed, friendly dispositioned professional that will do everything he can to ensure that you are given a fair and reasonable result.

I was charged with reckless driving in Hanover County, VA. I am from DC area and I was unaware of the laws in VA and taken completely off guard by the charge. I contacted John after reading the wonderful reviews posted on www.avvo.com and after carefully hearing my case John assured me that I should not worry. I hired him and could not have asked for better results. He got my case dismissed. I am extremely grateful to John Weiland and his staff and would recommend him to anyone that is in a similar situation.

Sharp informative honest tactful the list goes on and willing to fight for you will talk to you with respect was never condasending or dismissive of my questions or insight you can tell he cares these can be rare qualities in some lawyers I recently retained John Weiland to represent me and he delivered amazing results better than i ever could have logically expected i have never been so impressed by any other lawyer ive talked to. i would recommend him to anyone i hope i dont need a lawyer again but if i do the choice is clear for me This guy is an ace hire him now and give yourself some peace of mind youll feel better about things as soon as your done consulting with him awesome lawyer and excellent character you need him in your corner

I was referred to Weiland & Upton by a friend and I am glad I hired them. The speed trap got me going 83 and got a reckless driving ticket. John Weiland was able to get it reduced and saved my me. Thank you, highly recommend.
