Claude is an expert, he knows what he is doing and he will get it done. He knows how to handle a case and I doubt he would take one he couldn’t win. That being said he stays busy!!! Be patient with returned communication he is in court all day fighting for his clients. I wouldn’t be a Nurse without his help getting me a second chance and a third. I have had a hard life and wouldn’t be where I am without this guys help. Trust me he is on your side.

I cannot express in words how grateful we are to Claude Whitehead for his expertise and guidance through a very scary situation. We made the mistake of hiring a cookie cutter attorney for my son's reckless driving ticket. The original lawyer never questioned anyone or anything in regard to the ticket. His plan was for my son to complete 50 hours of community service, do the driving course and get character letters to present to the court. The first attorney told us to be there at 9:15 for court at 9:30 and he walked in at 9:50 without even introducing himself. He never questioned the police officer or how he obtained his speed even though I told him that there was two different speeds listed on the ticket. After my son's conviction he told us that we got what he was hoping for, my son kept his license and no jail time. However, he did get a misdemeanor (which is permanent) on his record which was the main thing we were trying to avoid. He clearly had no plan to try to challenge the ticket. We asked to appeal and he basically laughed and said we'd likely see a harsher punishment if we did. The attorney was unprepared to present any information we had sent him to the judge, was late and didn't even know who my son was. We decided the appeal was the way to go and after talking to several lawyers our search ended when I spoke to Mr. Whitehead. He was understanding and compassionate and ready to hit the ground running. He made no promises but boy did he deliver! He laid out a very detailed plan and stuck to it. He was very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. He explained the how and the why and we always knew where we were with everything at all times. Not only did the charge get reduced to speeding, but the misdemeanor was gone and the fines significantly lowered. If you are looking for a speeding or traffic ticket save yourself a lot of time and worry, call Mr. Whitehead first. We wish we had.

Claude is an Excellent lawyer who has years of experience. He helped me out so, so much. He is very affordable and easy to work with. He goes beyond the case and gets down to the details of what is going on. He was very invested in me and my case. I couldn't picked a better lawyer. I highly recommend Calude to anyone trying to fight a DUI/DWI. Claude is your guy. He is the best.

I was terrified after being stopped and give a ticket for 88mph in a70 zone.Traffic was pushing and aggressive and was in the middle of this pack of traffic,with no way to get out I was surrounded. I’m on a widows pension of 1100$ a month and am traveling between SC and VA TO TAKE care of my 91 yr old mother.I explained I was a disabled vet with ptsd and I was talked to very kind. Mr. Whitehead said he felt good for me after hearing my acts. I was called on the day of court and told I wouldn’t lose any points just a fine rather low. I was never so surprised for such a favorable handling of my case. All I can say is that the man told me he felt good about my case and he truly delivered

I recently found myself in a very nice scary situation with the law. One that could of landed me in jail for a significant amount of time. To make a long story short, I hit my rock bottom and I was very uncertain of my future. It had gotten so bad that I was experiencing panic attacks every day. Just the thought of returning to jail had my stomach in knots. Mr. Whitehead miraculously worked his expertise in the courtroom and was able to convince the Judge and Commonwealth Attorney that I turned my life around and I was on the straight and narrow. Instead of a lengthy jail sentence, they chose to impose a fine. I was able to walk out of the courtroom a free man. I will be forever grateful for his cool, calm, and collective demeanor. If you have found yourself in a tight jam and need a lawyer to fight for you. Look no further. This is the guy you want in your corner representing you in the courtroom. Hands down, he will do everything in his power for the best possible outcome. Thanks again, Claude, you’re a lifesaver!

Mr. Whitehead is the best lawyer you will find. No matter what is needed he will help you through the process. If you want the best outcome and a lawyer who helps you through it, you want Claude Whitehead.

Whitehead was very unresponsive during my legal process. Contacted him for months and did not respond to calls voicemails or text messages. I thought he has passed and searched obituaries. Just unprofessional. You hire a lawyer to represent you and then you can’t contact him after the initial case. I did not sign a retainer because I was in another state and I think he took advantage of that idk because he isn’t responding. There are plenty of lawyers out there do yourself a favor and get one that can act professional on your behalf and not just take your money and leave you out to dry

After receiving a reckless driving ticket with excessive speed over 80 mph , south of Richmond, I researched the Richmond area attorneys and Mr. Battle’s office put me in contact with Mr. Whitehead. I am a MD resident and had to drive 3 hours to get to the court hearing . Mr. Whitehead was sincere, timely, caring, and professional throughout the entire process from our first phone conversation. I was extremely worried about the outcome which could have been disastrous, ie. Jail time. He worked on my case which resulted in a suspended license in VA for 90 days, a $500 fine , and 50 hours of community service. His fee was reasonable and fair. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney for a reckless driving citation. Do not hesitate to hire him to represent you! I am extremely grateful to him.

After being charged with reckless driving In Lawrenceville (for speeding above 80mph) I was bombarded with letters from attorneys offering to defend me. Not sure how to decide, I consulted a professional in my area. He was instrumental in my decision to hire Claude Whitehead. And it was the best decision I could have possibly made! Not only was he sympathetic and encouraging, he achieved a better result for me than I ever hoped for— getting my charges reduced to a non -moving violation which will not affect my insurance rates at all. And his fees are far more reasonable than many others in his geographical area. You will not be disappointed with Claude Whitehead if you hire him to represent you!

The 1st time I spoke to Atty a Whitehead I new he was the right person to represent me I got all info he asked for and was assured he ccould help me and he did charges reduced so grateful for his help he is a great attorney thanks again

Claude was excellent in helping my daughter with a speeding ticket in Brunswick County. She was facing a reckless driving charge, but with Claude's assistance and advise she was able to perform community service and an on-line drivers education course, resulting in a lesser charge. His help was instrumental in resolving this issue. I strongly recommend him. He understand the court, he has a very calm demeanor and was upfront from the beginning as to what could be achieved.

Mr. Claude Whitehead represented me on the charge of reckless driving. I had no idea that driving less than 20mph over the speed limit could warrant such a charge--a class one misdemeanor in Virginia. Claude gave me peace of mind throughout the process, advised me on what I needed to do, and represented me in court so I didn't have to take a day off work. In the end, the reckless driving charge was dropped and reduced to a simple speeding ticket. Claude saved me a lot of time researching what to do and going to court. He also saved me what would have been a lot of money on my new insurance premium. Thanks Claude!
